The 10th Cavalry was formed at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas in 1866 as an all African-American regiment (one of the original Buffalo Soldier regiments). Very high standards of recruitment were set by the regiment's commander and Civil War hero Benjamin Grierson. As a result, recruitment and organization of the unit required slightly over one year. By the end of July 1867 eight companies of enlisted men had been recruited from the Departments of Missouri, Arkansas, and the Platte.
