The 1st Alabama Cavalry,Company C, United States Volunteers is the premier Civil War dismounted cavalry reenactment unit in Alabama.  We strive to keep the memory of the Unionist movement in North Alabama and honor the hereos who served The Old Flag by fighting to preserve the Union during the Civil War.
It is with great sadness that I announce the passing of Glenda McWhirter Todd. She passed away on September 3, 2017 surrounded by her family. She was a historian, genealogist, and author who prided herself on being a descendant of Andrew Ferrier McWhirter of the 1st Alabama Cavalry, USV. Her work over the past two decades and her dedication to the 1st Alabama Cavalry has created a legacy that will last for years to come.

Her life's work has touched thousands of people through the years, and I am glad that I had the pleasure to work with her as long as I did. My hope is that her work will live on for years to come to educate and inspire a new generation.
