Becoming a lawyer, he practiced at Bristol, Va. , until the beginning of hostilities in 1861, when he enlisted in the Confederate cavalry, and soon became noted as a fighter. Acting as scout, he guided General Stuart's force in a... bold raid in the rear of Gen. George B. McClellan's position on the Chickahominy, June 14, 1862. In Jan- uary, J 863, he crossed the Rappahannock into northern Virginia, which had been abandoned to the occupation of the National army, and recruited a force of irregular cavalry, with which he harassed the Fed- eral lines by cutting communications, destroying supply trains in the rear of invading armies, and capturing many cavalry outposts. In March, 1863, he routed a cavalry force much larger than his own, and a month later defeated a detachment sent especially to capture him.
