Sixth Cavalry. -- Col., Clark Wright: Lieut.-Cols., S. N.
Wood, T. A. Switzler; Majs., H. P. Hawkins, B. Montgomery.

Most of the companies of this regiment participated in the
battles of Carthage and Wilson's Creek as independent
organizations. These companies were afterward formed into
battalions, and did valiant service in the engagements at
Copridge's Mills, Wet Glaize, Salem and West Plains.

The three battalions were organized as a regiment on Feb. 14,
1862. Immediately after this part of the regiment marched
from Rolla in advance of Gen. Curtis, upon Springfield,
defeating the enemy at Marshfield, and drove the retreating
Confederates into Arkansas. Another portion was on duty at
Forsyth, Mo., until ordered to Springfield.

As a regiment it was foremost in the pursuit of the
Confederate forces under Coffee through Pineville, Neosho,
Carthage and Lone Jack, defeating them at Montevallo; was then
ordered to reinforce Gen. Blunt at Newtonia, where it arrived
during the battle, and covered the retreat of the Union troops
back to Mount Vernon.

On Dec. 25, 1862, it arrived at Milliken's bend, where it was
ordered to Chickasaw Bluffs and bore a part in the three days'
fight at that place, was next in the engagement at Arkansas
Post, and then joined Gen. Grant's army for the campaign
against Vicksburg.

It was in the battles of Champion's Hill, Big Black river and
Bridgeport, and after the fall of Vicksburg was in the
expedition to drive Gen. Johnston from Jackson, Miss., driving
the enemy all the way from Black River to Jackson, where it
charged the rifle-pits, but failed to carry them, suffering
some loss in killed and wounded.

It then returned to Vicksburg, and was soon afterward ordered
to New Orleans. In the operations in Louisiana it
participated in the actions at Morgan's bend, Atchafalaya
River, Bayou Teche, Vermillionville, Opelousas, and a number
of minor skirmishes. During part of this period a battalion
under Lieut.Col. Wood was in Arkansas, where it took part in
the battles of Oakland, Searcy, Cotton Plant, St. Charles
Bluff, Smith's landing and several lesser affairs.

Cos. B, C, F. G, H, I and K were mustered out at the
expiration of term in Dec., 1864, and Jan., 1865, and the
remaining battalion, consisting of Cos. A, D, E and L, was
mustered out on Sept. 12, 1865.
