This document was obligingly furnished by General J. C. Kelton, Acting Adjutant and Inspector-General United States Army, Washington, D. C., being a copy of the original in his Department. A majority of the cavalry of the Army of Northern Virginia appear not to have been surrendered at Appomattox Courthouse. In a report of General Fitzhugh Lee, commanding the cavalry to General R. E. Lee, dated April 22, 1865, he states that Generals T. L. Rosser and T. T. Munford, commanding divisions, succeeded in cutting their way through the lines of the Federal Army, and "immediately made arrangements to continue the struggle," until the capitulation of General Johnston's army brought the convincing proof that a further resistance was useless. A printed order (No. 6), issued from near Lynchburg, Va., April 21,1865, to his command by General Munford - a copy of which is before the editor - glows with patriotic ardor and an undying spirit of resistance. General Munford, in a recent letter to the editor, states that though he was paroled about May 10, 1865, that his command were not surrendered, but were disbanded at Lynchburg and dispersed to their homes.

I estimate that the rosters below contain approximately 25% of the men who served in this regiment.
