Governor Zebulon Baird Vance, in response to the increased violence and to enforce conscription, created the home guard in July 1863. Harvey Bingham, a former Confederate officer who was wounded in battle and unable to withstand the rigors of active campaigning, was chosen to command. Bingham’s command was known as the 11th Battalion, North Carolina Home Guard, and eventually contained two companies. A camp which contained cabins was constructed on Cove Creek. Usually, one company was on duty, while the other was back on their farms, tending crops and livestock.
