HISTORICAL SKETCH
That portion of Lieutenant Colonel Horton's report which has been omitted describes in detail the operations of the regiment while in pursuit of Gen- eral Hood's army, and embraces the dates from December 17th to 26th, in- clusive.
On December 27th a detachment of five hundred of the most effective men and horses in the brigade, of which two hundred were chosen from the Second Iowa, was ordered to proceed in advance of the cavalry division and follow Hood's retreating army to the Tennessee River. This detachment pressed so closely upon the enemy's rear guard as to compel the abandonment of a large number of ambulances and wagons. Captain Bandy and Lieutenant Ham- ilton, with fifty men of the Second Iowa, gave the parting shots that hastened the retreat of the last of the enemy across the river on the evening of Decem- ber 28, 1864. The regiment had thus been conspicuous in all the operations against Hood's army from the commencement of the battle of Nashville until that army was almost destroyed and all that remained of it was in full re- treat. Among all the splendid regiments which composed the cavalry division commanded by that prince among leaders, General Edward Hatch, there was none which gained greater honor and distinction than the Second Iowa Cav- alry. The Second Brigade of the division to which the regiment belonged, and which was commanded by its own Colonel2 during the entire campaign, liad to its credit the capture of one General, two Majors, two Captains, six Lieuten- ants and 1,175 enlisted men of the rebel army, also 4 stands of colors, 1,315 muskets, 15 pieces of artillery, 21 wagons and 7 ambulances.
The regiment, with its brigade and division, upon returning from the pursuit of Hood's army, arrived at Eastport, Miss., January 11, 1865, and went into winter quarters at that place.
On the 19th of February, Major Schnitger, with four hundred men from the Second Iowa and Ninth Illinois Cavalry, conducted a successful expedition against a force of cavalry under command of the rebel General Roddy. re- turning to camp with a large number of prisoners, most of whom were found hiding in the woods, they having deserted the rebel commander, who continued to retreat with the remainder of his force and made good his escape. During the remainder of the winter the regiment was not called upon for active duty, as the war was practically ended. During the spring and summer of 1865, the operations of the regiment extended over a considerable territory in the northern sections of Alabama and Mississippi, but these operations were more in the nature of a pacific than hostile character, the real necessity for the re- tention of troops in the Southern States during this period being for the pur- pose of maintaining order, and assisting in the readjustment of the functions of civil government.
Upon the disbandment of the brigade which he had so long commanded, Colonel Coon issued the following order:
HEADQUARTERS SECOND BRIGADE, FIFTH DIVISION, C. C. M. D. M. DECATUR, ALA., July 7, 1865. (General Order No. 11)
Veteran Companions : This day the identity of the old Second Brigade is lost, and its unflinching battle line, that covered our retiring forces at West Point and Prairie Station, that saved a disorganized command at Okolona, that raised the well earned cry of victory at Hurricane Creek and Tupelo, that presented its unbroken front to Hood's advancing hosts at Shoal Creek, Mt. Carmel, Linville, Lawrenceburg Pike and Franklin, and that taught the world a new lesson in cavalry warfare when it waved its victorious battle flag on the captured redoubts before Nashville; that un- wavering battle scarred line has at last by order of your Department Commander been
20Colonel Datus E. Coon received the rank of Brevet Brigadier General, for gallant and meritorious services during this campaign.

SECOND CAVALRY
broken, and in parting I feel proud in giving expression to the heartfelt God speed and sincere well wishes mutually exchanged by the officers and men of the brigade. You have endured storms, hunger, fatigue and disaster and enjoyed sunshine and plenty, and many a victorious march together. Under each other's faithful watch, you have slept without fear in many a dangerous bivouac. Shoulder to shoulder you have stood the battle tide of many a sanguinary field, and the greatest good I can wish for you is that your future happiness and prosperity may be as great and unremitting as your past patriotism, fidelity and courage, while better cause for honest pride I shall never have than this: I once commanded the Second Brigade.
Officers, Soldiers and Comrades, Farewell.
By order of
DATUS E. COON, Brevet Brigadier General.
JOHN H. AVERY,
Capt. and A. A. A. G.M
It should be here stated that, as their original terms of service had ex- pired, those who had not re-enlisted had been mustered out of the service and returned to their homes. Those men had, by virtue of their three years' faithful service, become veterans in fact though not in name, the title having been offi- cially bestowed upon their comrades who chose to remain until the close of the war. No criticism could. however. be justly made upon the action of those men who had honorably fulfilled the obligation they had taken upon themselves at the beginning of the war, and they returned to their homes with the highest regard of their comrades who remained.
Early in the month of September, the Veteran Second Iowa Cavalry was ordered to proceed to Selma, Ala., at which place, on the 19th day of Sep- tember, 1865, it was mustered out of the service of the United States. It was then provided with transportation to Davenport, Iowa, and, upon arriving there, was disbanded, and the officers and men returned to their respective homes.
Major General A. J. Smith, in concluding his farewell address to the troops he had so long commanded, used the following words of praise and admonition : "Your military history is without blot or stain. With this record of your service you can return to your respective homes, with the consciousness that you have performed your full duty, won the respect and admiration of your commanders, and well deserved the confidence and trust of the country that in her hour of danger placed you in ranks and trusted to you her battles. Still continue to merit that confidence and trust, by becoming as good citizens as you have been soldiers. Remember that for a Republican government the main requisite is enlightened, moral and industrious citizens. Unless you become such the results of your entire service are lost to you. Let the memory of what you have endured endear to you every foot of American soil. Having asserted the supremacy of the General Government in arms, assist, now, in creating for it a glorious future among nations."
The survivors of the Second Iowa Cavalry have, as citizens, as faithfully observed this parting injunction of their old commander as they obeyed his orders when fighting for the preservation of a united country. Let those who come after them cherish their memory and emulate their patriotic example in time of peace, and, if need be, in war.
