The 1st North Carolina Cavalry Regiment (1st NC Cav.) held a very honorable and distinguished record during the war. The gallant men of the 1st NC Cav. participated in more than one hundred and sixty engagements during the war, beginning with a skirmish at Hunters Creek, VA., 10 November, 1861 and ending at Appomattox Court House, VA., on the 9 of April, 1865. Although the 1st NC Cavalry was listed among the troops surrendered at Appomattox, it, like other cavalry units of the Army of Northern Virginia, managed to cut its way through the lines and escape, thus avoiding surrender, and disbanded several days later when it became clear that it would be impossible to reach General Joe Johnston's forces in North Carolina.

In April 1862, the Civil War was entering its second year and North Carolina was rallying to supply more troops for the Confederacy. The Partisan Ranger Act, passed by the Confederate Congress on April 21, prompted local leaders to recruit companies of irregular soldiers for service in the Confederate Army. Seven such companies were banded together into a regiment to form the 4th North Carolina Cavalry: a true cross-section of North Carolina, it contained soldiers from the largest urban areas and smallest rural areas from fifteen counties. This history of the 4th North Carolina Cavalry is based largely on primary source material--the official records, letters, diaries and recollections of the soldiers. The 4th North Carolina saw action in North Carolina, Virginia, Maryland and Pennsylvania, and was a part of General Lee's Army of Northern Virginia. The roster comprises a large part of the book and provides biographical, genealogical and military information about each soldier.
