Official Records - 1st Alabama Cavalry, USV

It is with great sadness that I announce the passing of Glenda McWhirter Todd. She passed away on September 3, 2017 surrounded by her family. She was a historian, genealogist, and author who prided herself on being a descendant of Andrew Ferrier McWhirter of the 1st Alabama Cavalry, USV. Her work over the past two decades and her dedication to the 1st Alabama Cavalry has created a legacy that will last for years to come.

Her life's work has touched thousands of people through the years, and I am glad that I had the pleasure to work with her as long as I did. My hope is that her work will live on for years to come to educate and inspire a new generation.

Captain A. W. EDWARDS,

Acting Assistant Adjutant-General:

CAPTAIN: I have the honor to report that companies from this regiment yesterday went over into Texas Valley; could find no enemy nor hear of any more than twenty, supposed to be the Texans that range in that neighborhood. Lieutenant Snelling with his company went down the river road during the night some ten or eleven miles, and reports this morning he saw no force, nor could not hear of any having been there or crossed the river.

I am, very respectfully, your obedient servant,

F. L. CRAMER,
