INDEPENDENT BATTALION CAVALRY.
This battalion was organized in July, 1864; originally commanded by Major E. A. C. Hatcli, and was better known as "Hatch's Battalion." Feeling the need of a body of cavalry organized especially for Indian warfare, the war depart- ment called Mr. Hatch to Washington for a con- ference upon the subject. On account of his long experience among the Indians, and known bravery and tact, he was solicited by the authorities to effect such an organization, and assume com- mand. The disinclination of Mr. Hatch to report to General Pope, then in command of the depart- ment, led to a conference between President Lincoln and Secretary Stanton, which resulted in the forming of the battalion as an independent command, with orders to report to the war de- partment direct. Mr. HIatch was given the privi- lege of selecting his own officers, which he did among men known by him to possess the requisite qualifications for such service.
The battalion was ordered to Pembina, D. T., in October, 1863, and to Fort Abercrombie, D. T., in May, 1864, where they were stationed until
mustered out ; mustered out by companies, from April to June, 1866. Ramsey county's represent- atives are principally in Co. A, although they are to be found in every company.

- CHAPTER XXXV.
THE BAR AND COURTS OF RAMSEY COUNTY.
Ramsey county is the lineal descendant of the county of St. Croix, which the territory of Min- nesota inherited from the territory of Wisconsin when the latter territory became a state of the Union. It is one of the original counties estab- lished by the first legislature which convened in the territory, and was created by act of October 27th, 1849. It has always been the leading coun- ty of the territory and state in population, wealth, commerce, and social influence, as well as con- taining the capitol of both territory and state, and since the admission of Minnesota into the Union, the circuit court of the United States has always been held at St. Paul, the principal city of the county. With all these elements of power and advantage, it is not surprising that the bar of Ramsey county, regarded collectively, has al- ways been the most prominent and influential of any in the commonwealth. From the earliest days in its history it has had inscribed upon its rolls the names of many men who would adorn the bar of any state, as well for learning and ability, as for high and honorable standing in the profession.
