Colonel William H. Singleton served during the Civil War. In March 1863, he enlisted in the First North Carolina Colored Infantry Regiment which ws later designated the 35th Regiment, US Colored Troops. In 1862-1863, he recruited a thousand Negro volunteers "...and they appointed me their Colonel and I drilled them with cornstalks for guns." He became a "Colonel" by election of his men and not by official orders. Many commissions were awarded during the Civil War to men who trained volunteers. He was born a slave on August 10, 1835 at New Bern, NC, wrote his experiences in 1922 in "Recollections of Slavery Dayss". In May 1863, after the Emancipation Proclamation, Singleton's ex-slave volunteers, who had drilled with cornstalks, were accepted into the US Army. Singleton was enrolled as First Sergeant of "G" Company 35th US Colored Infantry of North Carolina. His regiment experienced active combat service and occupation duty in South Carolina, Florida, and Georgia. He was wounded in the right leg in the battle of Olustie, Florida, one of the biggest battles during the War. After the War, the unit did guard duty in South Carolina and Singleton was mustered out of the service on June 1, 1866 with his unit.
