"A-Position of 63rd partially across the road." 4. "Map of Belfield Raid" 5. (Double page) "Map Showing Sites of Battles, Boydton Plank Road, Chamberlain Run and Five Forks" The Introduction to the piece is transcribed below: The Sixty-third Regiment, North Carolina Troops (Fifth Cavalry), was organized at Garysburg, N.C. in the early fall of 1862. It was composed of companies enlisted under the Partisan Ranger Act of the Confederate Congress. The act promised many special rights and privileges to the Ranges not the least of which was the clause saying that all property captured from the enemy became at once the private property of the captor. Most of the officers of the Sixty-third and many of the men had previously been in the army; thinking that the Ranger service would afford greater scope for individual exploit and consequent glory they had managed by one means or another to get a transfer. The field and staff officers were: Peter G. Evans, Colonel, Chatham county S.B. Evans, Lieutenant-Colonel, Goldsboro James H. McNeill, Major, Fayetteville, N>C. J. Turner Morehead, Adjutant, Greensboro, N.C. George Haigh, Sergeant-Major. The Captains of companies in order of seniority: Company C - Captain E.F. Shaw Company D - Captain John M. Galloway Company E - Captain J.R. Erwin Company F - Captain Thos. W. Harris Company G - Captain John B. McClennahan Company H - Captain William E. Booe Company I - Captain Nathaniel Rankin Company K - Captain J.E. Wharton Company B - Captain Roberts Compant A - Captain John McKellar Major McNeill had been Captain of Company A Moore's Roster makes several errors in regard to this regiment. Colonel Evans' old company is put down as Company B, of this regiment. It belonged to the Fifty-ninth, North Carolina (Fourth Cavalry). Moore puts S.B. Evans, Colonel; he was only Lieutenant-Colonel. Peter G. Evans was Colonel. Moore puts Captain Harris as Major and Colonel, and killed at Five Forks. Captain Harris was never promoted and never wounded nor killed. Additional topic headings include "Attack on Plymouth", "Ordered to Virginia", "Middleburg", "To Gettysburg and Back", "Return to Virginia", "Ground Squirrel Church", "Blacks and Whites", "North of the James", "Five Forks" which includes the following excerpt: "Five Forks 1 April, 1865, ended the fighting for us. It was the most ill-advised and murderous battle in which we ever engaged." Other topics: "Cavalry v. Infantry", "Confederate Cavalry v. Federal Cavalry" and "Military Equipment" which, very interesting included the following: The Confederate trooper had issued to him a saddle, a haversack, a canteen, a part of a bridle, an English car...
