McRae's Battalion North Carolina Cavalry was organized as a result of the serious depredations being committed in western North Carolina in 1862 and early 1863.
McRae established his headquarters at Asheville, but most of his men were detached in small parties and sent to far southwestern North Carolina where their services were more urgently needed.
McRae also lamented that George Washington Kirk, now an official member of the Federal Army led a raid on Camp Vance less than a month after McRae's men were withdrawn from the western portion of the state.
