The 7^th Virginia Cavalry was formed early in the war and placed under the command of Colonel Angus W. McDonald. One of the company commanders was Turner Ashby, who later commanded the regiment and became a Brigadier General.

This book details the history of all 26 companies of the 7^th Virginia Cavalry from the time of their formation until the close of the war. In the spring of 1862, following the untimely death of Ashby, the regiment was divided into two regiments (7^th and 12^th Regiments) and a battalion (17^th, later the 11^th Regiment).

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.

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