Fourteenth Cavalry
MISSOURI
(3-YEARS)

Fourteenth Cavalry. -- Lieut.-Col., J. J. Gravelly, Majs., H.
B. Milks, Robert W. Fyan, G. I.. Robinson, John A. Payne.

This regiment was authorized by an order from the war
department in the fall of 1864, and recruiting was at once
commenced from the reenlisted men of the Missouri state
militia. The organization was never completed, however, owing
to the suspension of the recruiting office.

Only about 200 of the militia were enrolled up to Feb. 1,
1865, when the war department directed the enlistment of
volunteers for one, two and three years, and Gen. Dodge,
commanding the department, authorized Col. Gravelly to
complete the regimental organization.

In April nine companies had been mustered in and were
stationed at St. Louis and Springfield on garrison duty.
Subsequently these companies were ordered to report to Gen.
Sanborn for service against the Indians along the Santa Fe
road, but upon the abandonment of the expedition the regiment
was returned to Fort Leavenworth, Kan., where it was mustered
out on Oct. 26, 1865.
