The escort of General Blunt was attacked at Baxter Springs, Mis- souri, on the 6th of October, 1863. The guerrillas were led by Quantrill and the battle was a massacre and is known in history as the Baxter Springs Massacre. The regiment arrived at Fort Smith on the 3rd of December, 1863, where its organization was completed. It remained at Fort Smith until February, 1864, when it was sent on an expedition into the Choctaw country under Major J. G. Brown.
It was ordered to form a junction with Colonel Phillips at North Fork Town, from which place the united force was to march to Boggy Depot, Chickasaw Nation. At North Fork Town orders were received for six companies under Major Brown to return to Fort Smith. This force was sent down the Arkansas river to Ozark, Arkansas.
On the 6th it marched on the Camden expedition and was in the battle of Prairie D'Ane.
A detachment of seventy men of the Fourteenth was under Colonel Phillips when attacked at Poison Spring. Arkansas, by several thou- sand of the enemy, and escaped only after a heroie resistance.
On January 1st, 1865, the Fourteenth was ordered to Clarksville, Arkansas, to protect the navigation of the Arkansas River and disperse desperate bands of guerrillas in that vicinity. On the 17th, two steam- boats, the Chippewa and Annie Jacobs, having a large number of refu- gees and several companies of soldiers on board, were attacked by a rebel force at Roseville, below Fort Smith. The Chippewa was cap- tured and destroyed. The Annie Jacobs was disabled but succeeded in gaining the north shore. A third boat was attacked but also suc- ceeded in gaining the north shore, where all escaped except seven killed and some wounded. A detachment of the Fourteenth remained with the disabled steamboats until the Annie Jacobs was repaired and made ready for serviee.
The Fourteenth was transferred to the Second Brigade, Seventh Army Corps, and ordered to report at Pine Bluff, for which point it embarked on the 25th of February, 1865. It arrived at Pine Bluff on the 27th and was in service there until May, when it was ordered to Fort Gibson.
On the 25th of June, 1865, the Fourteenth was ordered to Law- renee, Kansas, to be mustered out. It was finally discharged on the 20th of August, 1865.

November. Two companies were then assigned to duty in the City of Leavenworth. One company was sent to Paola and another to Fort Scott. Later the other companies were distributed along the posts of the border.
In 1864 Colonel Jeunison was ordered to Mound City and placed in command of the First Sub-district of Southern Kansas. Upon the appearance of General Price in Missouri, in 1864, the various com- panies of the regiment were reassembled, and the Fifteenth was made a part of the First Brigade under command of Colonel Jennison.

Being organized at so late a period. the Sixteenth did not see much active service. It was in the battle of the Big Blue, and was a part of the force which pursued General Price.
A detachment of this regiment was sent to the Plains under Col- onel Samuel Walker, where it performed post and escort duty.

The Sixteenth contained many veterans and was composed of as good material as any Kansas regnnent. It was unfortunate in not having an opportunity to show its fighting qualities.
SEVENTEENTH KANSAS VOLUNTEER INFANTRY
The Seventeenth Kansas Volunteer Infantry was organized under the President's eall of April 23, 1864. It was mustered into service on the 28th of July, at Fort Leavenworth, under the following field and staff .

The first duty of the 17th was as a garrison at Fort Leavenworth. The regiment was soon divided into detachments and sent to Fort Riley, Lawrence, and Cottonwood Falls. It was ordered to Paola in September. 1864, and did good service in the Price raid.
It was mustered out November 16th, 1864.
EIGHTEENTH KANSAS VOLUNTEER BATTALION
This Battalion was commanded by Major Horace L. Moore of Law- rence, who had been Lieutenant-Colonel of the Fourth Arkansas Cavalry. The Battalion uumbered three hundred and fifty-eight. It was recruited to protect the frontier from Indian attacks, and was organized in July, 1867.
On the 21st of August, 1867, a force of Indians, reported eight hun- dred strong, attacked the Tenth Cavalry on the Republican River. The troops were forced to fall back to the vicinity of Fort Harker. On the 30th of August, Major Moore met a portion of this Indian band and de- feated it. The Eighteenth was actively engaged in the Indian service until the 15th of November, when it was mustered out of the service.
NINETEENTH KANSAS VOLUNTEER CAVALRY
The Indian troubles on the border continued through the year 1868. The Nineteenth Kansas Volunteer Cavalry was mustered into service October 20, 1868, under the following field and staff :
Colonel, Samuel J. Crawford ; Lieutenant-Colonel, Horace L. Moore : Major, William C. Jones; Adjutant, James M. Steele : Surgeon, Mahlon Bailey ; Quartermaster, Luther A. Thrasher, all of Topeka.

