The 10th Cavalry was formed at Fort Leavenworth,
Kansas in 1866. Very high standards of recruitment were
set by the regiments' commander and Civil War hero Benjamin
Grierson. As a result, recruitment and organization of the
unit required slightly over one year. By the end of July
1867 eight companies of enlisted men had been recruited
from the Departments of Missouri, Arkansas, and the Platte.
