UNIT HISTORY:
7th MISSOURI VOLUNTEER CAVALRY
Organized: 11/1/61
Mustered Out: Fall, 1864 Merged in 1st MO Cav.
SOLDIER: (7th)
Residence: Inf. Not Avail. Age: 26 yrs. (est.)

Mustered In: 12/31/61 Hudson City, OH
Discharged: 3/5/63
Highest Rank: Inf. Not Avail. .
REGIMENTAL HISTORY: (7th)
Although the roots of this 3 year western theater unit can be traced to 11/61, the regiment really started to come together in 2/62 with the consolidation of a battalion known as the “Black Hawk Cavalry” and Capt. Louis’ Company. Five days later Cos. A and B, mounted, and attached to the 22nd Inf., were added to the mix. Shortly thereafter, on 3/7, two unattached companies completed the regimental makeup. During the spring of 1862 the unit operated in John and adjoining counties within MO, engaging the enemy in various places. Part of the regiment was captured at Independence, but was paroled. September, ’62 saw the 7th ordered to Springfield and attached to the Army of the Frontier. It was subsequently engaged at Cane Hill and Prairie Grove, AR. The regiment then joined Union forces pursuing Confed. Gen. Maraduke’s men through Missouri and, during the advance on Little Rock, AR, saw action at Bayou Metro, Brownsville and other locations. In 1864 the 7th was stationed in the vicinity of Pine Bluff, AR. During that year it participated in the Camden Expedition. With most original recruits mustered out that fall, veteran volunteers (reenlistees) and new recruits were formed into five squadrons, then merged into the 1st MO Cav.
