FIRST REGIMENT OF MOUNTED RIFLES.
After the action at Big Bethel, Va., June io, 1861, Major-General Butler authorized
Capt. Judson Kilpatrick, 5th N. Y. Volunteer Infantry, to organize a squadron of cavalry
for duty in General Butler s Department. This authority was approved by the Secretary
of War and Companies A and B were accordingly organized at New York city. Later in
1861 Capt. C. C. Dodge received permission from the War Department to raise two more
companies to form a battalion, and Companies C and D were accordingly organized at
Newburgh with the consent of the State authorities, and Captain Dodge was appointed Major.
In the summer of 1862 the Governor of the State authorized Major Dodge to organize
sufficient companies to raise the battalion to a regiment and appointed him Colonel of the
same, and Companies E, F, G, H, I, K, L and M were accordingly organized at New
York city.
The companies were mustered in the service of the United States for three years: at
Fort Monroe, Va., A and B, July 30, 1861 ; at Newburgh C and D September 18 and
October 16, 1861, respectively; at New York city E, F, G and H in June, July and August,
1862; and I, K, L and M in August and September, 1862. July 17, 1864, 270 men of the
i6th N. Y. Volunteer Artillery, who had volunteered to serve with the regiment, were
transferred to it. At the expiration of their term of service the men of Companies A, B,
C and D, entitled thereto, were discharged and the companies continued in the service.
July 21, 1865, the regiment, commanded by Col. Edwin V. Sumner, was consolidated at
Fredericksburg, Va., into a battalion of seven companies, the men of Company B being
transferred to Companies E and G; those of F to A; of H to K; of I to M, and of L
to D ; leaving in existence Companies A, C, D, E, G, K and M, and the reorganization
of the regiment was completed by the transfer of the 3d N. Y. Volunteer Cavalry, con
solidated into five companies, as Companies B, F, H, I and L to the same.
The companies were recruited principally: A and B at New York city; C and D
First and Second Cavalry Companies, Tenth Legion at Monticello, Grahamville, Falls-
burgh, Clayville, Middletown, Ellenville and Newburgh ; E at Troy, Albany, Fort Edward,
Salem, Schenectady and New York city; F at Troy, Buffalo and New York city; G at

city; K at Buffalo, Charlton, Livonia, Richmond, Springwater, Victor and New York city;

The companies left the State, A and B in July, 1861 ; C and D December 6, 1861 ;
E, F, G and H in August, 1862; I, K, L and M September 19, 1862, and served in the

1865. Companies H and D served with the loth Corps from June, 1864; with the i8th
Corps from August, 1864.
September 6, 1865, the regiment received the designation, 4th Provisional Regiment,
