Presentation Copy to the Former N.C. Confederate State Surgeon by the N.C. Inspector General, Who May Have Been a Relative

There is an early pencil inscription on the front pastedown reads: "Dr. E. Burke Haywood NC / Comp of F. H. Cameron / Ins. Gnl." (for Inspector-General of the North Carolina State Guard). Edmund Burke Haywood (1825-1894) was a Confederate surgeon and humanitarian who was born in Raleigh, N.C. He was the son of John Haywood (1755-1827), the State Treasurer and was the great-grandson of John Haywood (1685-1758), who emigrated to Carolina as an agent for Earl Granville. Haywood entered the University of North Carolina in 1843. In 1861 he enlisted as a private in the Raleigh Light Infantry but soon he was made surgeon of the North Carolina State troops. He was a part of the Peninsular Campaign and the Seven Days Battle in Virginia, and afterwards he was surgeon for the Confederate Army, serving as president of the Army Medical Board. Towards the end of the War, Haywood attended to both Confederate and Union soldiers, and after the Confederate government fell, he continued to work without pay. He also developed some surgical procedures during the war. After the war he returned to private practice in Raleigh, but he also turned his attention to the treatment of mental patients and the care of both races. In 1890 he helped establish the Negro Mental Hospital at Goldsboro and the Western State Hosptial at Morganton.

Frances (or Francis) Hawkes Cameron (1838-1900) was a Lieutenant in the Confederate Marine Corps during the Civil War. His photograph is one of the few images of an Confederate Marine in uniform that have survived. Cameron's first wife was Margaret Nelson Haywood, who was born in Raleigh, Wake County, in 1848 and who died in 1879. The couple were married in 1872. We have found reference to Col. F. H. Cameron in a report from the Adj. General in 1894. He was listed as the N.C. State Adjutant General from 1893 to 1896. At the time of the publication of this book, Johnstone Jones (also of Wake County) was the Adj. Gen. of the State Guard and Cameron was the Inspector General of the State Guard. This book is signed (in type) by Cameron, whose name appears just under Johnstone Jones' name on page vi:
