[96] attached to Mabry's Brigade and formed part of Forrest's Cavalry Corps. Colonel Powers' and Colonel Griffith's Regiments were assigned to duty in east Louisiana and southwestern Mississippi. Colonel Gage was killed and Colonel Stockdale seriously wounded, as was Captain James M. Ferguson, adjutant, at Harrisburg, Miss.; where many of the best and bravest of the old commands gave up their lives.

The memory of their proud deeds cannot die,
They may go down to dust in bloody shrouds,
And sleep in nameless grave, but, for all time,
Foundlings of Fame are our beloved lost.


Richmond, VA. 1905.
