Lockett's City Guards?
Mon Feb 5 10:12:57 2001


The City Guards (or Lockett's City Guards) were an independent unit that fought at Selma (I believe?). The AL Archives classifies them as a "miscellaneous company" with multi-county or no locations known. Does anyone know anything about this unit, say when and where it was organized, what it's purpose was, or it's assignments, etc. The commander was, apparently, 1st Lt. L. J. Locket[t].

Any help appreciated.
