 Tn January. 1872, the Montgomery Greys, which had been so shattered by the war, was reorganized and ineorpor- ated by acts of the Alabama Legisla- ture of 1873 and 1874. Since then the history of the company has been up to the same high standard set by Captain Hardaway and the heroes of the eos, Never has the company faltered when the call of duty was sounded--It an- swered promptly and went in full force to five riots.
