Â
“Alabama River Rangers” - (Company A - 13th Alabama)
This fine company left here on Sunday last for Virginia. They took the
steamer, Coquette, at Bridgeport, Alabama River, about 8 o’clock, p. m. The
company is one of the best that has yet left the state, and is well
officered. We have many warm friends amongst them, and hope to see them, all
return to their homes to enjoy that sweet peace which neither they nor their
country have ever broken.
Bridgeport Park is at Mileage mark 149.4 on the Alabama River which runs from Mobile Bay through to Montgomery. The River at this point is about 9 miles North of Camden
