From The Greensborough Patriot
May 8, 1862 – Pg. 1
A
Guerrilla Company – Captain Chas. H. Snead of Smithfield, N. C. has received the authority
to raise and organize a Guerrilla Company for service in the military
department commanded by Major General T. H. Holmes. Captain Snead was formerly first Lieutenant
of a company from Johnston county, and while in
the mountains of Virginia,
as we are reliably informed, his conduct was that of a gentleman, a soldier,
and an officer. We would rejoice to see
him successful. – Goldsboro Daily Bulletin, April 29th.
