Life of Turner Ashby

"Having entered the service of Virginia on the 19th day of April, 1861, as captain of a company of cavalry, Ashby rose by rapid promotion to the rank of brigadier-general, being in command of all the cavalry in the Army of the Valley at the time of his death, June 6, 1862. In less than fourteen months he had reached a post of distinction that has given him a noteworthy place in the history of his state and established his fame as one of the heroic characters of his time."--Preface.
