FIRST CAVALRY.
The First Cavalry was recruited during the Summer of 1861. Its services began during the following Winter. Its first action was at Silver Creek, Mo., where the rebel camp was attacked and routed. In February, 1862, a detachment from the First helped surprise and capture Gen. Price at Warsaw. Another detachment had a brush with guerrillas near Montevallo in the following April. During the next few months, the regiment had skirmishes with rebels near Clinton, Big Creek, Clear Creek and Newtonia. December 7th, the first and third battalions participated in the battte at Prairie Grove. That month the command assisted at the capture of Van Buren, where a number of steamboats, several hundred prisoners and a large amount of steres fell into the hands of our forces. April 26, 1863, the most of the regiment was con- cerned in a night attack upon a portion of Marmaduke's forces, breaking up the camp and inflicting heavy loss.

WAR RECORD OF BLACK HAWK COUNTY.
August 26th and 27th, the regiment did gallant service at White River. From September 10th until the following January, the First was stationod at Little Rock. April 24, 1864, the command repulsed a charge of the enemy at Mono River, and had a share in the battle at Jenkins' Ferry on the 30th. The regiment continued doing scout service until January, 1865, when they were sent to Dar- danelle, and had a brush with Col. Cooper, driving him off the field. They went thence to Pine Bluff, and to Mem- phis. From this place they made two incursions into Mississippi. After the war closed, much to the disappoint- ment of the men, the regiment was ordered to Texas under Custer. On the route, two or three of the regiment committed some depredations on the inhabitants, contrary to specific orders from Gen. Custer, who was in command. A few of the men were detected and ordered to be flogged. This order created much bitterness of feeling toward Custer, which had hardly disappeared when he met tragic death on the plains.

THIRD BATTERY LIGHT ARTIL- LERY.
[NOTE .- This battery was mustered out at Davenport Oct. 3, 1865.]
This battery was organized by Capt. M. M. Hayden under special authority from the Secretary of War, dur- ing the months of August and September, 1861. at Du- buque, under the name of the Dubuque Battery, and was attached to the Ninth Regiment lowa Voluntary Infantry, Col. William Vandever commanding. On the 3d of Sep- tember, 1861, the first detachment of the battery was mustered in by Capt. Washington, William H. McClure, of Cedar Falls, Iowa, being mustered as First Lieutenant, under whose charge the detachment was placed in Camp Union, near Dubuque.
The battery was speedily filled up by recruits, and on the 24th of the same month the final muster-in as a bat- tery took place, the following officers having been chosen : Captain, M. M. Hayden ; Senior First Lieutenant, W. H. McClure; Junior First Lieutenant, M. C. Wright; Senior Second Lieutenant, W. H. Crozier; Junior Second Lieut- enant. Jerome Bailey. The battery, with the Ninth Iowa Infantry, left Camp Union, on the steamer Canada, September 26th, for St. Louis. Were immediately marched to Benton Barracks (then in process of completion). Req- uisitions for guns, horses and harness were made.
On the 13th of November, they were ordered to Pacific City, Mo., where they remained during the greater part of the Winter. Guns and equipments were received about the Ist of December.
The battery consisted of four six-pounder bronze guns and two twelve-pounder howitzers. On the 25th of Jan- uary, they moved by rail to Rolla, where they were assigned under Gen. Curtis. On the 28th of the same month, they marched from Rolla in the direction of Leb- anon.
February 9th, marched to Springfield, Mo. Participa- ted in the famous race after Price's fleeing army, making some almost unprecedented marches, and ending in the battle of Pea Ridge.
The suddenness of their final attack, with the meager- ness of our support, compelled us to leave two of our guns upon the field. These guns, however, were not abandoned until they were spiked, and every horse had been killed and every man serving with them either killed or wounded. We fell back some 400 yards, where, support coming to our aid, we kept up fire with the remaining guns until darkness put an end to the engagement.
/
Our entire loss in the two days' engagement was two men killed, two officers and fifteen men wounded, twenty- three horses killed and three guns captured, and fired, during the engagement, over 1,200 rounds of ammunition.
Marched to Batesville, Ark. Arrived at Helena July 12th, and made several reconnaissances from that point. Was in the Little Rock expedition.
In January, 1864, the battery re-enlisted and went home. Returned in May and received new guns and out- fit and did efficient service during the rest of the war.

For four years and more, the notes of the fife and drum and bugle and the tramp of armed hosts were continually heard, from the Atlantic to the Pacific. from the Gulf of Mexico to British North America, and the clash of arms was borne northward on every breeze from the sunny but blood-drenched plains of the South. For four years and more, "grim-visaged war" had waved its crim- soned banners over the fair fabric the Fathers had erected, in a vain endeavor to hurl it from its foundations. In this terrible and gigantic struggle, Black Hawk had borne its full part, and many a brave volunteer from its beautiful prairies had laid down his life on the battle field or starved to death in the rebel slaughter pens at Andersonville and Macon.
But now Sherman and his "brave boys in blue " had made their memorable and historic march to the sea, Lee had surrendered to the victorious army of the Union under Grant, the war was ended, peace restored, the Union preserved in its integrity, and the patriotic sons of Black Hawk who were spared to wit- ness the final victory of the armies of the Union returned to their homes to receive grand ovations and tributes of honor from friends and neighbors who had eagerly and jealously and anxiously watched and followed them wherever the varying fortunes of war had called them.
Exchanging their soldiers' uniforms for citizens' dress, most of them fell back to their old avocations-on the farm, in the mines, at the forge, the bench, in the shop, in the office, or at whatever else their hands found to do. Their noble deeds, in the hour of their country's peril, are now and always will be dear to the hearts of the people whom they so faithfully served. Brave men are always honored, and no class of citizens are entitled to greater respect than the brave volunteers of Black Hawk County, not simply because they were soldiers, but because, in their association with their fellow men, their walk is upright, and their character and honesty without reproach.
