The National Lancers
The National Lancers has a long and distinguished history as a volunteer troop of militia cavalry. The Lancers were organized on 31 October 1836 at the request of Gov. Edward Everett. While the ostensible reason to organize the National Lancers was as the governor’s mounted ceremonial escort; the Lancers, as volunteer militia, was also charged with enforcing the law and defending the Commonwealth from invasion and insurrection. The unit’s designation reflected its organization as light cavalry, equipped and uniformed similarly to the Polish Lancers of the Napoleonic Army.With the outbreak of the Civil War in 1861, the Lancers organized two war service troops -- Companies C and D, 1st Massachusetts Volunteer Cavalry. Younger Lancers, along with new recruits, rode off to fight with the Army of the Potomac taking part in campaigns in South Carolina, Virginia, Maryland and Pennsylvania. During the Boston Draft Riot in July 1863, the National Lancers, in it’s home guard role, helped put down the rioting.

The National Lancers
After the Civil War, the National Lancers returned to its drills, summer camps, and escort duties. While it was a military organization, the National Lancers was also a social organization. In addition to dinners, horse shows, and other social events, the Lancers visited other elite militia organizations in New Orleans, Washington, DC, Richmond, Charleston and Cleveland. The Lancers were not called for service in the Spanish American War in 1898 since the Army did not need additional cavalry. In June 1916, as part of the 1st Squadron of Cavalry, Massachusetts National Guard, the National Lancers mustered into Federal service and deployed to Texas to patrol the border with Mexico. For four months, Lancers trained on the hot, dusty Texas plains. In November 1916, the troop was mustered out of Federal service.
