Father's Day Emerald Isle, The *Tarheel State - Land of the Longleaf Pine-The Old North State
Via Daughter Christine
*Robert E. Lee quotation
The book Grandfather Tales of North Carolina History (1901) states that:
During the late unhappy war between the States it [North Carolina] was sometimes called the “Tar-heel State,” because tar was made in the State, and because in battle the soldiers of North Carolina stuck to their bloody work as if they had tar on their heels, and when General Lee said, “God bless the Tar-heel boys,” they took the name. (p. 6)[10]
A letter found in 1991 (dating from 1864 in the North Carolina “Tar Heel Collection”) by North Carolina State Archivist David Olson supports the theory that Lee might have stated something similar to this. A Colonel Joseph Engelhard, describing the Battle of Ream’s Station in Virginia, wrote: “It was a ‘Tar Heel’ fight, and … we got Gen’l Lee to thanking God, which you know means something brilliant.”[11][12]
