William Lewis Cabel, "Old Tige" graduated from West Point in 1850 and served primarily in the Quartermaster General's Office until the outbreak of the war, at which time he resigned and was promptly assigned by the CSA as Major and Chief Quartermaster to General Beauregard at Manassas. He later served on the staff of General J. E. Johnston, at which time he assisted these two officers in designing the Confederate battle flag. Transferred to the Trans-Mississippi under General Van Dorn, Cabell was of great service after the Battle of Elkhorn, when he ferried the latter's entire command to the eastern bank of the Mississippi River. Later, he was appointed brigadier general to rank from January 20, 1863. While in command of a brigade of cavalry under General Sterling Price, he was captured on a raid into Missouri in October 1864 and held prisoner until August 1865. (Image) (Image2) (All Images)
