He was elected the first lieutenant of the 20th North Carolina Infantry and fought in nearly all the battles of the Army of Northern Virginia. He was wounded severely on March 25, 1865, at the Battle of Fort Stedman and was recuperating when the war ended. He was promoted to brigadier general in 1864.
