Officially named the 8th Texas Cavalry Regiment, the rangers were always known as Terry's Texas Rangers, in part to honour the founder, Benjamin Franklin Terry, who died leading the first cavalry charge after the Texans had joined the Army of Tennessee.
Terry's Texas Rangers served in dozens of battles and raids throughout the war, first in Kentucky near Fort Donelson, and then with exceptional distinction at the epic battle of Shiloh, across Tennessee, Mississippi, Alabama and Georgia. The list of engagements includes Perryville, Murfreesboro, Chickamauga, Chattanooga, Atlanta and the Rangers lead the final charge of the Army of Tennessee at Bentonville.
