Bryan: My interest in the 1st Indiana Cavalry centers on the regiment's activities in the Fredericktown, Missouri area during the period of about October 15 thru Oct 25, 1861. As you are aware, the regiment made a gallant charge near the close of the battle at Fredericktown on October 21, in which it suffered rather severe losses. I am looking for accounts of the regiment's involvement in the skirmishes that preceded the battle and the battle itself, along with casualites by name. My plan is to write a brief history of the engagement of Fredericktown in booklet form. I have a short article on the battle scheduled for publication in the Missouri Historical Review in April.
