20th Cavalry Regiment, recruited in Hill County, Texas, was organized during the spring of 1862
with about 850 officers and men. The unit was assigned to Cooper's and Gano's Brigade, Trans-Mississippi Department, and primarily confronted the Federals in the Indian Territory. It was
included in the surrender of the Indian Troops at Doaksville on June 23, 1865. The field officers
were Colonel Thomas C. Bass, Lieutenant Colonels Andrew J. Fowler and T.D. Taliaferro, and
Majors Dempsey W. Broughton and John R. Johnson.
