An officer of the 1st Maine (Cav), after the surrender, speaking of
his regiment, made the proud boast that it was never driven from the field
of battle but once during the war, but said he: "...we consider that
no disgrace or reflection, for it was done by the 1st NC Cav". At the battle of Sharpsburg the picket line of the 1st NC Cav. was
the last troops to be withdrawn from the battlefield. A commission in the 1st NC Cav. means "a hole in your hide!"
