The Sixth Regiment of lowa Cavalry was organized under a special order of the War Department dated September 9. 1862. and the companies were ordered into quarters at Camp Hendershott, near Davenport. Iowa, where they were mustered into the service of the United States, by Captain H. B. Hendershott, of the Regular Army, on dates ranging from November 17. 1862, to March 5, 1863.

PAST AND PRESENT OF ALLAMAKEE COUNTY
To this regiment fell the duty of protecting the settlers on our northern frontier during the Sioux Indian outbreak then at its height, and the character of this service was such as to involve great hardship and suffering, particularly in the winter season. The regiment left camp at Davenport March 16, 1863, and made a long march across the State of Iowa, at a season when storms prevailed and the roads were bad, reaching Sioux City April 26th. Upon taking the field the regiment was divided, one battalion going to Fort Randall and the others serv- ing elsewhere until all were assembled at Fort Pierre, where General Sully estab- lished his base of supplies, having relieved General Cook. The expedition under General Sully started from Fort Pierre August 21, 1863, and on the 3d of Septem- ber the Indians were corralled and defeated at White Stone Hill, in which battle the Sixth Regiment had twenty-two killed and wounded. In the campaign of 1864 the hostile tribes were again encountered in force near the Little Missouri River, 200 miles west of Fort Rice, by an expedition under General Sully, and the Indians met with a decisive defeat in actions on July 28, and August 8 and 9, 1864. During the following winter the regiment was widely scattered ; and during the summer of 1865 the Indians remained comparatively quiet. The Sixth re- mained in the field however as a safeguard to the frontier, until replaced by troops from the Regular Army, when it was assembled at Sioux City and there mustered out October 17, 1865. The Sixth Iowa Cavalry spent more than two years and a half upon the northern frontier, a considerable part of the time en- gaged in active operations against a barbarous and treacherous foe. They endured great privations and displayed true heroism during this service; and the descend- ants of the pioneers throughout that region should hold in grateful remembrance the brave sons of lowa who went forth from their homes and drove the relentless savages from the scenes of their brutal massacres.

NINTHI CAVALRY
The Ninth Regiment of lowa Cavalry was organized under special order of the War Department dated September 7. 1863. and ordered into quarters at Daven- port, Jowa, where it was mustered into service November 30, 1863, by Lieut. Col. William N. Grier, United States Army. Shortly after it was ordered to St. Louis, Mo., where it at first occupied the old rebel "Camp Jackson," but soon after took up its quarters at Benton Barracks, and in the following April at Jefferson Barracks. Early in May, 1864. a detachment of the Ninth was sent to Hannibal and Palmyra to intercept the notorious guerilla Quantrell, after his infamous Lawrence Massacre, and succeeded in dispersing his band and cap- turing a number of them. Later in the same month the regiment was sent to Devall's Bluff, Arkansas, from which base it operated in detachments for scout- ing purposes, in which work its services were engaged for a great part of the time during the following year and a half or more, throughout the States of Arkansas and Missouri; the latter part of this period however being devoted to the sup- pression of lawlessness in the mountainous regions of Arkansas, during the at- tempts to restore civil government to this distracted section of the country. The various companies were mustered out at Little Rock, Arkansas, at different dates, Companies E and F being mustered out February 3. 1866. While the field of its operations was such that it was disappointed in participating in any of the great battles of the war, the Ninth performed with honor all the duties assigned
