James participated in the Civil War, enlisting in the First Potomac Home Brigade, Cole's Maryland Cavalry, Company A, on August 10, 1861 in Frederick, Maryland for a three year term of service. He was described as being a farmer from Loudoun County, Virginia, age 25, 6 feet 2 inches tall, dark complexion, dark eyes and hair. He enlisted at Middletown, Maryland by Captain Henry A. Cole, and held the rank of Corporal. On March 29, 1862, James was promoted from 3rd to 1st Corporal. On September 13, 1862 he was captured in Harper's Ferry during the preliminary attack of Maryland Heights and the Harper's/Bolivar area, when, on September 15, 1862, Stonewall Jackson invaded the Union Troops stationed in Harper's Ferry and captured. 12,000 prisoners, 47 pieces of artillery, 13,000 small arms, and a large quantity of supplies. Col. Miles and his staff made the decision to surrender at about 9:00 a.m. on that rainy, foggy morning and a 11:00 a.m. as a flag of truce was displayed, a shell fired from one of his own guns severely wounded Col. Miles and he died of that wound the next day. By his decision to surrender the Harper's Ferry/Bolivar area, and leaving the pontoon bridge in tact, he enabled Col. Jackson to put his army on the battlefield at Antietam at least eight hours sooner than might have otherwise have been possible. While all of this was going on, James was on his way to a prison camp in Annapolis, Maryland. On the monthly muster roll sheets, he was absent from June 30, 1862 - December 31, 1862 with the remarks: Paroled prisoner at Annapolis, MD. On March 3, 1863, James was promoted from 1st Corporal to Sergeant. Apparently for much of his enlistment, he used his own horse and equipment. As of August 13, 1863, James was absent from his company until October of that same year, as he was part of a recruiting campaign to recruit a battalion in the area which was comprised of the Potomac Home Brigade, Cole's Cavalry, and the Loudoun Rangers. The first effort had begun in the Spring of 1863 and had resumed that early fall after the battle of Gettysburg. James alone with Corporal James W. Grubb of Cole's Maryland Cavalry, began to recruit company D of the battalion, opening recruiting offices in Frederick, Maryland, where they enlisted about 30 men. In September companies B, C and D were ordered to Harper's Ferry. In the months of November and December of 1863, James was sick in the battalion hospital, and after his recovery he was ordered back to his old command, Company A, 1st Maryland Potomac Home Brigade Cavalry, by Captain Vernon of that company. On August 19, 1864, James was mustered out of his detachment at Harper's Ferry. The following information appears on his Muster Rolls:   1. Company - August 10, 1861 2.
