Second Cavalry Regiment - Three years' service.
This regiment was raised from various parts of the state and was mustered into the United States' service at Camp Butler, Aug. 12th, 1861, Col. Silas Noble commanding. As only company D of this regiment figures prominently in soldiers from Madison county, we shall confine this brief history to the movements of this company.
It was raised at Upper Alton by Capt. Franklin B. Moore (afterwards promo- ted to Maj ) as an independent Cavalry company, and was named the " Madison County Rangers." Its organization dates from the memorable national holi- day, July 4th, 1861. The first of August following the company was or- dered to Camp Butler where it was as company D of the 2d regiment of the Illinois cavalry. In November the reg- iment was stationed at Cairo, Illinois, and company D was detailed by the Thompson, John E. offieer commanding to report at Cape Girardeau, Mo. to look after guerrilla bands under Jeff. Thompson. It was here that they first saw service. They were almost continually in the saddle scouting after the guerrillas, having hot skirmishes, and succeeded in taking several of them prisoners. From this time forth the history of the company was a series of continued scouting and fighting until the expiration of the time of its enlistment. It had no particular abiding place, but operated from the northern borders of the Confederacy to the Gulf. It stood pre-eminently first in its services for the Union cause, and in justice should have appeared on the regi- mental roll as company A. None in the service experienced greater hardships, or made a better record than company D Indeed, the county may be proud of the valorous deeds of the " Madison County Rangers," as the following record will demonstrate. This company alone, took over 1,200 prisoners, killed more than 100 of the enemy, and cap- tured about 1,000 mules and horses, be-
stores and munitions of war. They once
swam New River, twice swam the Hat- James Fortiner, vet., trans to Co. C. (as con- solidated), must'd out Nov. 22, 1865.

Captaiu Moore Privates. was promoted to the office of Major, May 3d, 1864. IIe now resides at Upper Alton, and takes pleasure in talking over the scenes of camp life.
