Little Fork Ranger

In May of 1861, the Little Fork Rangers from Culpeper County, Virginia mobilized into Company D of the 4th Virginia Calvary. Also known as the Black Horse Calvary, their primary objective was to guard and maintain the supply lines from the Rappahannock River.

 

The Black Horse Calvary still rides today, participating in Civil War reenactments in Virginia and Pennsylvania.
