HISTORY OF MAHASKA COUNTY.
FORTY-SEVENTH INFANTRY
This was one of the regiments raised in accordance with the proposition of the " War Governors " of Illinois, Ohio, Indiana, Iowa, and Minnesota, to supply to the United States 85,000 volunteers for one hundred days' ser- vice, which offer was accepted by the President, April 23, 1864.
Company I of this regiment was raised from Mahaska county, by Capt. Batterton, in May. The rendezvous of the command was at Davenport. From that point the Forty-seventh was ordered to Helena, Arkansas, where it encamped until the expiration of term of service, when it returned to Davenport without having " smelled powder," or heard the roar of battle. The camp at Helena was sickly, for some reason, and quite a number of the command there fell victims to disease, which in all armies is usually more destructive than the enemy's guns.
The regiment was mnstered out at Davenport, October, 1864.

FOURTH CAVALRY.
This regiment was raised during the latter part of 1861, with rendez- vous at Camp Harlan, Mount Pleasant, and contained squads of Mahaska county men who enlisted with the regiment, or as recruits after it had en- tered the service, quite a number enlisting in 1863 and 1864.
During May, 1863, the regiment was in several engagements in Missis- sippi, at Jackson, at Raymond, and twice at Mechanicsburg, on the 24th and 29th of that month. During the previous part of the year the regiment had been stationed at Helena, Arkansas, doing scouting and picket duty. Under Gen. Sherman at Black River, in June, a portion of the regiment

had quite a severe encounter with the enemy's cavalry, about 125 Union men being surrounded by 800 Rebels. The former were successful in cut- ting their way out with a loss of near fifty men in killed and taken pris- oners. During the remainder of the year the regiment was engaged in skirmishing in Mississippi, but without serions loss.
During 1864, no regiment in the army was in more active service than the Fourth Cavalry. After several skirimishes and long marches in the early spring, or rather during the winter, they were furlonghed March 4, 1864, by special order of Gen. Sherman. Various expeditions were under- taken upon the return of the regiment to Mississippi, involving marches of some thousands of miles and numerous brilliant engagements. Of his men, December 1, 1864, Colonel Winslow says: "No language can de- scribe their sufferings, or give them credit for that distinguished bravery and endurance which have taught the enemy to respect them and fear their coming, as the people of the Indies fear the Simoon. Four expeditions against Forrest and one against Price, bear testimony to the fatigues en- dured, the dangers encountered, the defeats shared, the victories won."
During March and April, 1865, a most brilliant march with frequent fighting, was made from Chickasaw, Alabama, to Macon, Georgia. Seven battle flags were captured in a single engagement, near Columbus, Georgia, by volunteers of this regiment. During the month occupied in this expe- dition, 610 miles were marched, 2,436 prisoners captured, 21 pieces of artillery, 1,650 stand of small arms, and 880 horses and mules taken.
[NOTE .- This regiment was mustered out at Atlanta, Georgia, August 10, 1865. Men not otherwise accounted for, mustered out as with the regiment.
