Book excerpt: Excerpt from Roll of the Officers and Enlisted Men of the Third, Fourth, Eighteenth and Nineteenth Kansas Volunteers, 1861 The volunteer regiments of Kansas which were regularly mustered into the service of the United States - including the regiments of the Spanish and Philippine wars - number twenty-three. (in addition to these were two colored infantry regiments and four batteries of light artillery, one of the batteries being composed of colored men.) A printed record has been made of all the Kansas volunteer organiza tions except the Third, Fourth and Eighteenth Regiments. The Third and Fourth Kansas Regiments were organizations of mixed arms. Enrolled inxthe summer of 1861 and reorganized and consoli dated with other organizations in the Spring of 1862. The infantry companies were transferred, and formed what was thereafter known as the Tenth Kansas Volunteer Infantry; the cavalry companies were transferred to other cavalry organizations then being formed, and the artillery companies constituted the First Kansas Battery. I have deemed it proper even at this late day - forty years after the service was rendered - to prepare and secure the printing of distinctive rolls of these organizations, and give them a place among the records of the Kansas volunteers. The Eighteenth Kansas Cavalry was really but a battalion of four companies, mustered into the service of the United States on the 15th day of July, 1867, and serving four months against the hostile Indians along the western Kansas frontier. The rolls of the Eighteenth are also herewith submitted. The Nineteenth Kansas Cavalry was organized and mustered in on the 20th day of October, 1868. The service rendered was also on the frontier against the Indians. This regiment was mustered out on the 18th of April, 1869. The rolls of the Nineteenth Kansas Cavalry were printed in the Adjutant General's report of 1870, but that re port is now very rare, and it is but proper that a reprint be made. The rolls of the Nineteenth Regiment, hereafter submitted, are not a reprint of the edition of 1870, but are records newly compiled from the original muster-rolls of the regiment.
