These were the officers of the 7th Texas
Cavalry from Trinity County, Texas who led Company E as it started for
the Rio Grande with Sibley's Brigade in the Confederate Army's push to
wrest control of the Western United States from the Union Army in the Autumn
of 1861. In time the 7th Texas would turn to the eastern arena
and participate in many battles. In the East, in the heat and smoke of
fierce combat, it would emerge as one of the best mounted regiments in
the CSA, its Regimental Colonel promoted to the rank of Brig. General.
During the Civil War, many mounted regiments which began as cavalry were
often by command, unhorsed and made into infantry. Not so the 7th.
This regiment entered the war horsed and ended the war horsed because of
it's exemplary performance in the field. The 7th Texas Cavalry,
Company E represented Trinity County with
distinction and courage. We the descendants
of these 7th Texas, Trinity County horsemen are proud to remember
them with honor, always.
