The Second 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. The regiment was nearly decimated in the Gettysburg Campaign; but was rebuilt and later fought with Robert E. Lee's 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 Second North Carolina Cavalry's accomplishments and failures; but the events going on around them which influenced their actions and performance. The author pays particular attention to the Second North Carolina's 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.
