19th and 20th Virginia Cavalry by Richard L. Armstrong

This book is part of the Virginia Regimental Histories Series, published by H. E. Howard, Inc

The 19thth Virginia Cavalry was created in the spring of 1863 from men who had served in the 3rd Virginia State Line (disbanded in 1863). Colonel William L. Jackson was assigned to command the regiment. Colonel Jackson was a cousin of "Stonewall" Jackson, and was called "Mudwall" and "Brickwall." Most of the men in this regiment lived in Northwestern Virginia.

The 20th Virginia Cavalry was formed in the fall of 1863 and was commanded by Colonel W. W. Arnett. Both of these regiments served under Colonel Jackson as part of Jackson's Brigade, until the close of the war.

The book contains a textual history of the regiment from its organization until the close of the war. There are photographs of the veterans of the regiment. A roster of all the known (or suspected) members of the regiment is included.
