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.

HEADQUARTERS FIRST ALABAMA CAVALRY,September 24, 1864.

Captain A. W. EDWARDS,

Acting Assistant Adjutant-General:

CAPTAIN: I sent a scout out on the Alabama road to-day, one mile beyond Coosaville. They returned by way of river road. They saw nothing, neither could they hear of any force in that direction. I will picket the roads out three miles to night and in the morning send a scout up the Summerville road to look after the 300 men that White reports in that vicinity.

Very respectfully, your obedient servant,

G. L. GODFREY,

Lieutenant-Colonel First Alabama Cavalry.
