Pettigrew’s larger units suffered a higher ratio of casualties losing an average of 250 men per regiment. The Gettysburg section may attract the most attention. Yet, North Carolina’s participation at Big Bethel, where they suffered the first battle fatality and their advance and capture of artillery pieces at Chickamauga are also compelling. “The Last Appomattox” reveals scarce details about the final battle for the Army of Northern Virginia and the prominent role played by General Bryan Grime and North Carolina troops.
