Brief History
1st Regiment Partisan Rangers was formed during the summer of 1862 with about 1,000 men. Many were from San Augustine and Paris. The unit served in D. H. Cooper's, Major's, and Hardeman's Brigade in the Trans-Mississippi Department. It fought at Prairie Grove, skirmished in Louisiana, and fought in the conflicts at Mansfield and Pleasant Hill. Later it continued the fight in Louisiana and in May, 1865, disbanded. The field officers were Colonel Walter P. Lane, Lieutenant Colonel R. P. Crump, and Majors A. D. Burns and W.P. Saufley.

Companies in this Regiment with the Counties of Origin
Men often enlisted in a company recruited in the counties where they lived though not always. After many battles, companies might be combined because so many men were killed or wounded. However if you are unsure which company your ancestor was in, try the company recruited in his county first.
