Caswell Rangers

Caswell Rangers

This company, originally known as the "Caswell Rangers," was enlisted at Yanceyville, Caswell County, for twelve months service. The original recruits were principally from Caswell County. It was mustered into Confederate States service March 14, 1862, for three years or the war as "Captain H. W. Reinhartt's Company in the Edmondston's Battalion of Cavalry of North Carolina Volunteers." Edmondston's Battalion failed to complete its organization and was never recognized by the Confederate War Department. The activities of the company from the time of organization and muster-in until it was assigned to the 41st Regiment N. C. Troops (3rd Regiment N. C. Cavalry) on September 3, 1862, are not known. On that date it became Company C of that regiment, and the activities of the company after that date are reported as part of the regimental history.

The information contained in the following roster of the company was compiled principally from company muster rolls, which include the muster-in roll dated March 14, 1862, and muster rolls for the period April through October, 1864. No company muster rolls were found for the period from March, 1862, through March, 1864, or after October, 1864. Although there are no Roll of Honor records for this company, useful information was obtained from receipt rolls, medical records, prisoner of war records, and other primary records, supplemented by state pension applications, United Daughters of the Confederacy records, and postwar rosters and histories.
