On my trek back this evening I noticed a sign about a North Carolina monument and found this beautiful memorial to the color bearer of a NC regiment who fell at the stone wall in Wise's garden as he refused to surrender to the advancing 12th Ohio. The NC flag is visible on one side and the motto Deo Vindice on the other. On the back is an official letter describing the event now captured in so movingly in bronze. The old stone garden fence stands as it did on that September 14th in 1862.
