He was a graduate of the University of North Carolina and during his lifetime held such occupations as teacher, lawyer, farmer, NC state senator in 1887 and Confederate soldier. On April 18, 1861, he enlisted as a Private in Company A of the 1st North Carolina Volunteers at Tarboro, NC and was quickly promoted to the rank of corporal. The 1st Volunteers was only a six-month regiment, and on March 1, 1862, Thorpe reenlisted in Nashville, North Carolina and was commissioned an officer in Company A of the 47th North Carolina. He was promoted from the rank of Lieutenant to Captain on June 25, 1862 after the death of Captain John W. Bryant. He held this position for the remainder of the war, surrendering at Appomattox on April 9, 1865. In the 1920s, he began gathering historical documentation of his old regiment which he eventually published as an official history of the regiment. He died on February 22, 1932 at the age of 91. Many years later Harry Turtledove found this book to be a very useful reference in writing The Guns of the South.
