\n

The Eighth Tennessee Cavalry was originally organized on \u2018November 24, 1862. For some reasons no longer clear, however, this original regimental organization was annulled by the Confederate War Department. Quickly reorganizing, the regiment was finally accepted into Confederate Service on January 23, 1863.<\/span><\/p>\n

As is in the case with most Tennessee cavalry units, a great deal of confusion exists regarding the proper identification of the unit. Throughout most of the regiment\u2019s career it was known as the Fourth Tennessee Cavalry. There were, however, two other Tennessee cavalry units bearing that designation. Numerous references to the regiment are found identifying it as the Fourth<\/span>(Baxter Smith\u2019s)\u00a0 Tennessee Cavalry.<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

More detailed information has been found on the various companies of the regiment. This material is shown below.<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Like almost all Civil War units the Eighth Tennessee Cavalry was often known by an alternate designation derived from the name of its commanding officer. Unofficial names of this type used by or for the regiment are shown below;<\/span><\/p>\n

Baxter Smith\u2019s Cavalry, Paul F. Anderson\u2019s Cavalry, Willis S. Bledsoe\u2019\u2019s Cavalry, James M. Phillips\u2019 Cavalry, James R. Lester\u2019s Cavalry, Samuel H. Glover\u2019s Cavalry, and James H. Britton\u2019s Cavalry.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>The regiment\u2019s original commanding officer, Baxter Smith, was captured along with four enlisted men while on patrol along the Caney Fork River in May 1863. Smith was held by Federal authorities, originally as a \u201cHighwayman\u201d but later as a prisoner of war, for almost all of the remainder of the war. Smith was finally exchanged in late February 1865, and placed in command of a brigade.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>The Eighth Tennessee Cavalry was assigned to duty in the Army of Tennessee upon being mustered into Confederate service. During the spring of 1864 it served in the Department of East Tennessee. Returning to the Army of Tennessee, the regiment served in that army until early in 1865. It then joined the Department of South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida. The unit returned to the Army of Tennessee in the spring of 1865. The list below identifies the specific higher command assignments of the regiment.<\/span><\/p>\n

No exact figures have been found showing how many members of the regiment were still with the unit when it finally surrendered. It is known, however, that in early February 1865, only about one hundred twenty- five individuals were still with the unit. There is no reason to believe that its strength increased over that figure during the last few months of the war.<\/span>
