I am looking for information about the original Davis' Cavalry Battalion (Confederate), which was later merged into Baxter Smith's 4th (8th) Tennessee Cavalry Regiment. In particular, I am looking for accounts of the unit's activity between late September, 1862, to the end of January, 1863.
Does anyone know if there are separate, published works regarding Major J. R. Davis and this battalion? Any additional information or sources would be most appreciated.
