The Eleventh Cavalry was organized at Kalamazoo, under Col. Simeon B. Brown, and left for Lexington, Ky., Aug. 13, 1863. Having passed through the ordinary camp life, it was ordered to participate in the action of Pound Gap, Ky., May 17, 1864. Like the other Michigan regiments, its conduct was admirable, yet was only an introduction to the series of brilliant achievements which attended it during the following 59 encounters with the rebels. Its military career may be said to have closed with the action at An- derson Court-House, S. C., May 2, 1865. The regiment was consolidated with the Eighth Cavalry, July 20, 1865, and was dis- banded at Jackson with that organization in October 1865.
