The North Carolina 36th
Regiment Volunteers, also known as the 2nd Artillery [also called Cape
Fear Regiment], completed its organization at Fort Caswell, North
Carolina, in May, 1862. Its companies were from the counties of
Sampson, Cumberland, New Hanover, Columbus, Halifax, Brunswick, and
Bladen. The unit was attached to the Department of North Carolina and
Southern Virginia and was active at different posts defending Cape
Fear. Later eight companies were engaged at Fort Fisher, one at Fort
Campbell, and one at Wilmington. In December, 1864, a detachment was
involved in the defense of Savannah. After the capture of Fort Fisher ,
it served as infantry in the Battle of Bentonville and surrendered with
the Army of Tennessee. Colonel William Lamb, Lieutenant Colonels John
A. Richardson and John D. Taylor, and Major James M. Stevenson were in
command.
