Summary
The cavalry action described here was carefully planned and executed by Colonel Ranald S. Mackenzie. His regiment, the 4th, provided six handpicked companies of experienced Indian campaigners. Also included were the famous Seminole-Negro Indian Scouts, a detachment of which was commanded by Lieutenant John L. Bullis. Carefully chosen by the President, because of the reputation of the regiment and its commander, a secret mission into Mexico was made to punish a band of hostile Kickapoo and Lipan's who had rendered life and property on the Texas frontier untenable.
