Roster — Company K, Fifth Infantry (Florida — Confederate)
Military Units from Florida > Fifth Infantry (Confederate) > Company K "Dixie Yeomen" (previously Captain Gardner's Company)
Leon County's "Dixie Yeomen" originated from the rich farmland found to the northeast of Tallahassee, roughly between Lake Iamonia and Lake Miccosukee. As its name would suggest, members of the company were mostly independent landowners of the middle class. However, some more wealthy men such as the Blakes of Miccosukee also accompanied the unit to Virginia. Its first commander was Captain Richmond N. Gardner, a physician who had attended the University of Virginia Medical School. The company fought in all of the major engagements in the Eastern Theater. At Appomattox, the 'Yeomen surrendered just six men.
