The next important move of the Second was that in pursuit of Forrest to Jackson in July, 1863. In the winter of 1863-64 the regiment re-en- listed as veterans, and after a furlough returned to Memphis, from whence it again joined in the pursuit of Forrest and in the operations against Hood in Tennessee. During the fall it had several severe engagements, and was constantly on the scout. Its officers were mentioned with high praise by commanders, for the conduct of the regiment during the campaign. It did not go with the march to Macon, Georgia. It was mustered out at Selma, Alabama, September 19, 1865. The casualties will be found on page 184. Polk county was represented in companies B and D.

FOURTH CAVALRY.

The Fourth cavalry was rendezvoused at Camp Harlan, Mt. Pleasant, and mustered into the United States service November 25, 1861. It was mus- tered out at Atlanta, Georgia, August 10, 1865; paid and disbanded at Dav- enport.

The personnel of this regiment was above the average. The schools of Mt. Pleasant were largely represented. It also represented, perhaps, more fully than any regiment, the homes of the State. Its outfit was superior; its horses were unusually fine, its colonel being a critical judge of a good horse. The history of its first year's service is identical with that of the First cavalry-it scoured Missouri, sharing the same labors and trials. In May, 1863 it entered into more active and perilous service. It led the ad- vance of Sherman's corps from Milliken's Bend, Louisiana, to Jackson, Mis- sissippi, and was the only cavalry regiment with Grant from Grand Gulf to Jackson and Vicksburg. From Jackson it went to the rear of Vicksburg, operating on the right rear of the Union army and in front of Sherman's line on Big Bear creek and Big Black river; thence returned with Sherman after the capture of Vicksburg to Jackson; thence with Bussey to Canton; thence with the expedition to Memphis, across the country via Yazoo City, Lexington, Granada and Panola. In September, 1863, took part in the di- version of the enemy from Sherman's movement from Memphis to Chatta- nooga. In October went with McPherson's reconnaissance toward Canton; led the van of Sherman's army in its rapid march from Vicksburg to Meri- dian. In the spring of 1864 re-enlisted as veterans, took a furlough, returned to the front in April at Memphis; thence, with Sturgis, made the expedi- tion against Forrest; returned to Memphis, and in September joined in the pursuit of Price; thence joined the Grierson raid from Memphis down the railroad to Okolona; thence to Vicksburg; thence joined the brilliant march of General Winslow through Alabama and Georgia to Macon. In all these movements the Fourth was a prominent actor, and several times distinguished itself for its bravery and skill.

In 1863, during six months, it took part in thirty different engagements, and traveled over two thousand miles. In 1864, February 4, at Tunnell's Hill, it fought Ferguson's rebel cavalry from sunset till nine o'clock in the evening, driving them ten miles over a mountainous country. In the chase after Price the rear-guard of his flying army was overtaken by the Fourth on the 27th of September and routed, but he subsequently took a position on the Osage, and in the glorious charge upon it the Fourth led, crushing his lines, capturing his guns, and routing his whole army. For their brav- ery the regiment was ordered to inscribe " Big Blue" and " Osage" on their

590

banner. In the Macon march, at Selma, where General Winslow met and whipped Forrest for the third time, the Fourth, in the final charge, rushed on the rebels like the whirlwind, scattering them in every direction. For- rest and Price had now learned to fear and respect Winslow's brigade.

During the campaign from Chickasaw, Alabama, to Macon, Georgia, in 1865, the regiment captured in battle 2,436 prisoners, including 146 com- missioned officers; 21 pieces of artillery; 16 cassions; 10 battle flags; 1,650 stand of small arms; 738 horses and 142 mules. It captured and destroyed a vast amount of government property, and the great military supply depot of the Confederacy. It was one of the most brilliant and important achieve- ments of the war. No officer or private failed to do his whole duty. If one gained more prominence than another it was because they happened to be at the right place at the right time. The Fourth never failed to do its du- ty, and the effectiveness of cavalry is in the promptness and celerity of its movements-its vigorous dash. The casualties will be found on page 184. Polk county was represented in companies C, G and I, and on the staff to wit:

SEVENTH CAVALRY.

The Seventh cavalry was organized in the spring of 1863, rendez- voused at Davenport, and on the 27th was divided and six companies took their first experience in the field by a march across the State from Daven- port to Omaha, and from thence were sent to various posts in the Terri- tory of Nebraska. On the 5th of September the two remaining companies were sent to Omaha, and from that time the entire service of the regiment was spent on the frontier, at different places in that vast stretch of country from the Missouri river to the Rocky Mountains, fighting and chasing In- dians, an arduous if not dangerous duty. To give a history of the regi- ment would necessitate a record of each company, for the regiment never moved in a body-in fact was never together as a whole. It was scat- tered in detachments, who took part in every expedition against Indians in the departments of Missouri, Kansas and the Northwest, from 1863 to the fall of 1865, and fought wholly or part in the battles of White Stone Hill, Tahkahokutah, Bad Lands, Little Blue, Julesburg, Mud Springs and Rush Creek. Polk county was represented in companies A, D, E and L. Companies A and C took a tilt. with five hundred Cheyennes on Little

HISTORY OF POLK COUNTY.

Blue river, August 12, 1864, fighting from eleven o'clock in the forenoon until seven in the evening, with a loss of only two men. The distance traveled from its organization to February 28, 1865, was five thousand three hundred miles.

