2nd Missouri Cavalry

Organization
Organized at Benton Barracks, Mo., by Captain Lewis Merrill, U.S. A., under authority of General Fremont, September 3 to December 11, 1861.
In the early days of the war the numerous demands for the acceptance of companies can scarcely be conceived. Applications, urged and endorsed by all possible influence from citizens of both political parties, became oppressive to the governor, and his inability to comply with their requests was not only a source of great disappointment to the applicants, but often brought censure upon the executive. As a result, many companies sought and obtained service in regiments of other states.
Two companies of cavalry took this course and entered the "Merrill Horse," a Missouri regiment. These companies were recruited at Battle Creek, Michigan, "H" by Captain J. H. Rogers, and "I" by Captain J. B. Mason, and both left the State on the 3d of September, 1861. In December, 1862, another company ("L") was organized at Battle Creek, Michigan by Captain Almon Preston, and took service in the regiment.
