Ninth Regiment Cavalry
The regiment was ordered to the field in Kentucky, and under command of Colonel David left its rendezvous at Coldwater by detachments, respectively, on May 18th, 20th, and 25th, 1363, proceeding via Cincinnati to Covington, thence on June 4th to Hickman's Bridge, and June 12th was ordered via Mount Sterling in pursuit of Everett's guerrillas, who were overtaken at Triplett's Bridge, and completely routed with loss in prisoners. Returning next day via Mount Sterling, on the 25th it reached Hickman's Bridge. On the 27th it again resumed the march, entering on the campaign against Morgan, arriving at Stamford on the 28th, and on July 4th proceeded to Lebanon, skirmishing with Morgan's rear guard, and driving from that town his entire force, then on its way through Kentucky, on the contemplated raid into Indiana and Ohio.
