6th Kansas Militia Infantry Regiment

The 6th Kansas Militia Regiment was a militia regiment that served in the Union Army during the American Civil War. Mobilized on October 9 in response to Price's Missouri Expedition, the unit was originally commanded by Colonel James D. Snoddy. After the regiment was sent into Missouri as part of the division of Major General James G. Blunt, Snoddy attempted to lead it back to Kansas, which led to his arrest. Veteran officer James Montgomery replaced Snoddy. The regiment may have been lightly engaged at the Battle of Byram's Ford on October 22, and fought in the Battle of Westport the next day. The regiment was disbanded on October 29, the crisis having passed.
