Virginia Civil War Soldiers Index A - K Surnames

By John C. Rigdon

Virginia's Confederate government fielded about 150,000 troops in the Civil War. They came from all economic and social levels, including some Unionists and former Unionists. However, at least 30,000 of these men were actually from other states. Most of these non-Virginians were from Maryland, whose government was controlled by Unionists during the war. Another 20,000 of these troops were from what would become the State of West Virginia in August 1863. Approximately 220 military units were formed in Virginia for service in the Civil War. H. E. Howard published histories on about 70 of these units beginning in 1984. Beyond this there are some 50 firsthand accounts available on various Virginia units.We have available Historical Sketch and Roster Volumes on 133 of these units.
