At the close of the war, Col. Bulger returned to this native county, and located at Dadeville, where he at once commenced the study of law, and in March, 1866, was
admitted to the bar. He at once opened an office in Dadeville, and soon built up a lucrative practice remaining there until 1888, when he removed to Birmingham, Ala. where he has a large practice. He was elected to represent Tallapoosa county in the lower house in 1870, and served
one term.
Col. Bulger was married in December, 1866, to Miss Amanda Crabb, daughter of James B. Crabb, of McConough, Ga., and to this union were born ten children, of whom six now survive.
Col. Bulger's father is Michael J. Bulger, who is a native of South Carolina, born in Richland district, that state. He came to Alabama about 1820, locating in Tallapoosa county, where he now resides. He has served repeatedly in both houses of the Alabama legislature, and early in 1862, organized the Forty-seventh Alabama regiment, of which he was afterward made colonel, and served all through the war, receiving three wounds, while in service. He married Elizabeth M. Bozeman, a native of Alabama and to them were born four children, two of whom now survive, viz.: Col. W. D. Bulger of Birmingham, and Thomas L. Bulger of Tallapoosa county, Ala. ["Memorial Record of Alabama," Volume 2, published by Brant & Fuller in Madison, WI (1893), page 249]
