Since the troops commanded by Green L. Blythe were state troops, record keeping and availability of records is scarce. It appears that Blythe commanded a couple of different organizations: 1^st (Blythe's) Battalion Mississippi Cavalry Minutemen (also known as 2nd Regiment, Mississippi Partisan Rangers and 1st Regiment, Mississippi Cavalry State Troops) and a late war organization simply called Blythe's Battalion. All efforts have been made at distinguishing between these groups. Almost certainly the names of some that served under Blythe have been lost.

Green L. Blythe, of DeSoto County, was commissioned Major of the First Battalion of Cavalry, State troops (Minute Men) on 25 September, 1862. He was commissioned Colonel of the First Regiment Cavalry, State troops, 29 April, 1863. The companies of his command were to a considerable extent organized under the act of Congress authorizing partisan rangers. The command was sometimes referred to as the Second Regiment, Partisan Rangers. In 1864-65 Major Blythe was commanding a battalion of State troops, in which were included the following: Companies A & B, of Senatobia, then part of DeSoto County.

Below is a roster of men who served in Blythe's Battalion extracted from the Civil War Soldiers and Sailors System of the National Park Service. Because the same soldier was sometimes listed more than once due to variations in spelling his name, the total number given is inflated. The listing has not been changed because there is no way to determine where these spelling errors have occurred.