KANSAS AND KANSANS
It has already been stated in this work that Colonel Crawford resigned as Governor of Kansas to organize the Nineteenth for the defense of the frontier. The regiment contained 1,200 men. It left Topeka November 5, 1868, for the Indian country. On the 14th it crossed the Arkansas River, and on the 28th joined General Sheridan on the North Canadian.
The day before this junction had been formed, the Indians had been attacked on the Washita by General George A. Custer. The Indians were commanded by Black Kettle and other chiefs. They were defeated by General Custer. General Sheridan's force pursued the Indians, com- pelling them to surrender on the 24th of December. They gave up many captives.
After the campaign, the Nineteenth Kansas returned to Fort Hays, in March, 1869, and were mustered out at that place on the 18th of April.
FIRST KANSAS COLORED VOLUNTEER INFANTRY
This was one of the first colored regiments organized in the Civil War. In August, 1862, General James H. Lane, appointed Captain James H. Williams of the Fifth Kansas Cavalry, Recruiting Commissioner for that part of the State lying north of the Kansas River, and Captain H. C. Seaman, for that part of Kansas lying south of the river. They raised a colored regiment. Within sixty days, five hundred men had been secured, but there was some opposition to their being mustered into the United States service. They were, however, mustered on the 13th of January, 1863. Before they were mustered, they had been attacked by the rebels under Colonel Cochran, but gave a good account of themselves.
During the winter of 1863, four companies were added and the regi- ment was organized on the 2nd of May, 1863, with the following field and staff :
Colonel, James M. Williams; Lieutenant-Colonel, John Bowles : Major, Richard G. Ward; Adjutant, Richard J. Hinton ; Quartermaster, Elijah Hughes; Surgeon, Samuel C. Harrington; Chaplain, George W. Hutchingson.
The regiment saw much service during the war. The Confederate government was much opposed to the enlistment of colored men by the Federal Government, and passed barbarous laws, prescribing punishment of those who should be captured. In reply to these laws, President Lin- coln issued his order on the 30th of April, 1863, ordering "that for every soldier of the United States killed in violation of the rules of war, a rebel shall be executed; and for every one enslaved by the enemy or sold into slavery, a rebel soldier shall be placed at hard labor on public works, and continued at such labor until the other shall be released and receive the treatment due a prisoner of war."
On the 27th of June, 1863, the First Kansas Colored Volunteer Infan- try was made a part of the escort of a valuable train of supplies from Fort Scott to Fort Gibson. This train and escort were attacked at Cabin Creek, July 1, 1863, by General Cooper and some Indian forces. The Union troops saved the train and proceeded with them to Fort Gibson, where it arrived on the 5th of July.

