Slayback's Missouri Cavalry Regiment was a cavalry regiment of the Confederate States Army during the American Civil War. Formed as Slayback's Missouri Cavalry Battalion, the unit consisted of men recruited in Missouri by Lieutenant Colonel Alonzo W. Slayback (pictured) during Price's Raid in 1864. The battalion's first action was at the Battle of Pilot Knob in September; it later participated in actions at Sedalia, Lexington, and the Little Blue River. In October, the unit was used to find an alternate river crossing during the Battle of the Big Blue River and saw action at the battles of Westport, Marmiton River, and Second Newtonia. Around February 1865, the battalion reached regimental strength after more recruits joined. On June 2, 1865, the Confederate Trans-Mississippi Department surrendered. The men of the regiment were located at different points in Louisiana and Arkansas when they were paroled, leading the historian James McGhee to believe that the regiment had disbanded before the surrender.
