Excerpt from The Last Days of the War in North Carolina: An Address by Hon. Z. B. Vance, Delivered Feb. 23, 1885, at the Third Annual Reunion of the Association of the Maryland Line, at the Academy of Music, Baltimore The committee of your association who waited upon me, and invited me to deliver an address upon this occasion, will bear me witness how loth I was to undertake the task. The very numerous and urgent engagements which press upon a member of Congress in the closing days of its session are such as to positively forbid that care and accuracy which alone make the value of any historical address. This has been peculiarly true of myself from the time your invitation was delivered. Positively I have not had the time to do either you or myself justice; but about all that our unfortunate struggle left us Confederates was the power to oblige each other. You insisted upon my coming, and here I am. For the want of opportunity of research, I have chosen to speak to you about the closing scenes of the war, the grand culmination of which happened in North Carolina, for the reason that most of them came within my own personal knowledge.
