Here's the story on Bacot's "Pope Walker Rangers," an Alabama company from Wilcox and Monroe Counties --

This company mustered at Montgomery, Ala., Sept. 14, 1861. After serving as Company "B" of Forrest's Cavalry Regiment, Captain Bacot commanded an independent battalion which included four Alabama companies from Forrest’s Regiment. On November 23, 1862, members became Company “A”, Russell’s 4th Alabama Cavalry Regiment.
