10th Regiment Cavalry
The regiment left its rendezvous December 1, 1863, in command of Colonel Foote, under orders to proceed to the field in Kentucky via Cincinnati to Lexington, where it remained until the 25th January, 1864, when it moved to Burnside Point, having engaged the enemy at House Mountain.
The 10th remained at Burnside Point from the 2d to the 25th of February, when it marched for Knoxville, East Tennessee, reaching there March 6th, and thence marched on the 16th to Morristown via Strawberry Plains. On March 26th it made a reconnaissance with a brigade of infantry to Bean's Station, and had a slight skirmish with the enemy.
On the 24th of April the regiment moved from that point under orders from General J. D. Cox, commanding 3d Division, 23d Army Corps, to destroy a railroad bridge over the Watauga river at Carter's Station.
