Only one was killed in action and seven of the whole number wounded; of the wounded ones, four were captured. The company was fortunate in the field but terribly depleted through disease in the camp.

HISTORY OF THE NINTH CAVALRY.
This regiment of volunteer cavalry was organized at the desire of a large number of volunteers, who had hastened to fill the ranks of the Eighth Iowa Volunteer Cavalry. The surplus, after the quota of the Eighth was filled, de- sired to aid, and with the special permission of the general government, became the nucleus of the Ninth. The additional number for an aggregate strength, at day of muster of one thousand, one hundred and seventy-eight was soon ob- tained. The organization of the regiment was effected during the months of
88
HISTORY OF TAYLOR COUNTY
October and November, 1863, at Davenport, and mustered in by Lieutenant- Colonel W. N. Grier. U. S. A., at that place November 30, 1863.
While awaiting arms, equipment and horses the regiment was quartered at Camp Roberts, afterward Camp Kinsman, near the city of Davenport. After a week spent thus, marching orders came and the command took its departure for St. Louis, Missouri. The military officials at St. Louis were guilty of a great criminal blunder, and the regiment instead of being sent into barracks, was ordered into camp. December 11, 1863, at Camp Jackson. Many of the men were without tents and consequently exposed to all the severities of the weather. On the sixteenth the command was ordered to Benton barracks, which at that time, was a camp of instruction.
Here the time was occupied in drilling and other duties calculated to initiate the members in the art of war, until March 1, 1864, when the officer in com- mand, General Hatch, was relieved by brigadier-General J. W. Davidson. Under him the final preparations for taking the field were rapidly consummated. The regiment when ready to march, was declared the best mounted regiment seen by that general in nineteen years of cavalry service. The regiment was employed from April 14, 1864, in skirmishing with and capturing bands of guerrillas. May 15th of that year, the regiment embarked for Duvall's Bluff, Arkansas, when it encamped a short distance from White river. This was the great depot of sup- plies for General Steele's army, and was, hence, an object of great solicitude on the part of the Confederate forces. From this date on the duties of the regi- ment were light. It engaged in no battles whatever, and only occasionally did a small force get drawn into a skirmish with the enemy. The time was largely spent in foraging and picket or guard duty. The regiment was finally mustered out at Little Rock, Arkansas. Companies E, F, G, H, K, and L, February 3, 1866: A, C, D, and the field and staff, February 28; company I, March 15, and company B, March 23. During its service it marched over two thousand miles, moved by steamboat and by rail, seventeen hundred miles, and the aggregate marches of its various detachments were eight thousand miles or more. It did not lose a single man killed and had but fifteen wounded. The total number of deaths from sickness including two deaths by drowning, was one hundred and sixty-six. Following is the farewell letter of General Trumbull to his men :
HEADQUARTERS NINTH IOWA CAVALRY VOLUNTEERS. FORT SMITH, ARKANSAS, February 19, 1866. To the Officers and Soldiers of the Ninth Iowa Cavalry :
GENTLEMEN .- We are about to separate. Our work is done. The flag of the republic waves triumphantly over all her ancient domain. In the great struggle which has passed you have done well, and you leave the service carry- ing with you a noble tribute of approbation from the major general command- ing the district. one of the greatest of soldiers of the country. The hardships and dangers you have undergone have been great, and many of our comrades have sunk by the wayside. The discipline has been severe but it was necessary to make soldiers of you. In the new positions you are to assume preserve your soldier's name untainted, and should the president of the United States again order the "long roll" beaten, I trust we shall all be ready to fall in.

of muster for disability of various kinds. The company shared all the fortunes of its regiment.
SCATTERING ENLISTMENTS.
The following enlistments may be properly classified under this caption. Taken in connection with the preceding regimental and company rosters, there will be presented a complete list of all the men who went from Taylor county to aid their brethren in the field. The causes for the scattering enlistments are as numerous as they are diverse. Sometimes the regiment in which they originally enlisted was more than full, and the overflow was transferred to other regiments, not yet having their full complement. Then again, men from this county joined regiments or companies forming elsewhere than within this enrollment district and though they were carefully credited to the county, they ranked in other brigades and engaged in other battles than those in which the major part of Tay- lor county men participated. Some even joined regiments forming in other states.
