FIRST CAVALRY
Burlington, lowa, was designated as the general rendezvous of the com- panies composing this organization, which were mustered in July 30, 1861, to August 17, 1861, by Captain Alexander Chambers of the United States Army. This regiment had the honor of being the first volunteer cavalry organization en- listed for a three years' term of service, to be accepted by the Government. On the 30th of September the regiment took the field, entering into the difficult duties involved in the struggle between the loyal and disloyal citizens of Mis- souri, in the early days of October. The operations of the cavalry being con- ducted largely by battalions, no connected history of the services performed can be given in this brief space. But the first real engagement in which any portion of the regiment participated was fought on the 19th of December, 1861, on Black river, near the town of Milford. Missouri. April 14, 1862, a detachment had a skirmish with a superior force of rebels in which Lieutenant Barnes distin- guished himself, with a part of Company K. At White River, Arkansas, August 27, 1863, the regiment had 37 men killed and wounded; and at Camden, April 4, 1864, 39 killed and wounded. In 1864 the regiment became a veteran organi- zation by the re-enlistment of a large percentage of the command. The service of the regiment was chiefly in Missouri and Arkansas, operating against the rebel generals Price and Forrest, and in Tennessee, Louisiana, and at the close of the war were sent into Texas during the pacification of that state. The regi- ment was mustered out at Austin, Texas, February 15, 1866.
