Henry Washington Keller fought in the Civil War as a Private in the 26th Regiment, North Carolina Infantry, Company C.
The 26th Infantry Regiment was organized in August, 1861, at "Crab Tree," a plantation three miles from Raleigh, North Carolina. Its members were recruited in the counties of Ashe, Union, Wilkes, Chatham, Wake, Caldwell, Moore, Alamance, Randolph, and Anson. The regiment served at Fort Macon, on Bogue Island, North Carolina, then fought at New Bern.
During the Civil War the Regiment was assigned to General R. Ransom's, Pettigrew's, Kirkland's, and MacRae's Brigade.
The 26th saw action in the Seven Days' Battles and later the conflicts at Rawls' Mills and Goldsboro. The 26th went on to fight with the Army of Northern Virginia from Gettusburg to Cold Harbor, took its place in the entrenchments south of the James River, and was involved in the final campaign at Appomattox.
The 26th lost 87 killed or wounded at New Bern, had 6 killed and 40 wounded during the Seven Days' Battles, and of the 843 engaged at Gettysburg, more than eighty percent were disabled. The unit reported 16 killed and 83 wounded at Bristoe and on April 9, 1865, surrendered 10 officers and 120 men.
