Summary: "Ninth Cavalry: One Hundred and Twenty-first Regiment Indiana Volunteers" by Daniel Webster Comstock is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This work chronicles the experiences of the 9th Indiana Cavalry during the American Civil War, highlighting key battles, individual narratives, and the overall impact of the regiment's actions.

The opening of the book introduces the context of the collected writings, which were read at annual reunions of the regiment.
