The North Carolina 34th Infantry Regiment was assembled at High Point, North Carolina, in October, 1861.

The North Carolina 8th Infantry Regiment State Troops completed its organization at Camp Macon, near Warrenton, North Carolina, in September, 1861. A study of this regiment will show that they were placed in two key positions and essentially abandoned. The first was at Roanoke Island in 1862 and the second at Fort Harrison in 1864. In both instances the 8th fought gallantly and lost mightily against over-whelming odds. Had they been properly supported with reserve troops and proper munitions, the war may have turned out VERY differently. This lack of support is tied very closely with the fact that their Brig. Gen. Clingman did not get along well with Jefferson Davis and other politicians of the Confederate Government. Companies of the NC 8th Infantry Regiment Members of the NC 8th Infantry were from the counties of Pasquotank, Perquimans, Camden, Currituck, Edgecombe, New Hanover, Franklin, Granville, Cumberland, Chatham, Harnett, Warren, Rowan, Greene, and Alamance.
