4th Virginia Volunteer Infantry​

Regimental History​

The 4th Virginia was assembled in Winchester, Virginia in July of 1861.  The 4th had companies from the counties of Wythe, Montgomery, Pulaski, Smyth, Grayson and Rockbridge.  The 4th became part of the Stonewall Brigade and served under Generals T.J. Jackson, R.B. Garnett, Winder, Paxton, J.A. Walker and W. Terry.  The regiment fought at First Manassass, First Kernstown, and in Jackson's Valley Campaign.  It then participated in many conflicts of the Army of Northern Virginia from the Seven Days' Battles to Cold Harbor, was with Early in the Shenandoah Valley and saw action around Appomattox.  The unit reported 5 killed, 23 wounded and 48 missing at First Kernstown, took 317 effectives to Port Republic, had 7 killed and 25 wounded at Malvern Hill, and had 19 killed and 78 wounded of the 180 at Second Manassass.  Tis lost forty-eight percent of the 355 engaged at Chancellorsville and more than fifty percent of the 257 at Gettysburg.  The regiment surrendered with 7 officers and 38 men, 17 of which were armed.  At the First battle of Bull Run, Jackson reportedly ordered the 4th Virginia, "Reserve your fire until they come within 50 yards!  Then fire and give them the bayonet! And when you charge, yell like furies!" This is probably the first use of the Rebel Yell.​
