Very interesting, and a small world.  Winston Salem, of course, was/is the
home of the band of the 26th North Carolina Band, the only Confederate band
other than Virginia's own Stonewall brigade band to be immortalized in a
photo from the CW era.  And the 26th is the only Confederate band whose
complete set of band books survive.
