THIRTY-SEVENTH INFANTRY.
The Thirty-seventh Infantry was the well-known "Grey-Beard Regi- ment," from the fact that it was composed of men over 45 years of age. It was organized under special orders of the War Department, to give oppor- tunity to that class of patriotic citizens who were too old to endure the fatigue of long marches and exposure of active field service, nevertheless were desirous of rendering the Nation some service. It was, therefore, pro- vided that the regiment should be detailed only for post and garrison duty. Its history, therefore, is not brilliant, yet it performed valuable and

effective service. It was stationed at St. Louis, Alton, Memphis, Cincin- nati, and Rock Island. In July, 1864, a detachment of fifty men were sent as guard on a supply train over the Memphis & Charleston Railroad. On the way the train was fired into by bushwhackers concealed in the brush, and two men were killed. The result was that forty of the most prominent citizens of that section were arrested, and each day twenty of them were placed on the cars in the most conspicuous places, and thus were the rebels made to do gnard duty. This plan was continued until the attack on trains ceased. The regiment was organized in October, 1862; mnstered into the United States service December 15, 1862, and mustered out at Davenport, May 24, 1865. The casualties will be found on page 184.

FIRST CAVALRY.
The First Cavalry regiment was raised, and tendered to the government by joint resolution of the State legislature, at the extra session, 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 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 ordered to Sedalia, and for several months was divided into small detachments, scouring the country. July 9th the noted guerrilla chief, Quantrell, was met in Cass county, and after a severc, sharp and short contest, he took to the brush, from which he was quickly driven out. In August it returned to Sedalia, and was frequently sent out at night, making long and rapid dashes. In December, at Prairie Grove, it showed. its fighting qualities, under great disadvantages. December 27th it started with the expedition 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 Hunts- ville, Dry Fork, Crooked Creek, Kingston, Yellville, Finley Fork, Moun- tain Grove, Pilot Knob and Jackson, the latter being the celebrated mid- night 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 Bayon Metoe, it, as a whole reg- ment, first engaged the enemy, and, as usual, was in the front, and made a most successful charge. November and December were passed at Little Rock, doing post duty, meanwhile executing several brilliant skirmishing movements, in one of which 260 men suddenly came upon the enemy, in

strong position, near Princeton, 800 strong. With a dash they were routed, and several captured. This closed the work of 1863, and in 1864 they were entitled to a veteran furlongh, but, waiving the right, joined Steele's command, on the Camden expedition, which was, owing to the rigor of winter, a severe one. It engaged the enemy at Spoonville, March 30; 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 furlough, sold their horses, but retained their arms. They marched to that point, and by way of diversion assisted in scooping the enemy at Jenkins' Ferry, April 30. The non-veterans remained at Little Rock. The veterans came home, arriving May 17. Jnne 30 found them again on the war path, and at Benton Barracks they were again mounted, and, July 27, 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 Forest's guerrillas, meeting them successfully at Tallahatchie. They remained at Memphis until the Con- federacy collapsed, when they were ordered to join general Custer, at Alex- andria, La., and started Angust 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 Angust 26, withont rations, barefooted and nearly naked, few blankets and mo supplies. While there, says Lieutenant-colonel McQueen, the regi- ment put in its time vainly " endeavoring to obey a series of voluminous, threatening and conflicting orders, general and special, and individual in- structions, with as little prospect of success as an attempt to make a rope of sand." General 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 hog's jowles, ornamented with tusks five inches long, and hard bread, spiced with maggots. Those who had money, in violation of order 15, and at the risk of condign punish- ment, 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 Pro- vost Marshal for the district, General 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. October 29 the regiment inoved to Austin, where it was permitted to be- have like soldiers and gentlemen. Here they remained while in the ser- vice, going out in detachments to preserve order, protect the courts, and aid in reconstructing the machinery of the Federal government. The reg- iment had during its service, four different colonels, Fitz Henry Warren,. James Otis Gower, Daniel Anderson, William Thompson. It was mus- tered out February 15, 1866, at Austin, Texas, and disbanded at Daven- port, March 13, having been five years in service, with the record of being equal in discipline and drill to the best " regulars."
The casualities of the regiment will be found on page 184.

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 state 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. For casualties see page 184.
