Posted on: Jasper Co. Tx Bios Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Tx/JasperBios/4 Surname: Adams ------------------------- "A History of the 27th Texas Cavalry", by Bill Atwell. The 27th Texas Cavalry Regiment (also called the 1st Texas Legion or Whitfield's Legion) was organized during the spring of 1862 using Captain John W. Whitfield's 4th Texas Cavalry Battalion from Lavaca County as its nucleus. Whitfield was promoted to major and placed in command of this cavalry battalion. Whitfield's Legion took part in the Battle of Pea Ridge in Arkansas on March 6-8, 1862. After fighting at Elkhorn Tavern as a battalion, only 9 officers and 111 men were present. The unit moved east of the Mississippi river and was dismounted in mid-summer 1862. It fought in the engagement at Iuka, Mississippi on September 19, 1862 and in the Battle of Corinth in Mississippi on October 3-4, 1862. In the later part of 1862 the Legion was remounted and assigned to a brigade that later was to gain fame as Ross' Texas Cavalry Brigade. Besides Whitfield's 27th Texas Cavalry Regiment, Ross' Brigade consisted of the 3rd, the 6th, and the 8th Texas Cavalry Regiments. This brigade participated in the major military campaigns engaged in by the Army of Tennessee during 1863 and 1864. The 27th Texas Cavalry participated in more than 75 various types of engagements during its career. Several men from Jasper County served in Company E. of the 27th Texas Cavalry. (Gary Adams)
