SEVENTEENTH CAVALRY.
The Seventeenth Regiment Illinois Volunteer Cavalry was organized under special authority from the War De- partment, issned Aug. 12, 1863, to Hon. John F. Farns- worth. The rendezvous was established at St. Charles, Kane County, Illinois. By the approval of the Governor of the State, the Colonelcy of the regiment was offered John L. Beveridge, then Major in the Eighth Illinois Cavalry, who assumed the work of recruitment and organization, and opened the rendezvous Nov. 15, 1863. Eight com- panies were mustered in Jan. 22, 1864. Four other com- panies were mustered in and the organization of the regi- ment completed Feb. 12, 1804. The regiment was sent to Jefferson Barracks, Mo., where 1,100 sets of horse equip- ments were received. From there it moved to Alton, Ill., and relieved : he Thirteenth Illinois Cavalry in guarding the Military Prison at that place.
Early in June following, the First Battalion was ordered to St. Louis, and the Second Battalion followed immedi- ately. Both being fully mounted, were ordered at once to North Missouri District. The First Battalion, Lient. Col. Dennis J. Ilynes commanding, proceeded to St. Joseph, Mo., where the commanding officer reported in person to Gen. Fisk, commanding District of North Mis- souri. The Second Battalion, Major Lucius C. Matlack commanding, was assigned by Gen. C. B. Fisk to the post at Glasgow, Mo. From this period, for four months, the
three battalions were separate and remote from each other, and so extended were their movements that it is impossible to follow them in this brief sketch. They seem to have been all over Missouri after Price's and Jeff. Thompson's guerrilla bands, following them in Kansas and Arkansas, doing most efficient service.
