From Colonel Teddy Roosevelt, the First United States Volunteer Cavalry Regiment was organized by Theodore Roosevelt and Leonard Wood, M.D. General George A. Custer.

General Custer was appointed major-general of volunteers April 15, 1865, and was brevetted a major-general of United States Volunteers for “gallant and meritorious services at the battles of Winchester and Fisher’s Hill, Virginia.”
