HYATTsvILLE
Mr.. EDITOR Il send You the
roll of Company b lst Md. G.. s.
A, Cavalry. 1t occurred to me that
its publication, at this time, might
be perused with interest by many
of your readers. Company 'B' was
mustered into the Confederate Ar
my on September 10, 1862, at
Charlottesville, Va, for the war,
and as an Independent company. /
think on that date we mustered 96
privates. The roll which l here
with forward you is not the origi-
HaI ruiz Uub Iuc OuC WulCh was
called for the last time by Sergeant
Richard Deakins on the morning
of Gen. Lees surrender. 'B' con-
nany was the nucleus of the 1st
Md. Cavalry, G. S. A., and COM
manded by Lieut.. Col. Ridgley
Brown who was killed near Yellow
Tavern, in the same engagement
and not very far far from where the
illustrious Gen. j. K. b. Stuart
fell, in an engagement with Sheri-
dan. The history of this company
would make very interesting read
ing matter, as from the first day Of
its actual service until the last, yes,
the very last gun at Appomattox,
it was in the front. William Price,
of Washington, was killed an hour
or two after Gen. Lee had surren-
dered. The company under Col.
Geo. Dorsey's orders fired on an
approaching column of U. s. caval-
ry, they returned the fire and young
Price (son of William Price who
was Executive clerk of the U. S.
Senate prior to the wary fell pierced
through the heart. 1t is said that
he was the only one who was ex-
posed and his body received or s
bullets. Corporal Robert Carval
was the first man killed, and Price
the last. Lam in hopes that there
will be a good assemblage of the
old company at Richmond on the
30 of June and 1st and 2nd of July.
