The Seventh Iowa Cavalry was organized under special authority of the War Department, for the purpose of assisting in the defense of the western and northern frontier settlements against the hostile Indian tribes. The Government had previously employed the troops of the Regular Army for that purpose, but the greater part of those troops wee then engaged with the armies in the South, in contending against the armed forces of treason and rebellion. Therefore, in addition to the large number of regiments which the State of Iowa had already sent into the field, her loyal sons were called upon to volunteer for the protection of the pioneer settlers upon the frontiers. The organization of the regiment proceeded slowly. The first company was ordered into quarters by the Governor on November 5, 1862. Davenport, Iowa was designated as the rendezvous of the regiment and there, on dates ranging from April 27, to July 13, 1863, eight companies - A to H inclusive - were mustered into the service of the United States, by Lieutenant Colonel William N. Grier, of the Regular Army. Company I was added, by transfer of the Sioux City Cavalry, an independent company, which had been mustered into the service at Sioux City, November 14, 1861, and had been long engaged in service on the frontier, and were in garrison at Fort Randall, Dakota Territory, at the time of their transfer to the Seventh Cavalry. The organization of the regiment was thus completed on July 25, 1863. The four companies transferred were a valuable acquisition, on account of their long experience on the frontier and their knowledge of the character of the Indians and their methods of warfare.

On the 27th of July 1863, six companies of the regiment, under command of Major H. H. Heath, marched from the rendezvous at Davenport, under orders to report to General McKean, commanding the District of Nebraska, Department of Missouri, with headquarters at Omaha. Upon their arrival at Omaha, these companies were assigned to different posts in Nebraska Territory. On the 5th of September the remaining companies marched to Omaha, where the headquarters of the regiment were established. The principal operations of the regiment were performed by detachments, scattered over a wide extend of territory, and for that reason a connected history of the regiment as a whole cannot be given. From historical memoranda furnished the Adjutant General of Iowa, by Major George M. O'Brien, and from official reports of battles with the Indians, which will heareafter be referred to, the compiler will endeavor to give a condensed account of the leading events which marked the long period of service covered by the regiment.

The Seventh Iowa Cavalry had at the completion of its organization an aggregate strength of 1,096 men. Subsequent enlistment's increased the number to the total enrollment as shown at the close of this historical sketch. All casualties are noted in the subjoined roster, together with the personal record of service of each officer and enlisted man. From the time regimental headquarters were established and the companies were assigned to their various posts, they were engaged in escorting trains, protecting emigrants, guarding lines of travel, scouting through the country and watching the movements of the Indians. They had numerous conflicts with the Indians. Portions of the regiment were engaged in the battles of Horse Creek, White Stone, Hill, Tahkahokutah, Bad, Lands, Little Blue, Julesburg, Mud Springs and Rush Creek, besides several less important affairs.
