After the Civil War, settlers rushed to the rich and relatively empty lands of the Great Plains.

When the angry and frightened citizens of Kansas demanded military help, the War Department authorized placing volunteer militia units on active duty during the emergency. On July , , four companies of the th Kansas Volunteer Cavalry were mustered into Federal service. Under command of Captain Horace L. Moore, the th set out immediately for a month of vigorous campaigning. Returning to camp at Ft. Hays, then in the midst of a cholera epidemic, the Kansans then joined forces with the th Cavalry, the famous black “Buffalo Soldiers.” A combined force of men, commanded by Captain George A. Armes of the th, rode down the Saline River; Captain Moore, with Kansans, scouted upstream. The two groups had lost contact with each other when Captain Armes’ group was struck by to Kiowas and Cheyennes under the great war chiefs Satanta and Roman Nose. As Armes’ group of men held their ground through fierce fighting, the men of the th Kansas, hearing the noise of battle, managed to fight their way through to Armes. To break the stalemate, Captain Armes formed a party for a charge on the Indians. Led by Armes, the force of about black regulars and regulars and Kansas volunteers moved first toward Prairie Dog Creek, and then, turning charged up the hill toward the main body of warriors. The Indians broke and scattered, ending the day’s fighting. The cavalry had lost 3 men dead and wounded; the Indians, dead and wounded. The Battle of Prairie Dog ended the offensive operations on the Kansas frontier for the year, and in the fall treaties were signed with the tribes of the Southern Plains. The proud tradition of the th Kansas Volunteer Cavalry is carried on today by the men and women of the Kansas Army and Air National Guard.
