"Deeds not Words" North Carolina Cap

6th North Carolina Infantry "Deeds Not Words"

She presented it to the Sixth Regiment North Carolina State Troops commanded by her brother Colonel Charles Fisher who was later killed on July 21, 1861 at the Battle of First Manassas.

Tiernan had become an accomplished writer after the war using the pen name of “Christian Reid." [Read More]
