Record of Events
The history of the Valley Campaign is closely identified with the history of Co. "G".
The company was with General Early on the Maryland raid & engaged in all the skirmishes & fights in which the Nineteenth Regt. Va. Cavalry participated.
The company was with the Regt. while the Col. Wm. L. Jackson's Brigade with other Brigades under the command of Major Gen. Lomax wer [sic] operating in Luray Valley.
Captain Wm. L. Justice was badly wounded at Frederick City, Maryland, was brought out & after he had nearly recovered, got a furlough & went to his home through the lines. On his return he was captured & is now a prisoner of war.*
* Captured in Braxton/Brackston County, W. Va. October 7, 1864 and sent to Camp Chase, Nov. 29, 1864. He had received a 45 day furlough from Gen. Hosp., Staunton, Sept. 8, so, I suspect he was not with the regiment when captured.