KANSAS AND KANSANS
On the 17th of July the regiment bore an honorable part in the battle of Honey Springs south of Fort Gibson.
The regiment had part in the movements of the Union troops about Fort Smith, operating much on the Arkansas River and about Camden, Arkansas. This regiment never failed to give a good account of itself in. any battle they served in which it was engaged.
SECOND KANSAS COLORED VOLUNTEER INFANTRY
This regiment was organized in October, 1863, at Fort Smith, Arkan- sas, under the following field and staff :
Colonel, Samuel J. Crawford, Garnett ; Lieutenant-Colonel, Horatio Knowles; Major, James H. Gillpatrick, Junction City; Adjutant, John R. Montgomery, Little Rock, Ark .; Quartermaster, Edwin Stokes, Clin- ton; Surgeon, George W. Walgamott, Lawrence; Chaplain, Josiah B. McAfee, Topeka.
This was a famous regiment. It performed long, arduous and bril- liant service. Its stand at Jenkins Ferry, Arkansas, was not surpassed in bravery by any troops in the service of the United States. For a com- plete account of the service of this regiment, students are referred to Kansas in the Sixties, by Governor Samuel J. Crawford.
FIRST KANSAS VOLUNTEER BATTERY
The First Kansas Volunteer Battery was mustered into service July 24, 1861, under the following field and staff. Captain, Thomas Bicker- ton ; First Lieutenant, Norman Allen, both of Lawrence; Second Lieuten- ant, Hartson R. Brown; First Sergeant, John B. Cook, Auburn; Second Sergeant, Shelby Sprague, Prairie City ; Corporal, John S. Gray, Mound City.
It at that time, numbered about 50 artillerymen. Many recruits were added in the early part of 1862. This battery was at the battle of Prairie Grove, and rendered good service there. It was at Rolla, Missouri, July 9, 1863, on which day it departed for St. Louis.
Lientenant Norman Allen was promoted February 25, 1862, to the rank of Captain. He died of pneumonia at St. Louis, July 10, 1863. The battery was then commanded by Lieutenant Thomas Taylor, Lieutenant H. R. Brown having been mustered out February 15th. The following is the summary of this Battery made by the Adjutant General.
Directly succeeding this (the death of Capt. Allen), they were ordered to Indiana, and took an active part in capturing Morgan's guerrilla band, then on their celebrated raid through that State. After this, they were ordered to St. Louis, and subsequently to Columbus. Ky. They served with distinction in all the principal actions in which the armies of the Tennessee and Mississippi were engaged, and their numbers were greatly reduced by the casualties of war, and by disease.
The battery was mustered out at Leavenworth, July 17, 1865.

