COMPANY "G"; 2nd LA. CAVALRY  REGIMENT. C.S.A. 
Originally formed as "McWaters Rangers", this independent  
company from Rapides Parish became Company "G" of the 2nd  
Louisiana Cavalry Regiment, C.S.A. in 1862. It's captain,  
James A. McWaters, became a Lt. Col. in the newly formed 
regiment. Ltc. McWaters was killed in action on January 14,  
1863, defending the gunboat "Cotton" on Bayou Teche. The  
Regiment fought under General Richard Taylor, and covered  
his rear during the retreat from Southwest Louisiana, and  
was his vanguard when he went back into the area. The Regiment 
fought dismounted at the Battle of Mansfield.  
 
The commander of Company G was Thomas J. Stafford, who resigned  
on April 28, 1865, just before final surrender. For the last  
few weeks of the War, the company was commanded by E.T. Lewis.
