During the years that interviewed between
the war with Mexico and the civil war the
regiment was stationed In the far west and
was given hard service against the Indians
The various companies were scattered over
that vast region that was at that time prac-
tically unknown. Parts of the organization
served in California, Texas Utah. New
Mexico and Kansas. The individual history
OF the various troops will show reports Of
engagements in almost every section Of the
west. The regiment was made a Dragon
regiment again in the nfties. and shortly
thereafter two more cavalry regiments
were organized and equipped and known as
the LIST and I'd Regiments of Cavalry. The
ID Regiment was commanded by Col. Rob-

In 1865. after the close of the war, the
regiment was presented with a handsome
silk standard, on which were embroidered
the names of all the battles in which the
organization had participated, from its first
campaign In Florida to the end of the civil

After their second campaign in Florida
the regiment was divided and part was
stationed at Fort Jesup and part at Baton
Rouge. In the early summer of 1912 an
economical streak was developed in Con-
gress and the army was the first portion
of the government service to feel the we ght
of congressional disapprobation. For even
at that time the members of Congress had
established the time-worn rule, When In

proposition was advanced to disband the
I'd Regiment of Dragons. A howl of in
dignation went up from all parts of the
country. This regiment had been organ
lied less than ten years, but In that time
it had seen service that even veteran or
carnations OF this day and time would
envy. 1t had helped to maintain the honor
and glory of the American arms and had
delivered vast portion of the most beauti-
full and fertile region of the country from
the hands of the savage. Its battle flags
had futtered over many hardfought fields
and its men had suffered the hardships of
disease-laden climate. The bill dsba nding
the regiment was passed by the House, but
was rejected by the Senate and compro-
mise finally effected whereby the dra-
COON regiment became "riflemen'' and were
dismounted. AS rifiemen they were sta

regiment is now known as the 4th Cavalry,
the regimental designation having never
been changed since the war
The Civil War.
At the commencement of the war of the
rebellion there was probably no regiment
in the service that was scattered over SO
much country as was the I'd Cavalry. Its
old colonel was IN command of the section
of the army stationed in Texas and it's vari-
Gus troops were stationed in every section
of the west. They worked their way east,
fighting as they came. That part which
was farthest west participated in some OF
the battles with the army in the west and
that part nearest the east arrived in this
section Of the country in time to participate
in the bal..>a fought here. Thus part of
the regiment was engaged with the confed-
crate forces at Wilson's Creek, Mo, said
by some historians to be the first battle of
the war, and another part of the regiment
took part in the peninsular campaign. The
regiment was brought together by 1868,
however, and from then on to the close of
the war fought as a whole. Its flag bears
the titles of thirty-two pitched battles in
which it participated. and the records of
the War Department show the names of
numerous officers who rendered themselves
conspicuous for their gallantry. Gen. AL
fred Pleasanton of this city. one of the
most distinguished cavalry leaders Of the
war, was an officer of the I'd, so also was
Generals Cooke, Harvey, T. J. Wood, l. N.
Palmer, Sumner l.. P. Graham, Frank
Wheaton, Blake. s. H. Starr and John
Green. Major General Buford, one of the
best known Of the Union leaders of the war,
was an officer Of the I'd Cavalry; SO was
Maj. Gen Wesley Merritt. Gen. Rufus In
gals, Colonel Noyes, Colonel Cakes. Gen
eral Stanley, Gen. g. D. Sturgis and Gen.
D. B. Sackett, for many years the head of
one of the staff departments of the army.
Probably the most distinguished cavalry
officer who attained general rank from this
regiment was Maj Gen. D. NIGH. Gregg,
the officer who fought Stuart in Maryland
and Pennsylvania, at the battle of Gettys-
burg, and was later captured by the con
federate leader in Virginia.
In the Confederate Service.
But the I'd Cavalry did not confine itself
to furnishing general officers to the Union
forces Hardee, the author of the tactics
used by the army for many years, and one
of the officers who had distinguished them
selves in Florida and Mexico, left the army
in 81 and took service with the confed-
eracy He rose to the rank of lieutenant
general in the southern service. May also
left the regiment and went with the south
