To date I have never seen or heard of a counterfeit/fake Trooper. At an early stage before the serial numbering, or they were shipped to non-U.S.markets. However a number of Troopers have been reported without serial numbers. In the charge they behaved most gallantly.According to Kershaw every Trooper 1007 sold in the U.S. It affords me no little pleasure to have an opportunity to recommend to your especial commendation the corps under my command. It is proper to say that Captain Evans (infantry), of Colonel kershaw's command, who came to my assistance, rendered material aid in getting out the guns. After being out the whole day of the battle and the entire night I arrived at Manassas, and hat the honor of delivering to his excellency the President of the Confederate States ten rifled guns, their caissons, and forty-six horses. Major Scott having lost or dismissed his command before I arrived. I again joined Major Scott and took charge of the cannon he had carried to Colonel Kernshaw's command, and was compelled to leave fourteen horses and five or six caissons for want of drives. I had but one trooper to four horses all of the others were driving the cannon and wagons. When I had exhausted my command both in numbers and physique, i left the creek and conducted the train to Manassas. I continued to work to work with the Blank Horse and Chesterfield Troop until five more pieces of cannon were hitched up, including the heavy 32-pounder and all the caissons, forges, &c. As soon as the cannon on this side of the creek were hitched up and placed in the road, Major Scott, without consulating me, marched off his command, carrying the guns with him. Assuming the command of the cavalry there I ordered them to dismouth, and sent Captain Payne to Colonel Kershaw, asking him to assist me. As soon as Kemper's battery ceased firing I advance, and found Major Scott, commanding Captain Davis' company, had proceeded to the bridge on Cub Creed. Mistaking Colonel Kershaw's command and Kemper's battery, who were in our rear, for the enemy, I withdrew my command and watched their movement until Kemper opened up the squadron I had started with and joined Colonel Kershaw. As we neared the woods a heavy volley of musketry was opened upon us, disabling four horses and slightly wounding two men. I obeyed this order as rapidly as possible, came up with the enemy, who were in wild confusion, charged and captured some twenty prisoners and several horses. Munford will follow, and cross the nearest ford and purpose the retreating enemy. I received the following order Colonel G. Three other independent companies afterwards joined my command.Ībout 5 p. There I placed by command under cover and was joined by a squadron of our regiment, composed of the Wise Troop, Captain Langhorne, and the Franklin Rangers, Captain Hale. For several hours this command remained under the fire of the enemy's guns we were than ordered to follow Colonel Radford's command to the battle-ground. GENERAL: I have the honor respectfully to report early the morning of the 21st Colonel Radford assigned me a squadron composed of the Black Horse Troop, Captain Payne, and the Chesterfield Troop, Captain Ball. Munford, Thirtieth Virginia Cavalry, commanding Squadron.
