- Overview:
-
9th Cavalry Regiment [also called 4th Mounted Rifles] was organized in December, 1862,
by consolidating Breckinridge's and Stoner's Kentucky Cavalry Battalions. The regiment served
in J.W. Grigsby's, J.S. Williams', and J.H. Lewis' Brigade, skirmished in Kentucky and
Tennessee, and fought in the Atlanta Campaign. It continued the
conflict by sharing in the defense of Savannah and the campaign of the Carolinas. A detachment
surrendered with the Army of Tennessee, but the main part of the unit escorted President Davis
southward and surrendered in May, 1865. Colonel William C.P. Breckinridge, Lieutenant
Colonel Robert G. Stoner, and Majors John P. Austin and William E. Jones were in command.
