Price until it retreated across the Arkansas into Texas, and then returned to headquarters at Fort Leavenworth. . . . During the remainder of the war, and until its final muster out at Fort Leavenworth, Sept. 23, 1865, the regiment was stationed by detachments at Forts Riley, Zarah, Ellsworth, Larned, and other posts, actively employed in holding the numerous bands of hostile Indians in subjection and in escort and scouting duty. Among its numerous skirmishes with Indians during this period may be mentioned Point of Rocks, Fort Larned and Cow Creek. The 2nd Col. established for itself a record of which it may well be proud. It was renowned for its bravery and dash, in which respects it was excelled by few, if any, regiments in the service. Like the 1st cavalry, its members were of exceptionally fine physique and were capable of great endurance. Sources Colorado State Archive, Denver, CO. |
