Welcome to the 24th North Carolina Troops, Company F, Cumberland Plough Boys. The Cumberland Plough Boys are looking for potential NCOs and officers, preferably with experience in War of Rights, to help develop a good foundation of real world civil war era tactics. We will accept volunteers a few at a time to organize and train as NCOs and officers, then move on to open recruitment.

We are based in the Eastern Standard Time Zone and would like to recruit members who are able to be online at the same time, however being a new company our training times are negotiable. We plan to have at least 1 training day a week.

We will use real world civil war era tactics and train on them regularly. However, we want the company to be fun and relaxed as well.

The following is an excerpt of a memoir from a real member, James Smith Evans (July 1, 1843-May 26, 1918), of the Cumberland Plough Boys:

It will be remembered by those who were living at that time what a revolution of feeling resulted from the issuing of President Lincoln's Proclamation in the early spring of 1861, calling on North Carolina for her quota of an army of seventy five thousand troops to coerce the then seceded states. Among other military companies organized to resist this invasion was "The Cumberland Plough Boys", a company of twelve months volunteers. This company was organized at Camp Bethany, the old Methodist Camp grounds, about twelve or fifteen miles East of Fayetteville. The company, as accepted by the State, numbered more than one hundred 
officers and enlisted men.

This company has the distinction of every man being a farmer or the family member of a farmer. This fact gave it its name. At something like two months training and preparation for active service, they were ordered to Weldon, (near Wilmington, NC) where it made part of the 14th Regiment North Carolina Volunteers and was designated as Company F. on promotion of Capt. Evans to Major, Charles H. Blocker succeeded to the Captaincy and O. H. Blocker promoted to 3rd Lieutenant. The first active service seen by the company was under General Floyd in West Virginia. While not actively engaged in battle the company suffered heavily. The unseasoned men died in great numbers from Measles and Camp Fever. After spending 
the winter in Petersburg, Va., the company, with its regiment, was sent to Eastern North Carolina, the Chowan River. The term enlistment having expired the company re-enlisted for three years or for the war, as company F, 24th Regiment North Carolina Troops. The writer deems it necessary not to explain why the regiment advanced then numbers, as the same has been told in the public prints r
