A brief history of the Tenth Michigan Cavalry

The history records the organization, officers, and company structure of a volunteer cavalry regiment and traces its service from initial assembly through field operations. It describes training, supply shortages, illness, and arduous mountain marches to camps and garrison duty in Kentucky and Tennessee, noting engagements and expeditions in East and West Tennessee. The narrative is supplemented by a map of operations and portrait half-tones of officers, and it closes with reflections on hardships, logistics, minor skirmishes, and the regiment’s eventual mustering out.
