"H" Co. TX 19th Cavalry

There is very little in his service record file of two cards. He enlisted April 2/5, 1862 at Waco, Texas, age 22. Card one provides his physical description.

A cursory review of other records appear to reveal that very little muster records of his regiment survived the war to be recorded in the War Departments Compiled Service Records ca 1900.

i should believe you would want hard copies of his records which may be obtained through the service noted above.

I find very little on the history of the regiment other than:
