Crute, Units of the Confederate States Army, Olde Soldier Books, Gaithersburg, Md., 1987, has a little about the 15th Confederate Cavalry:

The 15th Confederate Cavalry Regiment was organized a Mobile, Alabama, early in 1864 by consolidating the five company 3rd Florida Cavalry Battalion and five Alabama independent cavalry companies. It served in Quarle's, Reynold's , Page's, I. W. Patton's, Liddell's, R. McCulloch's and H Maury's command. The regiment remained in the Mobile and Pensacola area, then moved to Louisiana, where it fought at Tunica. Returning to Mobile it guarded the approaches to the city. A setachment was captured in the fight at Claiborne on April 17, 1865, and the remaining force at Demopolis on April 30. Col. Henry Maury, Lt. Col. T. J. Myers and Majhor Robert H. Partridge were its field officers.
