Anyone know anything about this unit? It apparently had four companies, "A", "B", "C", and "D" (from the muster
rolls). According to Stewart Sifakis, it was organized on 8 June 1863, assigned to the Dept. of the Gulf, and then increased to a regiment and designated as the 15th Confederate Cavalry, on 24 Sept 1863. I get the idea that the four companies were either from Alabama or Florida.
