I tried to include photos but was unable.
There is a plaque or marker at the University of AL
It is the Storrs Cadet Troop marker.
Marker is located to the right of the south entrance of the Amelia Gayle Gorgas Library building #1013 on the campus of the University of Alabama.

Also I have a newspaper clipping from 1931 about the capture of the Federal gunboats.
It is not as lengthy but gives more credit to "Forrest's Horse Marines."
I also have a 4 page article on the "Alabama Cadets of 1863."
