Fourth Cavalry (Seventy-seventh) Regiment. -The Fourth Cavalry Regiment was organized at Indianapolis on the 22d of August, 1862, with Isaae P. Gray as colonel. On the completion of its organi- zation the aspect of affairs in Kentucky was so threat- ening that four companies, the regiment having been divided, were sent, under the command of Maj. John A. Platter, to Henderson, Ky., and the remaining companies to Louisville, from whence they were or- dered into the interior, where they were joined by Col. Gray.
The battalion under the command of Maj. Platter had a skirmish at Madisonville, Ky., on the 26th of August, and again at Mount Washington on the 1st of October, in which a number were killed and wounded. On the 5th it was engaged again at Mad- isonville, with a slight loss. In the spring of 1863 this battalion joined the other companies.
During the invasion of Bragg, a part of the regi- ment, under Col. Gray, was camped at Madison, moving from there to Vevay, then across the river to Frankfort, Ky., remaining here until about the 1st of December, when they started in the pursuit of Morgan, defeating him, on Christmas, at Mumfords- ville, with a slight loss. From here, in January, 1863, a movement was made into East Tennessee,

where the regiment was united and assigned to the army of Rosecrans, and on the 19th and 20th of September participated in the battle of Chickamauga, and a small engagement on the 23d, and also on the 1st of November at Fayetteville. During the winter of 1863-64 the regiment was in East Tennessee, having engagements at Mossy Creek, Talbot's, and Dundridge, and on the 27th of January, 1864, a severe fight at Fair Garden. Capt. Rosecranz, of Company F, with Second Battalion of the Fourth Cavalry, dismounted, made a charge, with the Second Indiana and First Wisconsin Cavalry, also dis- mounted. Maj. Purdy, with the First Battalion, supported by Lilly's Eighteenth Indiana Battery, made a sabre charge on a rebel battery, being led by Lient .- Col. Leslie, who was killed in the charge, and captured the battery and more prisoners than they had men, and suffered but little loss.
The regiment in Mareh moved to Cleveland, Tenn., then to Atlanta in May, having skirmishcs at Var- nell's Station on the 9th, at Burnt Church on the 2d of June, and at Newnan on the 31st of July.

ing until June 24th, when it left and went to Tulla- homa; then to Manehester, McMinnville, and Pike- ville. On the 1st of September it moved toward Chattanooga, crossing the Tennessce River at Bridge- port on the 6th, Lookout Mountain on the 9th, going through Rossville and Rioggold to Lee and Gordon's Mills. On the 13th was a heavy skirmish, and on the 19th and 20th the battle of Chickamauga, where one was killed, forty wounded, and thirteen missing, and where the First Virginia Battery of Longstreet's corps was captured. It then fell back with the army to Chattanooga.
Upon reorganization the Seventy-ninth was as- signed to the Third Brigade, Third Division, Fourth Army Corps. On the 23d of November the regi- ment was in the movement against Bragg, when the celebrated battles of Lookout Mountain and Mission Ridge occurred. During this time the Eighty-sixth Indiana Regiment was attached to the Seventy-ninth, under Col. Knefler, and this consolidated force led the column which stormed and captured Mission Ridge, being the first to plant the colors on the enemy's works, and captured eleven pieces of artillery and several hundred prisoners, its loss being small. It took part iu the movement which began on the 27th towards Knoxville, to relieve Gen. Burnside, arriving there on the 6th of December.
During the following four months they remained in East Tennessee, suffering much from exposure and want of supplies, and participating in many minor expeditions, those at Strawberry Plains, New Market, Mossy Creek, Clineh Valley, a cavalry expedition to Thornhill, and others. In April, 1864, they had ten days' rest at Chattanooga, the first in ten months.
