NINETEENTH REGIMENT.

(SECOND CAVALRY. )

By W.-A. GRAHAM, Caprain Company K.

This regiment, with the first eight regiments of infantry,
the Ninth North Carolina Regiment (First Cavalry), the
Tenth Regiment (First Artillery), and the Thirty-third Reg-
iment of infantry, comprised what was originally known as
“State Troops.” They enlisted “for the war,” and the officers,
both regimental and company, were appointed by the Goy-
ernor. The volunteers enlisted for twelve months (except
the Bethel Regiment—six months) ; their company officers
were elected by the “rank and file” of the company ; the field
officers by the commissioned officers of the companies of the
respective battalions and regiments. In 1862 the right to
elect company officers was given by law to the State Troops.
The horses for the privates were furnished by the State to the
First and Second Cavalry Regiments. The regiment, except
Company A, assembled at Kittrell’s Springs in August and
September, 1861.
