Product Description
The 2nd North Carolina Cavalry fought its first major battle in its home state at New Bern on March 14 1862 and narrowly escaped with its men and reputation intact.

Lees cavalry in most major battles including Appomattox Court House on April 9 1865 with only a handful of men. This history covers not only the 2nd North Carolina Cavalrys accomplishments and failures but the events going on around them which influenced their actions and performance. The author pays particular attention to the 2nd North Carolinas involvement with the Army of Northern Virginia and the North Carolina Cavalry Brigade and includes official documents letters written to and from home diaries and memoirs to present the soldiers war experiences.
