BRIEF HISTORY OF 10Th U. S.
Organized by Order Of President, May
4, 1861, and Made Up Wholly
Of Volunteers.

In response TO a request for a brief
history Of the Twentieth U. s., the Ma
tional Tribune makes the following re-
ply:
The Twentieth U. s. was organized
by order of the president, May 4, 1861,
as the Second battalion OF the Elev-
enth u. S. II remained parl OF the
Eleventh u, S. during the war, and In
1866 was separated from that regi-
ment and completed as a separate
regiment At the time OF the reor-
ganization OF the Eleventh U. 8. into
a three-battalion regiment the COM
mander was Col. e. d. Keyes. II was
made up wholly of volunteers and OFF,
GERS appointed from civil life, the only
veteran at Fort Independence, where
It was organized, being orderly Ser
geant Parr Some sergeants from the
regular army were detailed to get the
men In shape, and who finally became
lieutenants. The Eleventh U. s. had
q very important part in all the bat
ties OF the Army of the Potomac. and
at the conclusion of the war was sta
toned at Richmond, Va, under the i'm
mediate command of its major, Thorn
as II. Neill brevet brigadier general.
The first field officers of the regiment
were Col. Frederick Steele, Lieut. Col.
Louis d. Watkins and Maj. Thomas II.
Neill, These we're all generals in the
volunteer army The captains had
also attained high rank during the
war, and included such men as Gen.
A s. Webb, Charles S. Russell,
Charles c. Pomeroy and John c.
Bates The regiment remained in
Richmond, pRtrolling the city and act
ing as police for the preservation OF
order and property. In 1867 1t was
transferred to Baton Rouge La, and
then distributed to various posts in
that state, where 1t remained for two
years on reconstruction duty Lieu
tenant Colonel Watkins commanded
the regiment until his death, March
20, 1868, and was succeeded by Lieuten-
ant Colonel George Sykes. In 1859 the
regiment was transferred to the de-
partment Of Dakota, with headquar
ters at Fort Smelling Minn. II had
troublous times in keeping the Sioux in
order, and in 1877 was transferred to
the department of Texas, with Colonel
Sykes establishing headquarters at
Fort Brown. Colonel Sykes died at
Fort Brown, February S, 1880, and
was succeeded by Col Etwell S. Otis.
In 1881 the regiment was transferred
to the department of the Missouri,
with headquarters at Fort Leaven-
worth. In 1885 the regiment was re-
turned to the department Of Dakota,
with headquarters at Bismarck. In
1891 company l, which had been dis
banded was re-established as an In.
dian company, and filled up with en-
listments from the Sioux, Gros Ven
tres and Assiniboines. This expert
ment proved unsuccessful, and the In.
dian company was eventually dis
charged, The regiment is now COM
manded by Col. James A. Irons, Lieut.
Col Arthur C. Ducat and Majors VIII

and Frank D. Webster.
