Summary:

The turbulent years of 1861-1865 were especially so for the people of Randolph County, North Carolina. Sentiment to stay in the Union was high, and remained so throughout the war, yet hundreds of Randolph natives marched off in uniform, many of course never to return. The "Randolph Hornets," Company M, 22nd Regiment North Carolina Troops, were a company of such men, who carned a reputation for their grit and determination in battle. This book conveys the history of the Randolph Hornets and of the company's individual members through both official and personal accounts of the Civil War. Articles written by Sergeant John T. Turner in 1914 recalling his experiences with the company are included as well as an in-depth history of the company battle flag, its capture and its return to the county. A complete roster of the company includes genealogical information and short biographies of several of the men.
