April 5, 1861; Tri-Weekly Alamo Express (San Antonio)
The last of the 2nd Cavalry, consisting of two companies, under command of Capt. Johnson, passed through our city this morning, Friday, on their way to the coast. They were accompanied by a fine brass band. The people cheered them lustily thro’ the city and accompanied them to the suburbs, where an American flag was presented to Capt. Johnson.
