| abstract | - The First Nebraska Militia was a temporary military force mobilized by Territorial Governor Alvin Saunders in August, 1864 during the Indian uprising of 1864 which threatened travelers on the Overland Trail and settlers on the frontier. The First Nebraska Militia reinforced the Seventh Iowa Cavalry, which had previously been deployed and had constructed Fort McPherson near present day North Platte, Nebraska, and the First Nebraska Veteran Volunteer Cavalry. The Nebraska MILITIA were frontiersmen who furnished their own horses and arms. They were, as soldiers, first-class in every respect. The companies were small but efficient.
