The Athens Post – 12 July 1861

This company, John M. Bridgeman, Captain, reached Camp Cummings, Knoxville, on Friday. Sequatchie Valley has the honor of furnishing the finest Cavalry Company that has yet entered the service. We have the pleasure of an acquaintance with most of the officers and members, and will go bail that if they are put at the right place they will not be long in giving the enemy a taste of their capacity. The name, “Tulloss Rangers,” is in compliment of Col James A. Tulloss, of Pikeville, for his liberal aid in money and other respects in behalf of the Company. The Company is handsomely uniformed, at an expense of some fifteen hundred dollars, contributed by a few patriotic citizens of Bledsoe. Below is a list of the officers and privates.
