The Eighty-fourth Regiment was raised in the Fifth Dis- triet, and mustered in at Richmond September 3, 1862, with Nelson Trusler, Colonel. Its first work was to aid in the defense of Cincinnati from the legions of Kirby Smith. Buell's army made the Confederate hosts to fall back, and the regiment was sent to Western Virginia, camping at Point Pleasant, Guyandotte, Catlettsburg and Cassville; at the latter place nearly three months. February 7, 1863, the Eighty-fourth sailed down the Ohio to Louisville, and thence to Nashville, encamping there until March 5. Thence they moved to Franklin, camping again until the 3d of June. Its times of encampment were occupied with scouting, reconnnoissanees, skirmishes, and the like.
June 3. they marched to Triune. They were attacked June 11, but without success, by the rebels. Thence they marched through Shelbyville to Wartrace, encamping until August 12, and thenee to Tullahoma and to Stevenson, Bridgeport and Chat. tanooga, arriving September 13. Camping at Rossville until the 18th, the regiment marched to the front and were posted on the left of the army of the Cumberland.
The Eighty- fourth was in the battle of Chickamanga both days, fighting bravely and losing heavily. Holding the key to Rose- crans' retreat, that division stood stubbornly and saved the army. The regiment was on picket duty opposite Lookout Mountain nine days and nights, and theu moved to Moccasin Point and then to Shell Mound, remaining there until January 20, 1864. The Eighty-fourth was transferred to the Second Brigade, First Division, Fourth Army Corps. The regiment marched to Cleveland, reaching the place February 6; thence on the the 22d to Buzzard's Roost, fighting there on the 25th. Returning to Cleveland, they stayed until the 3d of May, 1864. Sherman was now ready to march and fight his stubborn way to Atlanta, "the gateway of the South," and the Eighty-fourth was with him all the time, aud were engaged in fifteen battles during that terrible summer, marching triumphantly at the last into the conquered city of Atlanta. After this campaign, the Fourth Corps was ordered back to the Army of the Tennessee;

and they marched by way of Athens, Pulaski and Franklin to Nashville, fighting in the furious battle of Franklin on the way. Reaching Nashville December 1, they had barely time for a short respite before Thomas burst forth upon Hood with resist- less power, scattering Hood's army to the winds. Our troops pursued for a long way, and returned at last.
Encamping at Huntsville, where it had ended its pursuit of Hood, the troops remained there until March 13, moving thence to Knoxville, Strawberry Plains, Bull's Gap and Shield's Mills.

The Ninetieth (Fifth Cavalry) Regiment was made up at dif- ferent times. -
Four companies were mustered in August, live in September and three in October, 1862.
The companies were sent to different places, C and F to Car- rollton, Ky .. and I to Rising Sun. Ind. ; the others to the coun- ties on the Ohio River.
A and G were stationed at Newburg, B at Rockport, D and L at Mauckport, E and H at Cannelton, K at Mount Vernon, and M at Evansville.
The whole regiment was united at Glasgow, Ky., in March, 1863, and were kept scouting and skirmishing on the Cumber- land River. The regiment spent much of their time in Middle and Eastern Tennessee until February, 1864, engaging in ex ceedingly active, laborious and dangerous service, fighting many battles, some of them severe and fatal.
July 4, 1863, it started in pursuit of the rebel Gen. Morgan, then crossing the Cumberland.
They marched to Louisville, and were sent up the Ohio on steamers te Portsmouth.
July 19, 1863, the regiment headed Morgan's forces at Buf- fington's Island, and fought them there, scattering the rebels in every direction, killing and capturing many, an:l taking also five pieces of artillery.
They returned to Louisville, and August 15 started for East Tennessee, crossing the Cumberland Mountains, and being the first Federal regiment to enter Knoxville.
In May. 1864, they crossed the mountains to Tunuel Hill, Ga., arriving May 12, 1864, and joining Gen. Stoneman. On the "Stoneman Raid," the Fifth Cavalry, after bravely holding the enemy in cheek for the escape of the main body, were sur- rendered to the enemy against the vigorous protest of Cel. But- ler, their commander.
These poor men were doomed to the horrors of Andersonville and other prisons only less abominable and deadly. The sad tale of their sufferings may be guessed by the terrible fact that 115 of their number died in prison.
The part of the regiment not captured remained at Atlanta after its surrender. performing guard duty until September 13.
1864, and they were then transferred to Kentucky, being at the time serving as infantry.
The regiment was at length mounted anew, and January 17, 1865, was sent from Louisville to Pulaski, Tenn. Here they scouted, captured bushwhackers and outlaws until June 16, 1865. The muster out then took place, and they were welcomed at In- dianapolis June 21. 1865, at the Capital grove.
