Fine condition. Henry Middleton Rutledge (1839 - 1921) enlisted as a major in the 25th North Carolina, on August 15, 1861. He was elected colonel of the regiment in April, 1862 and served in that capacity until the surrender at Appomattox. A fighting regiment, the 25th was active in the Carolinas and Virginia.
