Mr. Clardy said that in 1860, Iredell County had a population of 13,000 and 2,707 men
and boys joined the army, 597 of whom died during the war. He stated that on a per capita basis

us. Clardy said that in conjunction with the event, visitors would be encouraged to visit nearby
historic places such as the Vance House, Fort Dobbs, and the Iredell Museum of Arts and
Heritage Historic site. In addition, Clardy said on May 2 and 3, a replica of the submarine H.L.
Hunley would be on display at the depot. He said there had already been many requests from the
schools, ROTC groups, and others for tours of the submarine exhibit.
