Our company went from Walker County, Alabama to Moulton, Alabama and was mustered into the Regular service as Company "B" 10th, Alabama Cavalry, C.S.A. in October or November 1863. The Colonel of our Regiment was Richard O. Pickett. Our Lt. Colonel was Robert Powell. Our Quarter Master was John Allen. Our Regiment went from Moulton to Dalton, Georgia and joined the Army commanded at that time by Colonel Joseph E. Johnson. In May 1864, our Regiment was ordered to North Alabama to repel General Long's Federal Cavalry raid. We went from there to Tishamingo Creek, or Brice's Cross Roads, where we whipped fifteen thousand Yankees with five thousand men. General Forrest was in command. General B. D. Roddy was our Brigadier General. A few days later we engaged General Smith's army and drove him back to Atlanta and engaged in a battle at Newnam, Georgia. From then on we continued actively in the service until the surrender. We and each of us have absolute personal knowledge that the said A. J. Nelson was continuously in service from the time of his enlistment until he was paroled near Montgomery, in April 1885, and that he never deserted or took the oath of allegiance to the United States until after his parole. Added handwritten note; In February 1865, our company was transferred to 5th Alabama Cavalry commanded by Josiah Patterson.
