The regiment to which these companions were attached, the First Ne- braska Infantry, was ordered south about the middle of August, 1861, and after participating in Fremont's Missouri campaign, were ordered farther south and took part in the battle of Fort Donelson, that being their first lively engagement. These companies also participated in the battles of Shiloh and Corinth, and in both engagements acquitted themselves in such a manner as to call forth plaudits, thus winning the admiration of all. In November, 1863, after the regiment veteranized, it was changed to the

HISTORY OF PAGE COUNTY
First Nebraska Cavalry, in which position it served during the remainder of the war.
The next company, or at least a portion of it, recruited in this county, was for the Fourth Iowa Cavalry. The members of the company from Page county were recruited by Rev. J. M. Rush, who was second lieutenant of the company. At the time he entered the service he had charge of the Methodist church on the Hawleyville circuit. Both of the other officers, Captain Rector and Lieutenant Guyle, of Fremont county, were also Meth- odist ministers.
In the latter part of August, 1861, a company was recruited for the Fourth Iowa Infantry. Joseph Cramer was captain. On January 22, 1862, the Fourth joined the army of the southwest under General Curtis, and for thirty months thereafter was in continuous active service. It never fell to its lot to do post duty. It took an active part at Pea Ridge, where Gen- eral Curtis declared it "won immortal honors." At this battle Second Lieutenant James T. Chittenden, of Company K, the company recruited from Page county, was mortally wounded in the breast and died from the effects of the same in the hospital at Cassville, Missouri, about the first of May, 1863. The record of this regiment in its march against Price to Springfield and to Ozark Mountains, to Batesville and across Arkansas to Helena, thence to Chickasaw Bayou and up the Arkansas river to Arkansas Post, from Milliken's Bend around through Grand Gulf and Jackson to the rear of Vicksburg, to Memphis, thence across the country to Chattanooga and with Sherman against Atlanta, is one of the achievements unsurpassed for brilliancy and bravery. It was engaged on more than thirty battlefields, met the enemy in eight different rebel states and was never repulsed. It fought at Pea Ridge, Chickasaw Bayou, Arkansas Post, Jackson, Vicksburg, Cherokee Station, Caney Creek, Tuscumbia, Chattanooga, Lookout Moun- tain, Mission Ridge, Ringgold, Columbus, Goldsboro, Atlanta, Resaca and Kenesaw Mountain. It was present at the Grand Review at Washington, thence going to Louisville, where it did provost guard duty until July 25, 1865, when it came to Davenport and was mustered out September 3d.
About the time Captain Cramer was recruiting his company, Dr. Rum- baugh of Hawleyville was engaged in organizing a cavalry company for a Missouri regiment, and on Saturday, August 24, 1861, the company left Hawleyville for St. Joe, where they joined their regiment. After the battle of Lexington his company was disbanded and he immediately took steps toward organizing another company and after organizing the same his company was assigned to the Twenty-fifth Missouri Infantry. Dr. Rum- baugh was a short time afterward promoted to major of his regiment, in which position he served until he was mustered out of the service
On the 2d of September. 1861, Captain John M. Young and Lieutenant C. A. B. Langdon left Page City with a company of cavalry for Omaha, intending to join a Nebraska regiment, there being no Iowa cavalry regiment recruiting for the service at the time and they either had to join a regiment outside of their own state, or disband. They remained in Omaha until the latter part of December, 1861, when, pursuant to special order, they

were attached to a regiment known as "Curtis' Horse." June 25, 1862, the regiment was assigned to the state of Iowa and called the Fifth Iowa Cav- alry. November 1, 1862, Captain Young was appointed major and was afterward promoted to colonel. This regiment saw hard service and at one time it was reduced to thirty horses, so arduous had been their campaign around Atlanta. Concerning an expedition under Major Young, General Elliott, chief of cavalry, under date of November 17, 1863, wrote as fol- lows: "The success of the scout under command of Major Young, shows that he has been energetic and shows judgment in the management of his command." He also received the thanks of the major general for the brave, energetic and prudent manner in which the expedition was conducted. Thus it will be observed that it mattered not in what department of the service the Page county soldiers participated, they always acquitted themselves with honor.
The next company to leave the county enlisted in August, 1862, in the Twenty-third Iowa Infantry. This was probably the largest company to enlist from Page county during the war, there being no less than ninety- two enlistments from the county in Company F of that regiment. A con- plete history of this regiment will be found in connection with our history of Iowa regiments.
The latter part of August, 1863, Captain Burns resigned his position in the First Nebraska and came home and immediately commenced recruit- ing a company for the Eighth lowa Cavalry, and on the 30th of September the regiment was mustered into service. On the morning of October 17th, the Eighth left Camp Roberts for Louisville, Kentucky, where they arrived on the 21st and went into camp. On the 4th of November, the regiment commenced its march for Nashville, Tennessee, where it arrived on the morning of the 17th. The regiment participated in the battles in and around Atlanta, doing hard and valuable service. Of the two hundred and ninety-two enlisted men and twenty-four officers who started on the McCook raid, but twenty men and officers returned to the federal lines, the balance having cither been killed, wounded or taken prisoners. In summing up the history of the regiment for 1864, its colonel, J. B. Dorr, took occasion to say: "I may be permitted to say that it has been about as hard and con- tinuous service as has fallen to the lot of any command in the same time. It has, without including skirmishes, which were many, taken part in fifteen engagements, the casualties amounting to one hundred and sixty-eight, not including over two hundred men and officers taken prisoners."
Page county was also represented in the Twenty-ninth Iowa Infantry. Charles B. Shoemaker was mustered into the service as major, September 16, 1862, and remained with the regiment until January 7, 1865, when he resigned. There were only fourteen men from Page county in the Twenty-ninth.
The county was also represented in the following regiments: Fourth Missouri Cavalry, First Iowa Cavalry, Seventeenth Iowa Infantry and Eleventh Missouri Cavalry.
