Elements of Faulkner's Twelfth Kentucky Cavalry, CSA, had previously existed as a partisan ranger unit. Faulkner himself had originally been a lieutenant of guides at Columbus, KY, under General Polk in the fall of 1861. By the evacuation of Columbus in late winter of 1862 Faulkner is a captain of an unattached company of cavalry. By the spring of 1862 Faulkner's increasing number of men under his command are acting as partisan rangers and doing whatever possible to destroy supplies of cotton and other materials that may be in danger of being captured by the Yankee hordes.
