[Charles M.]

History of this little known, but apparently significant cavalry unit, in its contributions to the CSA's efforts during the Civil War. The unit suffered relatively few casualties during the war, but enjoyed many heroics!

I picked this up to research a possible ancestor in the War between the states (I don;t like using Civil War since no war is civil...lol)

A history of the Third Texas Cavalry during the American Civil War. The Third fought in some of the fiercest battles of the war. This unit history includes some rosters.
