"Moorman's 24th participated in what is thought to be the last engagement between two cavalry forces during the Civil War. It is also claimed by some to be the last Confederate victory (but I have found evidence that there was one more, in Texas). This was the engagement that occurred in Pickens County, Ala. (in a part that is now Greene County) along the Vienna to Tuscaloosa Road. There has been very little written about this engagement, and most sources ignore it altogether. However it was a rather large engagement, involving approximately 3,000 cavalrymen (counting both Union and Confederate). This is a large scale cavalry engagement, with important cavalry against cavalry engagements usually involving hundreds (not thousands) of men.

Wirt Adams' moved from Columbus, Miss. with his brigade (and possibly a second brigade) with 1,500 men to intercept Gen. Croxton's invading Union force, also of 1,500 men. Croxton had burned Tuscaloosa and was moving to cut the railroads in Mississippi. Forrest had charged Adams' with preventing this. And, he was successful in doing so. He routed Croxton's force for approximately 15 miles, before night fell. Croxton's threat to Mississippi failed.
