10th Regiment Cavalry
"From March 25th to May 25th we had been living in the enemy's country, cut off from all bases of supplies, with no opportunity to hear from the loved ones at home, and only one or two chances to send word home of our own welfare, and having marched, I suppose, not less that 1,800 miles."
Upon returning to East Tennessee after the Stoneman Raid and the pursuit of Jeff. Davis, the regiment was encamped at Lenoir' Station and Sweetwater under the command of Major Standish, Colonel Trowbridge having won the honorable promotion of Brigadier and Major General by brevet, being in command of the brigade and for a short time of the division.
In the latter part of August, 1865, the Tenth was ordered to West Tennessee where it served until November llth, when it was mustered out of service at Memphis, and in command of Colonel Smith returned to Michigan, arriving on the 15th at Jackson, where it was disbanded.