Company D went to Fort Laramie, thence to Fort Halleck, whence December 8, 1864, returned to Fort Laramie, and went into garrison for scouting, etc .; February 8 was engaged with Indians at Mud Springs, and on the 9th at Rush Creek, I. T., in which one man of the company was killed and two wounded. June 11, 1865, the company, with a small de- tachment from A and B, in all 135 men, were detailed to escort about 2,000 Sioux to Julesburg, with their lodges and families. On the morning of the 14th, near Fort Mitchell, the Indians revolted, and Capt. Fouts was shot, and his body stripped and mutilated. . The Indians finally all fled to the hills and bluffs, leaving their lodges and loose plunder.

January 6, 1866, companies A, C, D, I, and H, constituting the second battalion, with two other battalions, left Fort McPherson (Cottonwood Post) on an expedition against hostile Indians, returning after a severe and long march to the post February 19, and the following day the expedion disbanded. When it was considered that the men had already served out their full time; that this expedition was through a wild and unsettled country, amid the rigor of the severest weather known on the plains, with subsistence short, the men deserve, as they received, the highest commen- dation from commanding officers and the War Department. They did their duty well, and won the title of " Hiowa 'ell 'ounds " among the pre- datory enemies of the settlers on the border.

The regiment was not formally mustered out, but was disbanded in de- tachments. Companies A to K were mustered out at Leavenworth, May 17, 1866. It had became so decimated as to lose regimental organization. In fact its colonel was not with the regiment for nearly a year before it was disbanded, having been mustered out January 31, 1865. The casualties were: Killed, 145; died, 101; discharged, 246; wounded, 8. Of enlisted men and of officers: killed, 2; resigned, 15; dismissed, 6.

EIGHTH CAVALRY.

The Eighth was mustered into service September 30, 1863, and, before being fully equipped with either horses or arms, was ordered to the front to join General Rosecrans at Chattanooga. The remainder of the animals were procured as quickly as possible, and on the morning of October 17, the Eighth left Camp Roberts for Louisville, via Michigan City and In- dianapolis, where they arrived on the 21st and went into camp near the Nashville railroad depot. They were soon furnished with shelter, tents, Colt's army pistols, and about 300 Gallagher carbines. Drill was resumed. and the first dress-parade, mounted, took place on the evening of the 22d, November 4th the regiment commenced its march to Nashville, Tennessee where it arrived on the 17th, making its first march of 200 miles in less than two weeks. On the 1st of December the eighth left Nashville on the line of the N. & N. W. railroad.

After a general scout through that section of the country, the regiment was detailed by battalion to three different points, with headquarters at Waverly, Tennessee.

The capturing or dispersing of guerrillas was the principal duty of the Eighth Iowa cavalry, but whenever occasion offered, the regiment was not lacking in courage or coolness; and, in fact, did some excellent fighting on several occasions, among which was the engagement at Lost Mountain, Lovejoy's Station, and at Newnan. Starting from Red Clay, and includ- ing Stoneman's raid around Atlanta, the regiment was under fire every day for more than a month. At Newnan, the mounted men that had been placed in position by General McCook to protect the only avenue of retreat for his forces on their return from their "raid around Atlanta," were all captured except a portion of company K and a few picked men from other companies, numbering seventeen in all, who made their escape under com- mand of Captain Dance, by cutting through the enemy's line.

The next business of the regiment was to assist in the pursuit of Wheeler, and in driving Forrest back from his invasion of Tennessee, in the fall of 1864. They were next engaged in the front of rebel General Hood in his advance upon Nashville, to which the regiment, with other forces fell back.

The regiment joined in the attack upon Hood at Nashville, and in the pursuit of his forces out of Tennessee. They then went into quarters at

NINTH CAVALRY.

The Ninth cavalry regiment was organized in the fall of 1863, and mustered in at Davenport November 30, and was represented by nearly every county in the State. It was moved to Benton Barracks, where it re- mained until April 14th, when it started for Little Rock. Its field of ser- vice was in Arkansas, and its most active service was when Steele was in a stage of siege at Little Rock. It was engaged in frequent short, sharp skirmishes. It took no part in the great battles of the war, still it per- formed two years' laborious and gallant service. It marched over two thousand miles. moved by steamboat and rail seventeen hundred miles, and, in scouting over eight thousand miles. It lost one hundred and sixty-four men by sickness and fifteen by wounds. It was mustered out at Little Rock in detachments in February and March, 1866.

LIGHT ARTILLERY-FIRST BATTERY.

The First battery was organized in August, 1861, and mustered out at Davenport July 1, 1865. Its first active service was at the battle of Pea Ridge, March 24, 1862; fired the first shot and suffered severely; thence, in June, joined Hovey's raid in an unsuccessful attempt to take Arkansas Post; thence, in December, with Steele's brigade, took part in the fight at Chickasaw Bayou; thence back to Arkansas Post, and were in at its cap- ture; thence to the battle of Jackson; thence to the siege at Vicksburg; thence to the second capture of Jackson; back to Vicksburg; thence to Tuscumbia, having a five days' fight on the way at Cherokee Station; thence to Chattanooga, and on the morning of November 25 opened fire at Lookout Mountain, receiving special commendation for its work from Gen. Hooker. Here it had worn its guns out, and got new 10-pounder Par- rotts. Thence the battery moved to Alabama. It was in many of the hardest fought battles of the war, yet never lost a splinter nor a strap; but its escape was several times accomplished by sheer desperation.

Polk county was represented in this battery as follows:

Henry H. Griffiths, captain, from company E, fourth infantry; mus- tered out August 17, 1864.