SECOND KANSAS VOLUNTEER BATTERY
The Second Kansas Volunteer Battery was organized under the direc- tion of Major C. W. Blair, of the Second Kansas Cavalry. The organiza- tion was completed in September, 1862, and on the 19th of that month it was mustered at Fort Scott, with the following field and staff :
Charles W. Blair, Fort Scott, commanding; First Lieutenant, Edward A. Smith; First Lieutenant, David C. Knowles; Second Lieutenant, An- drew G. Clark, all of Fort Scott; Second Lieutenant, Aristarchus Wilson, Mapleton; First Sergeant, William Requa, Mount Gilead ; Quartermaster Sergeant, William H. Boyd, Mansfield.
Its entire force at that time numbered 123 officers and men. Its equipment was two twelve-pounder field howitzers and four six-pounder guns. It was assigned to the First Brigade, First Division, Army of the Frontier.
On the 13th of September, a section of this battery was taken by General Solomon into Missouri. It was in all the movements of the pur- suit of General Hindman, and was at Pea Ridge on the 18th of October.
When General Blunt moved on Cane Hill the battery was left to guard supply trains at Lindsay's Prairie. From there it went to Rhea's Mills, from which point it was ordered to Fort Scott, reaching that point on the 3rd of December, and remaining until the 10th of May, 1863.
A portion of this battery was stationed at Baxter Springs in May, 1863. On the 24th of June it was ordered to Fort Smith.
It was in the battle of Honey Springs and was at Fort Gibson until the 22nd of August.
In November, 1863, the battery was ordered to Fort Smith. Here four ten-pounder Parrott were added to its equipment. The battery re- mained at Fort Smith until June, 1864.
This battery rendered fine service and saw much hardship. It was discharged on the 15th of August, 1865, at Leavenworth.
TILIRD KANSAS VOLUNTEER BATTERY
The Third Kansas Volunteer Battery was first made up as a cavalry company by Henry Hopkins and John F. Aduddell. It was known as Company B. Second Kansas Cavalry, and its officers were Henry Hopkins, Captain; John F. Aduddell, First Lieutenant ; Oscar F. Dun- lap, Second Lieutenant. It was first designed to send this battery to New Mexico, but that expedition was abandoned.
The battery marched to Fort Larned, from which point it marched to rejoin its regiment at Dry Wood, where it arrived September 23, 1862.
A rebel battery was captured at Old Fort Wayne, October 20, 1862. Company B was detached from the Second Kansas Cavalry to man this captured battery, which was afterward known as Hopkins' Kansas Battery. At the time of capture it consisted of four guns. Three of these were six-pounders, and one a twelve-pounder howitzer. The
900
KANSAS AND KANSANS
battery was in the battle of Cane Hill. It was also at the battle of Prairie Grove. It was in the pursuit of Hindman to Van Buren. It was then transferred to the Third Brigade, under Colonel Cloud. Later it was transferred to the Indian Brigade under Col. William A. Phillips.
The battery was in the engagements at Cabin Creek and Honey Springs. It went into camp at Van Buren, Arkansas, September 2, 1863. October 1, 1863, it was organized into a permanent battery of light artillery, and known as the Third Kansas Battery.
A detachment of the battery was sent to Little Rock. The commis- sioned officers and the men whose terms of enlistment had expired were mustered out on the 19th of January, 1865, at Leavenworth. The remainder of the battery was detained at Little Rock until the 21st of July, 1865, and mustered out on the 11th of August, at Leavenworth.
HOLLISTER'S BATTERY
Orders were received at Fort Leavenworth, May 22, 1862, to detail 150 non-commissioned officers and privates from the Second Kansas Cavalry, to man a battery of six-pounder Parrott guns. The officers assigned were as follows: Henry Hopkins, Captain, from Company B; R. H. Hunt, First Lieutenant, from Company I; J. B. Rankin, Sec- ond Lieutenant, from Company H; Joseph Cracklin, Second Lieuten- ant. He had been the Second Battery Adjutant. The name of the battery was then changed from Hollister's to Hopkins.
On the 28th of May it went. aboard a steamboat and proceeded to Columbus, Kentucky, where it arrived June 6th. In July it was assigned to Rosecrans' Army.
In August, Captain Hopkins, First Lieutenant Hunt, and Second Lieutenant Cracklin, were ordered to rejoin their regiments in Kan- sas. The men were then mounted and attached to General Sheridan's brigade. On the 17th of August they were transferred to General Mitchell's command, at Iuka. These troops moved to join General Buell on the 18th of August. They passed through Florence ( Ala- bama), Columbia, Franklin, and Trinne, to Murfreesboro, Tenn. From there they moved to Nashville.
They were in the battle of Perryville, on September 28th.
The detachment was in the pursuit of Morgan.
In 1862 all detachments were ordered to report to their respective regiments and commanders. Pursuant to this order this detachment arrived at Fort Leavenworth, October 26, 1862.
INDIAN REGIMENTS
Many of the Five Civilized Tribes remained loyal to the Union dur- ing the Civil war. Hundreds of these loyal Indians were compelled to leave their tribes because of the hostilities of their brethren at the instigation of the Southern Confederaey. General Albert Pike made
901
KANSAS AND KANSANS
treaties with these tribes by which they attempted to take their ter- ritory into the Southern Confederacy. Many of the Indians, in pur- suance of this treaty, enlisted in the Southern armies. These made war on those who wished to remain loyal to the Union. They became refugees in Southern Kansas, assembling mostly in the country of the Osages, the majority of whom remained loyal. The Government author- ized the organization of Indian regiments of these refugees and any other loyal Indians desiring to enlist in the Union army. The Indian regiments were officered by Kansas soldiers. There were Indians from all of the Five Civilized Tribes in these regiments. It is possible that the Cherokees furnished more recruits than any other tribe.
Soon after the Cherokees settled in the country now embraced in Oklahoma, a Baptist mission was established among them by a Rev. Mr. Jones. The mission was near the Arkansas line, and not far from the town of Cincinnati, Arkansas. Jones taught the Indians, princi- pally full-blood Cherokees, anti-slavery sentiments. When one was converted to the belief against slavery, he was given a pin or badge to wear. These came to be known as "Pin Indians," from the fact that they wore these distinctive pins. In the Civil War, a "Pin Indian" was a loyal Indian. In the annals of the Civil War will be found many references to Pin Indians, and it was believed necessary to state here the origin of the name.
The field and staff of each of the three Indian regiments is set out :

PRICE RAID CLAIMS
In the Price Raid, much property was destroyed. A great deal of it belonged to Kansas people. The owners of this property had a valid claim against the Government for the amounts of the losses they could establish. The following condensed statement is quoted from the Andreas History of Kansas, pages 207-8.
The Price raid and Curtis expedition cost the citizens of Kansas, besides the labor, loss of life, and such incidental losses as could not be computed, not less than half a million dollars. The Government was of course bound to reimburse them, so far as the losses could be established as valid claims, growing out of the war in which the country was then engaged. The Legislature of 1865 made provision for the assumption and payment of the claims by the State, looking to the General Government for reimbursement. A commission was appointed to examine and audit such claims as might be presented. In addition to the just claims which came before the committee came an avalanche of bogus
