Twenty-Sixth NC Regiment and Burgwyn at Gettysburg
Fred A. Olds recounts the Twenty-Sixth North Carolina at Gettysburg facing the Iron Brigade, Colonel Burgwyn’s fatal charge, and Lane’s heroic response. It notes heavy Confederate losses, Burgwyn’s mythic color guard stands, Lane’s final actions, and the regimental decline from 800 to 588 wounded or missing. The piece links Burgwyn’s legacy to later service and a Spanish-American War comeback under Colonel Burgwyn and the Fifth Maryland.
