Background
The Sixty-Fifth Regiment – Fifth Cavalry, made up of twelve companies, was one in which Jews were largely represented. Its 1,200 men were recruited by a German-born Jew, Colonel Max Friedman, with ten companies coming from Philadelphia, and two from Pittsburgh. Although Friedman relinquished command comparatively early – he was severely wounded at the Battle of Vienna - his “Cameron Dragoons” continued in the service of the government until August 1865. Said Brigadier-General and Brevet Major-General August V. Kautz, “It would give me great pleasure to meet the survivors of the Fifth Pennsylvania Cavalry, a Regiment that performed its full share of the arduous duties assigned to the Cavalry Division of the Army of the James, which made a record of which every member may well be proud.”
