Richard Henry Rush, a graduate of the West Point Military Academy and at the time a captain of artillery, offered his services to the state of Pennsylvania to raise a regiment of artillery. After receiving no immediate response he offered his services once more on the 24th of July, and on the 27th he received authority from the War Department to recruit, without delay, a regiment of cavalry for three years service. The same day he was commissioned by state governor Andrew Gregg Curtin as Colonel of the 6th Pennsylvania Cavalry Regiment.

The 6th Pennsylvania Cavalry Regiment began mustering in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in early August through to September 1861 and became active shortly after on the 5th of October. The regiment was initially recruited under the name of the "Pennsylvania Light Cavalry" and was to be armed with Colt revolvers and sabres. At the request and suggestion of Major General George B. Mclellan, then commander of the Army of the Potomac, the regiment adopted the lance and earned it's nickname "Rush's Lancers".
