Biography:
The "Carolina boys" whom Gombault refers to are based on a historical fact: on the night after the first day's fighting at Chancellorsville, while reconnoitering for a possible attack, General Stonewall Jackson was fatally shot by his own troops in the 33rd North Carolina regiment - or, as Gombault puts it, "those Carolina boys shot Jackson by mistake" (54).
Note:
Mr. Gombault recalls that Old Anse McCallum stayed with Stonewall Jackson's army until "those Carolina boys shot Jackson by mistake" (54).
