Notes

  1. ^ Breckinridge commanded the First and Second Divisions of the Army of the Valley, while the others reported directly to Early. Since the Valley District was itself the Second Corps of the Army of Northern Virginia it is inaccurate to refer to these two divisions as a "corps", however much it functioned like one.
  2. ^ Davant had been captured at Spotslyvania, only to be exchange on June 25th and returned to service.
  3. ^ After the deaths of Col John Lamar and Ltc James Van Valkenburg at the Battle of Monocacy, Sharp commanded the regiment; it would later be merged with the 60th Georgia Infantry.
  4. ^ Patchan, Scott C. "Shenandoah Summer: THe 1864 Valley Campaign". Pg. 191, 331-332. The commander of Steuart's Old Brigade is often listed as Peter Yancy, though this has to be confusion with Captain William B. Yancy of the 10th Virginia; Patchan refers to William B. Yancy commanding this unit on pg. 191, but in the Order of Battle on page 331, he labels the commander as Peter Yancy.
