HISTORICAL NOTES:
The Fourth Alabama Cavalry Battalion (Love's) was made up of three companies, "A", "B", and "C", organized from Alabama. This unit may have been formed as early as January, 1862.
Shortly after organization, this battalion was merged into the Jeff Davis Cavalry Legion. This legion included men from Mississippi, Georgia, and Alabama, but was known as a Mississippi unit.
