HISTORICAL NOTES:
The cadets were from what was then known as the West Florida Seminary in Tallahassee, which became Florida State University.
Forty Nine cadets and 1 instructor from West Florida Seminary were engaged at Natural Bridge. They had 1 casualty, a cadet fell from the train enroute from Tallahassee and was killed. The cadets' participation, alongside other Confederate forces, was crucial in repelling the Union forces and preventing them from crossing the Natural Bridge on the St. Marks River. This success helped preserve Tallahassee as the only Confederate capital east of the Mississippi River not captured by the Union.
