to John L. Beveridge, then Major in the Eighth Illinois Cavalry, who assumed the work of recruitment and organization, and opened the rendezvous November 15, 1863. Eight companies were mustered in Jan. 22, 1864. Four other companies were mustered in and the organization of the Regiment completed, February 12, 1864. The Regiment was sent to Jefferson Barracks, Missouri, where 1100 sets of horse equipments were received. From there it moved to Alton, Illinois, and relieved the Thirteenth Illincis Cavalry in guarding the Military Prison at that place. Early in June following, the First Battalion was ordered to St. Louis, and the Second Battalion followed immediately. Both being tully mounted were ordered at once to North Missouri District. The First Battalion, Lieutenant Colonel Dennis J. Hynes commanding, proceeded to St. Joseph, Missouri, where the com- manding officer reported in person to General Fisk, commanding District of North Missouri. The Second Battalion, Major Lucius C. Matlack commanding, was assigned by General C. B. Fisk to the post of Glasgow, Missouri. From this period, for four months, the three battalions were separate and remote from each other, and so extended were their movements, that it is impossible to follow them in this brief sketch. They seem to have been all over Missouri after Price's and Jeff. Thompson's Guerilla Bands, following them into Kansas and Arkan- sas, doing most efficient service.
