MISSION STATEMENT



Pleasonton’s Cavalry Division is an association of Union cavalry regiments dedicated to providing a well-organized community which offers its members with a fun and immersive experience as to what the role of a cavalryman was like during the American Civil War. The Division prides itself on its historical accuracy which is represented with both it's drill and the regiments found within it's ranks. Pleasonton's Cavalry Division is only accepting regiments that were historically a part of it during the perilous days of the Maryland Campaign.

DIVISION HISTORY


Early in the war, most cavalry regiments were dispersed to be under the command of infantry formations, such as divisions or corps where their abilities were often wasted by being used merely as pickets, outposts, orderlies, guards for senior officers, and messengers. At the outbreak of the war knowing the vital role they would have; the Confederates were the first to consolidate their cavalry forces into a single division within the Army of Northern Virginia under the command of J.E.B. Stuart. While initially reluctant to form a large cavalry force, on September 2nd, 1862, Brigadier General Alfred Pleasonton was given command of all cavalry forces within the Army of the Potomac which he would organize into a single division for service during the Maryland Campaign.
