Alabama and Coushatta Indians of Polk County were trained as
cavalrymen in 1861 by indian agent Robert R. Neyland as the
war between the states advanced in April 1862, nineteen
Alabama and Coushatta, including Chief John Scott, enlisted in
the confederate army as members of company G. 24th Texas
Cavalry. They trained in Hempstead, Texas and in Arkansas,
where their commander, General Thomas C. Hindman,
converted them to infantrymen after voicing displeasure with
the change from cavalry to infantry duties, they were permitted
to return to their Polk County homes to await further orders.
Following brief service in the confederate navy under
Galveston Bay Commander W. W. Hunter, they were
reorganized as a cavalry company in the 6th Brigade, 2nd Texas
infantry division. In 1864 the company roster listed 132 men.
Their primary job was to build and operate flat-bottomed boats
(scows) to transport farm produce and other supplies needed
by the confederacy down the Trinity River to the Port at Liberty,
Texas.
Official correspondence of wartime Texas governor Francis R.
Lubbock and Pendleton Murrah refer to the Alabama and
Coushatta Indians' loyalty in their role as confederate infantry,
cavalry and navy servicemen.
