of cadets from The University of Alabama and of patriotic young men from
Montgomery and vicinity; united with 7th Ala. Cav. Regt. as Co. F, July 22, 1863. First
stationed at Pollard and Mobile for coast defense, 1863-1864; in Oct. 1864 transferred

Gen. E. W. Rucker as escort, serving as such until that gallant officer was

invasion of Alabama; participated at Columbus, Ga., in the last battle of the war,

“The unconquerable tenacity, the brilliant valor of these boys, who faced and fought all odds,
until their ranks were cut to pieces, excited general notice and praise.” – Jordan’s Campaigns of Forrest, 1868
