ONE HUNDRED AND NINETEENTHI REGIMENT.
The Seventh Cavalry, One Hundred and Nineteenth Regiment, was mustered at Indianapolis, October 1, 1863, with John P. C. Shanks as Colonel. On December 6, the command, numbering above twelve hundred men, marched toward Louisville, Ky., where upon arrival it was sent by way of Cairo to Union City, Tenn., and assigned to the First Brigade, Sixth Di- vision, Sixteenth Army Corps.
On the 24th of December the Seventh moved with a force under com- mand of Gen. A. J. Smith to cut off the retreat of Forrest from Jackson, Tenn. During that long and dreadful march, the thermometer standing be- low zero, the soldierly bearing and conduct of the officers and men of the reg- iment elicited the praise of the commanding General. At Egypt Station, Mississippi, the rebel rear guard was overtaken, where a sharp fight took place, the regiment sustaining slight loss in killed and wounded. Near Okalona, Miss., on February 22, a severe battle was fought, lasting all day. The Seventh Cavalry had 813 of its members in this engagement. The over- powering forces of the enemy drove the Federals from the field. When the rest of the division had fled, the Seventh Cavalry met and held in check the pursuing and exultant enemy, saved the train, and prevented our utter rout. Late in the evening it made a sabre charge, saved a battery abandoned by its support, was overpowered by numbers, and driven back, compelled to leave sixty of its brave men on the field. The entire loss was II killed, 36 wounded and 37 missing; total, 84. In a desperate fight at Guntown, Miss., on the 10th of June, 1864, the regiment bore an honorable part, losing eight killed, fifteen wounded and seventeen missing, and was complimented by General Grierson for its gallantry upon the field. On the 18th of Au- gust a detachment of the regiment was engaged in a fight at La Mavoo, Mississippi. On the 4th of October seven men of Company "F" were killed by guerillas near Memphis.

HISTORY OF DELAWARE COUNTY
In November the regiment crossed into Arkansas and joined in a move- ment against the rebel General Price, then invading Missouri. At its close it returned to Memphis by way of St. Louis.
On the 21st of December a cavalry expedition under General Grierson moved from Memphis and on the 28th Forrest's dismounted camp at Vernon, Mississippi, was surprised and captured, and a large quantity of rebel stores destroyed, including four thousand new English carbines, and sixteen rail- road cars loaded with pontoons for Hood's army. The enemy was attacked at Egypt Station, his forces captured or dispersed, and a train of fourteen cars destroyed. After this fight the Seventh Cavalry returned to Memphis. Later the regiment was transferred to Louisiana, where, on the 21st of July, 1865, it was consolidated into six companies and supernumerary officers were mustered out. From here it procceded to the state of Texas, where it closed a period of hard and efficient service. In the spring of 1865 a number of its members, while returning from rebel prisons, were lost on the Steamer Sultana.

Nashville the day following, and was assigned to the division commanded by General Hovey. The regiment reached Buzzard's Roost, Georgia, May 8th and took part in a demonstration against the enemy, losing one man killed and two wounded. It joined in the Federal advance towards Atlanta, frequently skirmishing with the enemy, finally taking position near Lost Mountain, where temporary works were constructed, the regiment moving forward in support of the lines under heavy fire of artillery and musketry. On June 23d it advanced close up to the works of the enemy at Kenesaw Mountain, and skirmished with his sharpshooters. Having crossed the Chattahoochee river, the regiment moved with its division on July 22d to the support of General Dodge, and aided in the repulse of the enemy.
In the battle of July 22d, before Atlanta, where the rebel corps of Gen- eral Hardee attacked the Union forces on the left, the regiment, moving with the division to the support of General Dodge, aided in the repulse of the enemy. It shared in the labors and dangers of the siege of Atlanta, and at the close marched in the flank movement which gave possession of that city to Sherman's victorious army.
Following a brief rest in camp, it joined in the pursuit of Hood's army, northward to Gaylesville, Alabama, after which it was moved by rail to Nashville, where it arrived on the 9th of November. From there it marched to Pulaski and took part in the movement made by the army under. General Thomas. Communications with our cavalry having been cut by the enemy, and the line of retreat being imperiled, our forces commenced to fall back. The regiment, with its brigade, covered the roads by which our army was marching to Franklin. At Spring Hill the enemy was encountered, and after a brisk fight, the regiment forced its way through, losing company "C," which was captured. It took part in the engagement at Nashville and joined in the pursuit of Hood's demoralized army.
On the 3rd of January, 1865, the regiment left Columbia, marching to Clifton, where it embarked and proceeded to Cincinnati, thence by rail to Washington City. Then embarking on transports it sailed for North Caro- lina, reaching Newbern on the 28th of February. Upon reaching Wise's Forks the enemy was met in strong force, and made an attack upon our left and center, but after a severe battle he was repulsed and retreated in confusion. The regiment took an active part in this battle. On the 31st of August it was mustered out of service at Greensboro. Leaving for home it arrived at Indianapolis on the toth of September with 532 men and 33 officers under Col. John M. Orr.

Johnson as Colonel, it left, dismounted, for Nashville, Ten- nessee. After one month in camp of instruction it proceeded to Hunts- ville, Alabama, where it did garrison duty until October 15, 1864. On the 30th of November, companies "A," "C," "D," "H," "F" and "I," under command of Colonel Johnson, proceeded to Lavergne, to watch the move- ments of Hood's army. Cut off from the line of retreat, they retired to Murfreesboro, reporting to General Rousseau, under whose direction they participated in the battles of Overall's Creek, Wilkinson's Pike and differ- ent skirmishes with the enemy, with a loss of sixty-five killed and wounded and two men missing, from three hundred and twenty-five present for duty. During the same period companies "B," "E," "G," "K," "L" and "M," under command of Lieut .- Colonel Pepper, participated, dismounted, in the battle of Nashville, immediately after which they were joined by the other six companies from Murfreesboro. Newly armed and remounted, the regi- ment was assigned to the Second Brigade, Seventh Division of the Cavalry Corps of the Military Division of the Mississippi, Colonel Johnson com- manding the brigade. On the 11th of February it embarked for New Orleans, and from thence proceeded to participate in the operations against . Mobile. After the fall of the city, the regiment marched with General Grierson on a raid of 800 miles through Alabama, Georgia and Mississippi, arriving at Columbus, Miss., May 22, 1865. Thence they moved to Macon, Miss., garrisoning that post, and the line of railroad sixty miles in extent, and taking charge of immense stores of captured commissary and quarter- master supplies and ordnance and ordnance stores.
It was mustered out of service on the 18th of November, 1865, and left for Indianapolis, reaching there on November 25, with twenty-three officers and six hundred and thirty-three men.
