In late 1864 the 46th was merged into the VA 26th Cavalry Regiment. There is a regimental history on the 26th available from H.E. Howard Company.

There were more than 500 units (Regiments / Battalions / Squadrons) formed in Virginia for service. Some of these have been memorialized in the Virginia Regimentals published by H. E. Howard Company.

We have republished several dozen first hand accounts which are listed in Our Catalog.
