Early in April, 1861, when our community was astir as to the important question of enlisting in some branch of military service in defense of our dear Southland, there appeared in our midst one Samuel D. Oliver from Robinson Springs, a neighboring town, urging the necessity of organizng a company of cavalry. His endeavors were richly rewarded by a ready response of the best citizens of town and vicinity. The work of a few days sufficed to secure a sufficient number to form the organization.......Capt. W.F. Mims, Co. H. Third Cavalry, Prattville Dragoons, Prattville, Autauga County, Alabama."
