General Cabell wrote two articles for the Southern Historical Society Papers --

"Living Generals of the Confederate States Army," Vol. XX, p. 34-39. (A list of living generals, which he edited.)

"The Confederate States Flag," Vol. XXXI, p. 68-70. (A very interesting article about a meeting with Beauregard and Johnston to come up with a design for a Confederate battle-flag. Also a brief discussion of shoulder badges worn by some captured Union soldiers)
