My GG Grandfather who was 39-40 yrs old at the start of the war was briefly in the 3rd Ala Reserves. His muster card from the Natl Archives lists him as private in Comp B, from April 15 to Aug 31 1864. He was mustered in at Columbiana Al,..(his home), by LT WD Bulgar for remainder of the war.
Says he was "Absent at first on furlo from E.O. on app. for detail - Now without leave."
Sounds like he didn't like the army,.....He did have four sons in various Alabama units, though, including my G Grandfather.
Would love to share info,...there is precious little on this regiment
Thanks
