1 Iowa Cavalry

The 1st Iowa Cavalry was the first Regiment of 3 year volunteer cavalry accepted into the Union forces. The recruits owned their own horses and equipment. This regiment was involved in a multitude of expeditions, battles, skirmishes in Missouri and Arkansas as well as campaigns against Quantrills guerrilla forces.Near the end of their service they were assigned to a brigade headed by Gen.George A. Custer. According to the adjutant in 1867 who compiled the history of the unit, General Custer of the regular Army was "utterly unfit for the command of volunteers, under the conditions that existed at the close of hostilities. He lacked the essential qualifications—kindness of heart, tact and good judgment of human nature—which would have enabled him to enforce a proper degree of discipline, and, at the same time, have secured the respect and attachment instead of the cordial hatred of the men under his command." The unit served under Custer in Texas until discharge. (Info from "The Union Army" published 1908.)
