FIRST CAVALRY.


The First Cavalry Regiment raised, and tendered to the Government, by joint resolution of the State Legislature, at the extra session, was in the spring of 1861. It was accepted June 13, 1861, making it the oldest vol- unteer regiment in the service. It was ordered to Benton Barracks, St. Louis, October 15, 1861, and immediately after to the interior of the State, to look after guerrillas who infested that section. From November of, that year, to the following March, the regiment was constantly on the move, and no regiment ever did greater service or covered more territory. So brilliant, quick and effective were their movements, the guerrillas soon gave them a wide berth wherever they went. In March, 1862, it was or-

dered to Sedalia, and for several months was divided into small detach- ments, scouring the country. July 9th the noted guerrilla Chief, Quantrell, was met in Cass county, and after a severe, sharp and short contest, he took to the brush, from which he was quickly driven out. In Angust it re- turned to Sedalia, and was frequently sent out, at night, making long and rapid dashes. In December, at Prairie Grove, it showed its fighting qual- ities, under great disadvantages. December 27th it started with the ex- pedition of General Blunt, to Van Buren, Arkansas, and participated in its capture on the 28th, when it returned to Prairie Grove. The year 1863 was but a repetition of the first year. The presence of the regiment will be remembered at Huntsville, Dry Fork, Crooked Creek, Kingston, Yellville, Finley Fork, Mountain Grove, Pilot Knob and Jackson, the lat- ter being the celebrated midnight attack April 26, 1863. In June, 1863, it was supplied with new and improved equipment, and joined the Little Rock Expedition. Up to that date, scarcely two men were equipped alike, but each had what he could get, from a musket to a pocket pistol. At Bayou Metoe, it, as a whole regiment, engaged the enemy, and, as usual, was in the front, and made a most successful charge. November and De- cember was passed at Little Rock, doing post duty, meanwhile executing several brilliant skirmishing movements, in one of which 260 men sud- denly came upon the enemy, in strong position, near Princeton, 800 strong. With a dash, they were ronted, and several captured. This closed the work of 1863, and early in 1864 they were entitled to a veteran furlough, but, waiving the right, joined Steele's command, on the Camden Expedi- tion, which was, owing to the rigor of winter, a severe one. It engaged the enemy at Spoonville March 30th; at Antoine April 2, in a five miles' running fight; at Little Missouri River, April 4, routing Price's Army. Arriving at Camden, it was accorded the honor of being first to enter. Here the regiment took its furlongh, sold their horses, but retained their arms. They marched to Jenkin's Ferry, and by way of diversion assisted in scooping the enemy at that point, April 30. The non-veterans re- mained at Little Rock. The veterans came home, arriving May 17. June 30th found them again on the war path, and at Benton Barracks they were again mounted, and, July 27th, sent to Mexico and other points, operating against Price until December, when they went to Little Rock, where they scouted until February 20, 1865, when they moved to Memphis, to operate against Forrest's guerrillas, meeting them successfully at Tallahatchie. They remained at Memphis until the Confederacy collapsed, when they were ordered to join General Custer, at Alexandria, La., and started Au- gust 8. The regiment will probably never forget this movement. They were shamefully treated.


General Custer, by his infamous General Order No. 15, inherited the lasting hate of the entire regiment. The regiment arrived at Hempstead Aug. 26, withont rations, barefooted and nearly naked, few blankets and no supplies. While there, says Lieutenant-Colonel McQueen, the regiment pnt in its time vainly " endeavoring to obey a series of voluminous, threatening and conflicting orders, general and special, and individual instructions, with as little prospect of success as an attempt to make a rope of sand." Gen. Custer treated the regiment as though they were a gang of thieves and desperadoes. Three days after arriving at Hempstead, five days' rations were given them, consisting of hogs' jowles, ornamented with tusks five inches long, and hard bread, spiced with maggots. Those who had


569

money, in violation of Order 15, and at the risk of condign punishment, purchased food, while those who had no money robbed the half-starved horses of their small pittance of poor corn. To complete the infamy of Order 15, all mail matter was ordered sent through the office of the Provost Marshal for that district, Gen. Custer probably being assured that the men would resist such treatment, and it is a significant fact that the regiment received no mail while there. But they found a way to the ear of the authorities at Washington, and the infamous orders were revoked. Octo- ber 29. the regiment moved to Austin, where it was permitted to behave like soldiers and gentlemen. Here they remained while in the service, going out in detachments, to preserve order, protect the conrts, and aid in reconstructing the machinery of the Federal Government. The regiment had during its service four different colonels, Fitz Henry Warren, James Otis Gower, Daniel Anderson, William Thompson. It was mustered out February 18, 1866, and disbanded at Davenport March 13, having been five years in service, with the record of being equal in discipline and drill to the best "regulars."

SECOND CAVALRY.


The Second Cavalry was organized in August, 1861, mustered in Aug. 30, and began its active operations at Bird's Point, where it arrived Feb. 19, 1862. On the 27th it began the pursuit of Jeff. Thompson's army toward New Madrid, scattering his forces in all directions. Its principal service was in Tennessee, Northern Alabania, and Mississippi, and under its gallant colonel (Hatch) acquired an enviable reputation for its dash and heroism. During the summer of 1862 it was attached to the cavalry brig- ade of Gen. Phil. Sheridan, with headquarters at Rienzie, Miss. In Novem- ber it moved to La Grange, Tennessee, and from that point moved out with Grierson on his wonderful raid through Mississippi, to destroy railroads, bridges and property, to create a diversion in favor of the ariny moving to the attack of Vicksburg; the Second being detailed to make a feint in another direction to draw the enemy away from the main movement, and the enemy attacked it as though they believed it were the main column. The Second carried consternation with it, and fought right and left. It started with seventy rounds of ammunition, and had two left on getting to camp. It had 250 horses, worn down with fatigue; they broke down the second day. Train mules and borrowed mules were taken to remount the men. On arriving at camp the mules were returned and the men re- mounted. Fifty prisoners were taken, one hundred of the enemy wounded, and the barracks, stores and ammunition for 5,000 men destroyed.
