It was called the Florida 1st Infantry Regiment Reserves. It was organized from independent companies January 5, 1865 and surrendered at Tallahassee May 10, 1865. I wouldn't expect there to be many records about it. This late in the War record keeping was not of paramount interest and with defeat looming on the horizon, there was some belief the records would be used against the soldiers. The general expectation was that after surrendering, retaliation by the victorious North would be much greater than it turned out to be. Duke Vickrey --part0_911311836_boundary--
