In the completion of this exhibit a number of valuable resources were consulted. The State Library of North Carolina proved indispensable by making a number of Civil War-era newspapers available on microfilm, particularly the Weekly Raleigh Register. A number of articles from the Raleigh Weekly Standard made up the second half of primary sources used in this exhibit, and was made available through Newspaperarchive.org. Only a minimal number of secondary sources were consulted in the creation of this exhibit, and primarily used to obtain biographical information and information regarding overall social trends in North Carolina in 1862.
