The Bloody Eighth
Company K was 1 of 10 units that made up the 8th Virginia Infantry, the company was made up of 109
men from Northern Fauquier and Eastern Rappahannock counties. The unit was mustered into service
on July 30, 1861 at Warrenton Va. The company was part of Pickett’s Division, Longstreet’s Corp, Army
