This regiment, although mustered into the service as a
West Virginia
unit, was recruited mainly in
Ohio
. It was
organized August 1, 1861, in
Southern Ohio
by Colonel William M. Bolles.
Ohio
's Governor declined the muster of the
Regiment, stating he was under orders to commission no more cavalry. Application was made to Governor F.R. Pierpoint,
provisional Governor of the portion of
Virginia
now known as
West Virginia
. With the consent of the Secretary of War,
Pierpoint accepted the organization and ordered it into camp at
Parkersburg
. It was mustered as the Second Regiment of
Loyal Virginia Cavalry on November 8, 1861. The Regiment operated about Western Virginia until July 1864 when it moved
to the
Shenandoah Valley
. It fought at Kearnstown, Chambersburg, Opequan, Fisher's Hill, Cedar Creek, Five Forks, Sailor's
Creek, Appomattox Station and was at
Appomattox
during the surrender of the Confederate Army. The Regiment led the Army
of the Potomac in the Grand Review at
Washington
. It then travelled to
Wheeling
and was mustered out on the 4th of July 1865.
“The author of this work needs not to apologize for bringing it forth. He has put upon record a multitude of facts that might
have passed into oblivion, as far as the memory of man is concerned, had he not taken occasion to fix them on paper as
he himself remembered them, and as hundreds of others will attest, for the perusal of the future historian.
“The author of this book has made the various situations from 1861 to
1865 a careful study, and having been continually at the front during all that period, and having
been a close student of all
that was going on about him, he possesses a vantage ground from
which he can take abroad
survey of all the events of that period. Much of the time his opportunities for obtaining information
were of the best, and while it was his duty to serve with closed lips, his ear was alert for everything that would
tend to enlighten him upon what was going on.
“This volume will prove to be of great value to the student of the late war ; first, because no pains have been spared to
secure accuracy, and second, every form of exaggeration or laudation has been carefully excluded.”
