My great-great grandfather was 1st Maine Cavalry, Company K, and was part of many battles, including Antietam, Brandy Station and Gettysburg. One of the hardest fighting cavalries during the Civil War. Not bad for a bunch of sea-faring men who had hardly ever ridden a horse.

It was probably a revelation to most Maine boys that a horse could be of any use w/o a plow tied on behind it. The undecisive nature of the 1st years of the Civil War are probably a reflection of the Union troops having to learn how to ride their horses.

@Smitheeboy94 That's what many of the original cavalry men thought when they first joined, only to realize how much work it actually was. Especially having to take care of their mounts before themselves.

Would anyone have any information on the 1st Maine Cavalry that captured Confederate flags/guidons? Thank you for any help.

There was only one original 1st Maine Cavalry. They captured several flags at Brandy Station, Aldie, St Mary's Church, etc - our web site is at: mainecav.org - there's more information there.

Your posting is one of my two favorite Civil War reenactment videos on YouTube; your pictures are so good they give me a chill. Looking at them makes me feel like I'm seeing real Federal cavalrymen in camp and in the field. Good job, guys!

Thank you very much - it's very kind of you to say that. The unit works hard to be it's best - we want those men of Maine to be pleased with how we represent them.

In answer to a couple of PMs - NO, we are not affiliated in any way with anyone calling themselves "1st Maine" in California.
