THE COMANCHES:
A HISTORY OF
C. S. A.
Written by FRANK M. MYERS. Late Capt. Co. A, 35th Va. Cav.
BALTIMORE: KELLY, PIET & CO., PUBLISHERS, 174 and 176 Baltimore Street. 1871.
PREFACE.
Almost all the papers relating to the operations of the "Comanches," whether belonging to the field and staff or to company officers, were lost at the surrender of the army, in consequence of which I have been compelled to draw nearly all that is recorded from my own memory, assisted materially by Col. White, in the account of the "battle of Brandy Station," and of the raids in Fairfax and Loudoun in 1863.
To Mr. John O. Crown I am under obligations for the use of his MSS., giving an account of the operations in the autumn of 1862, and of the last winter of the war, and to Lieuts. J. R. Crown and E. J. Chiswell for much that is interesting in the history of Company B; to the former especially, for a report of his fight with Cole's battalion in Maryland, and of his capture by the same command in 1863.
The lists of killed and wounded for Company B were prepared by Lieut. Chiswell; for Company C, by Capt. Dowdell; for Company E, Lieut. Strickler, and for Company A, by myself.
From Company F, I regret exceedingly that I have not been able to obtain any information whatever.
