FOURTH INDEPENDENT CAVALRY BATTALION
(Six Months)

     Fourth Independent Cavalry Battalion. - Maj., Joseph T. 
Wheeler.  This battalion, composed of five companies, was or-
ganized at Cincinnati, from Aug. 3 to Sept. 21, 1863, to serve 
for six months.  It was mustered out by companies at different 
dates from Feb. 15 to March 14, 1864, by reason of expiration 
of term of service.  Many of the members re-enlisted in the 
13th cavalry, which was then organizing at Camp Chase.  Part of 
this battalion was in service during the Morgan raid, being 
subsequently sent to eastern Kentucky, where, although it par-
ticipated in no regular battles, it did good service in pro-
tecting the citizens from the raids of the guerrillas with 
which that region was infested.
