SKETCH OF THE SIXTH REGIMENT CAVALRY,

The recruiting and organization of this regiment was begun at Stanford, Kentucky, on the 8th day of September, 1S62.

When the regiment was organized Colonel J. Warren Grigsby, of Lincoln County, Ky, was made Colonel, Thomas W. Napier, of Lincoln County, Kentucky, Lieutenant Colonel, and William G. Bullitt, of Paducah, Major. The regimental staff was as follows: E. T. Rochester, Captain and A. Q. M, John S. Hughes, Lieutenant and A. C. S, J. W. Alcorn, Lieutenant and Adjutant, James W. Schooling, Sergeant and Major, John O'Neal, Quartermaster Sergeant, and Smith Hansford, Ordnance Sergeant. The Captains of the respective companies were (A) Robert D. Logan, (B) Thomas H. Shanks, (C) M. B. Perkins, (D) W. W. Cleaver, (E) W. S. Edwards, (F) William Campbell, (G) Thomas W. Gray, (H) B. E. Roberts, (I) Captain Jewett, (K) Captain Ireland.

The regiment was first assigned to the brigade of Brigadier General Buford and composed a part of that brigade from September, 1862, until March, 1863. While with that brigade it took part in the battle of Perryville and in various skirmishes incident to Bragg's retreat from Kentucky. It also actively participated in the battle of Murfreesboro. and for its conduct during that engagement received honorable mention from the brigade commander for gallantry and efficiency.

In the first days of March, 1863, Brigadier General Buford was assigned to the "Mississippi Department," and this regiment and the Fifth Kentucky Cavalry were then transferred to the command of Brigadier General John H. Morgan, with which it continued in service until nearly the whole of the regiment was captured during the last days of Morgan's Ohio raid. Soon after its assignment to Morgan's command the regiment took part in a severe engagement at Milton, Tennessee, in which Colonel Grigsby was severely wounded and Lieutenant Colonel Napier was so severely wounded that he was permanently disabled for active service.

When Morgan's command in the closing days of the Omo raid was nearing the Ohio River it was frequently, each day, attacked by commands of Ohio militia. The Sixth Kentucky was, on the 18th of July, assigned as the advance of the command and was frequently attacked that day both by mihtia and regular troops. In every instance, when attacked, it dispersed the enemy so quickly that the march of the rear of the column was not, at any time, seriously impeded. Colonel Grigsby, although suffering from the wounds which he had received at Milton, Tennessee, took active command oi the regiment that day. Morgan's command reached "Buffington Ford" of the Ohio River after night fall on the 18th day oi
