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.

CORINTH, October 15, 1863.

General OSTERHAUS,

Iuka:

All of Hurlbut's cavalry except the Alabama regiment are off with Hatch. Secure if practicable all the boats near Eastport, and get all ready for the railroad bridge at Bear Creek. I will send forward supplies to Iuka, and will have another division up with you as soon as I learn when Carr can return from La Grange. All my corps should be in by to-morrow night, when I will come forward.

W. T. SHERMAN,

Major-General.
