There is a photograph of Col. John Wetmore Hinsdale, 3rd Regt. N.C. Junior Reserves.
In 1861, he left the University of North Carolina to enlist in the Confederate Army and served with distinction under Generals Holmes, Pettigrew, Pender and Price before being elected colonel of the 3rd Regt. Junior Reserves.
