I have my Gr-Gr-Grandfather Pulliam in the 8th ( Ball's/Hatche's) AL Cavalry. In the notes it says " Because of the units assignment to the Conscript Bureau it took no part in engagements until 1865" I am not sure what taht means. Was this a recruiting regiment? The only other thing it mentions is that " duties were to attempt to enforce the Conscription acts in various Counties of the State." Any help would be appreciated. Bill TX
