Hello,

The book says they were initially attached to the 7th Ala. Infantry, and were armed with sabres and Colt Navy pistols. In April or May of 1863, the company was finally assigned to a Cav. regiment, and from then on was known as Co."H", James H. Hagood's 3rd Ala. Cav., Gen Wm. Allen's Brigade, Gen. Joe Wheeler's Cav. Corps.(later Joe Robins of Wilcox was commissioned Colonel of the Regiment). At this time it says; "Our arms consisted of pistols and clumsy muskets. sabres were abandoned as a useless weapon to carry with Enfield "Artillery." The company was also reorganized with the following changes:
1. James M. Hill, Captain.
2. Wilbur F. Mims, 1st Lt(later Capt.).
3. Robt.M.Mims, 2nd Lt.
4. Robt.M.Moncrief, 2nd Lt..
5. Shadrach Mims, 3rd. Lt..
