The regiment was recruited primarily in the counties of Hampshire, Hardy, Morgan, Berkeley, Frederick, Clarke, Shenandoah, Warren, Rockingham, Augusta, Allegheny and Henrico. It fought in the Shenandoah Valley.[1]
Virginia's 23rd Cavalry Regiment was organized in April, 1864, by consolidating seven companies of the 41st Battalion Virginia Cavalry and two companies of O'Ferrall's Battalion Virginia Cavalry. The unit served in Imboden's Brigade and was involved in various conflicts in the Shenandoah Valley. It disbanded during April, 1865. The field officers were Colonel Robert White, Lieutenant Colonel Charles T. O'Ferrall, and Major Fielding H. Calmese.
