Was the Sharpshooter unit comprised of men of the 17th Alabama Infantry or was it a combination of elements of the 17th and other units? When was the 17th Alabama Sharpshooters formed? I know Moreland of the 17th Alabama Infantry was captain of the Sharpshooters. Who succeeded him as captain of Co. B, 17th Alabama Infantry?
