A couple of weeks ago, members of the Col. John B. Palmer Camp 1946, Sons of Confederate Veterans, had a chance to participate in a Confederate Iron Cross dedication at the Gouge Cemetery in Mitchell County. Garrett D. Gouge was a private in Company K of the 58th North Carolina Troops. He left many remarkable pieces of his war-time experiences, including a jacket which is now at the Greensboro Historical Museum, and a set of letters that detail his experiences during the war. It is an honor to participate in such events that preserve our history.
