- Lot Description
CSA 6th Virginia Cavalry Regimental Account Books
Lot of 2 notebooks, one 8.5 x 12 in. with soft cloth cover, the other 9 x 11 in. with paper cover and cloth spine. Confederate regimental account books kept by Sergeant Rufus H. Owen, Company G, 6th Virginia Cavalry, documenting lost and captured equipment, ca April-December of 1863.
Inside the first is an index page listing the names of the enlisted men in Owen’s unit. The following pages are headed with the name and rank of each soldier, with a ledger kept below recording the dates and quantities of various supplies lost and captured, tallied in either the debit column (“ Dr ”) or credit column (“ Cr ”). Commonly listed items include cartridge boxes, clothing, pistols, saddles, bridles, and other tack equipment, with one loose paper scrap inventorying the number of captured and killed horses. Pages towards the end summarize broader categories, including “ A List of Clothing issued to the men, ” “ Discharged, Killed, and Dead members of Company (G) 6th Va Cavalry ,” an inventory of arms issued to the regiment, payroll, and any balances carried forward by members of the unit. Dates in this book span ca April—June, 1863.
The second book, titled “ Book B ” on first page, covers July through December and appears to have fewer entries for each soldier, though it is organized much in the same way as the first. End reports here capture information such as “ Property Return of Capt. R.H. Owen’s Co. G. ,” “ List of Horses Sent to the Pasture, November 1863 ,” and “ An Inventory of Ord. Stores in Co. (G ).”
The 6th Virginia Cavalry was organized in November of 1861 at Manassas and served with several brigades in the Army of Northern Virginia. It fought in Jackson’s Valley Campaign, as well as at Second Manassas, Brandy Station, Upperville, Fairfield, The Wilderness, Spotsylvania, and Cold Harbor. The regiment was also active in Early’s Shenandoah Valley operations and the Appomattox Campaign.Some pages removed, others loose, and many with staining/soiling and notations added at a later date. Pages of the second book uniformly stained along edges, consistent with moisture, though ink is undisturbed.Condition
