Company K (1st Virginia) "River Rangers"
CAPT. E S YANCEY
The company was accepted in state service at McGaheysville, Rockingham County, Virginia, on 28 May, 1861, and was ordered to Harpers Ferry, Jefferson County, Virginia, on 29 May, 1861. The reality of living and fighting in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia instilled great pride in the 1st who were literally fighting in their backyards for family and home.

You can learn this and more every Sunday night at drill at 7 EST. The 1st doesn't march around in pretty lines, we train to be effective out on the field of battle. If this interests you search this thread to get enlisted now!

Informative video by the great Dennis Frye, former chief historian at Harpers Ferry National Historical Park, as he speaks on the moral issue faced in Jefferson County, WV as it struggled to know what to do with Confederate dead after the Battle of Antietam. Our 1st Virginia Cavalry, Co. F was raised in Shepherdstown and was squarely in the middle of these divides.

You can march and get foot-sore, or you can get one of these. The 1st Virginia Cavalry will get you there faster.
