2nd Cavalry Regiment was organized at Springfield, Missouri, during the late fall of 1861
as a battalion. It crossed the Mississippi River with about 600 men and reached full strength at
Memphis, Tennessee, early in 1862. Some of the men were recruited in Cooper, Jackson, and
Henry counties. The unit fought at Iuka, skirmished in Mississippi, and in
October, 1863, totalled about 250 effectives. Assigned to Chalmers' and R. McCullcoh's
Brigade, it continued the fight in Mississippi, Tennessee, and Alabama. Many were captured at
Selma and few surrendered with
the Department of Alabama, Mississippi, and East Louisiana. The field officers were Colonel
Robert McCulloch, Lieutenant Colonels Samuel M. Hyams and Robert A. McCulloch, and
Majors William M. Couzens and John J. Smith.
