Ninth Regiment Cavalry
Lieutenant Lockwood had but recently joined the regiment, but in every engagement displayed a bravery that could but win the admiration of the entire command. The sergeants and corporal were men of tried courage, and their loss will be much regretted. I know I express the feelings of every officer and man in our regiment, when I say that a heartfelt sympathy is extended to the families and friends of these unfortunate men."
This regiment, November 1, 1864, was serving with General Sherman's army, then engaged on the Atlanta campaign, and was in camp at Atlanta, Ga., employed on escort and picket duty, and various scouting expeditions.
