The Seventh Kansas Cavalry was organized October 28, 1861, and mustered into the service of the United States under the following officers: Colonel, Charles R. Jennison, Leavenworth; lieutenant- colonel, Daniel R. Anthony, Leavenworth; major, Thomas P. Her- rick, Highland; . adjutant, John T. Snoddy, Mound City; quarter-

master, Robert W. Hamer, Leavenworth; surgeon, Joseph L. Weaver, Leavenworth; chaplain, Samuel Ayers, Leavenworth. The regiment served in Missouri, Mississippi and Tennessee, and was mustered out at Fort Leavenworth in September, 1865. Lieut .- Col. Anthony was deprived of his command in Tennessee, June 18, 1862, for issuing an offensive order. July 17 Maj. Albert T. Lee was promoted to colonel, and assumed command of the regiments. Col. Lee having been pro- moted to brigadier-general November 29, 1862, the command devolved upon Lieut. - Col. Herrick. During the Missouri campaign of 1864 the regiment was commanded by Lieut. - Col. F. M. Malone.
The Eighth Infantry was originally recruited and intended for home and frontier service. Hostile Indians on the west and armed rebels on the east, rendering Kansas at any moment liable to invasion, a double duty devolved on the young State, and at that period of the war, while furnishing liberally of her "bone and sinew" to repel the enemy abroad, her own homes and families had also to be considered and protected. As organized in November, 1861, the regiment con- sisted of six infantry and two cavalry companies, with the following regimental officers: Colonel, Henry W. Wessels, United States army; lieutenant-colonel, John A. Martin; major, Edward F. Schneider; adjutant, S. C. Russell; quartermaster, E. P. Bancroft. During the three months following this organization, various changes were made in the regiment. Some companies were added, some were transferred to other regiments, and some were consolidated. February 7, 1862, Col. Wessels was ordered to Washington to assume command of his regiment in the regular army, and Lieut .- Col. Martin succeeded to his place. Later in the month, the Eighth was consolidated with a battalion raised for New Mexican service, the cavalry companies, D and H, were transferred to the Ninth Kansas, and the Eighth, now an entire infantry regiment, was placed under command of Col. R. H. Graham. The organization of the regiment after these changes was as follows: Colonel, Robert H. Graham, Leavenworth; lieutenant- colonel, John A. Martin, Atchison; major, Edward F. Schneider, Leavenworth; adjutant, Sheldon C. Russell, Lawrence; quartermas- ter, E. P. Bancroft, Emporia; surgeon, J. B. Woodward, Riley County; chaplain, John Paulson, Topeka. May 28 five companies of the regiment-B, E, H, I and K-after being reviewed at Fort Leaven- worth, embarked on a Missouri steamer, under orders from Gen. Blunt, then commander of western department, to report at Corinth. Miss. At St. Louis, Col. Graham was obliged to resign his command, in con-

sequence of sickness, and it again devolved upon Lient. - Col. Martin. In December, 1862, Col. Martin was assigned to the command of the brigade, and Maj. Schneider to that of the regiment. In February, 1863, Companies A, C, D, F, and, in March, Company G, rejoined the regiment. These companies had been stationed at different posts in Kansas, chiefly employed in repelling the incursions of rebel bands from Missouri, and guarding the frontier of their own State. January 4, 1864, four-fifths of all the members of the Eighth, then present in camp, re-enlisted as veteran volunteers. On the 9th, Gen. Willich assumed command of the Third Division, the command of the First Brigade devolving upon Col. Martin, and that of the regiment upon Maj. James M. Graham. Col. Martin was mustered out at Pulaski on the 17th of November, his term of service having expired. The fol- lowing day Lieut. - Col. Conover took command of the regiment. The Eighth saw service in East Tennesee, and especially recommended itself to the admiration of the nation by the part it took at Mission Ridge. At the close of the war it went to Texas, and did not return until January, 1866, when it was mustered out at Leavenworth. It was one of the earliest regiments in the field, and its term of service did not close until the echo of the last Confederate gun had died away.
The Ninth Kansas Volunteer Cavalry was organized March 27, 1862, under the following officers: Colonel, Edward Lynde, Grass- hopper Falls; lieutenant-colonel, Charles S. Clarke, Iola; major, James M. Pomeroy; adjutant, Luin K. Thacher, Kansas City; quarter- master, William Rosenthal, Lawrence; surgeon, Henry C. Bostick, Iola; chaplain, Gilbert S. Northrup. The final organization of the Ninth was effected by consolidating and organizing the Iola battalion (raised in Southern Kansas) with detachments of the First Battalion Kansas Cavalry, the Third Kansas, and the Eighth Kansas Volunteers. The place of rendezvous for these companies was Fort Leavenworth, where also the regiment was organized, and whence the companies were de- tached to various posts of duty-A, on escort duty to Fort Union, N. M .; B, into the mountains of Colorado, to build Fort Halleck; C, to Fort Riley; G, to Fort Lyon, Colo., and I, to Fort Laramie. The de- tachments on the plains were long in defense of overland mail routes, and the protection of immigrants, one detachment proceeding north- west to Montana, the other having its station along the Santa Fe route. The four companies, D, E, F and H, under Maj. Bancroft, formed a part of the expedition into the Indian country, and, under Col. Lynde, were engaged during a part of August, 1862, in pursuing the force of

Gen. Coffey through Western Missouri. The regiment took part in the desultory warfare which was waged in Kansas, Missouri and Ar- kansas, remaining on duty at Little Rock and Duvall's Bluff until its term of service expired, some of the companies returning to Leaven- worth in the fall of 1864, to be mustered out of the service, and some remaining until mustered out in the summer of 1865.
April 3, 1862, the Third and Fourth Kansas Regiments, together with a small portion of the Fifth, were, by order of the war depart- ment, consolidated at Paola, Kas. The regiment formed by such con- solidation was designated the Tenth Kansas Infantry, and was at that time organized under the following officers: Colonel, William F. Cloud, Emporia; lieutenant colonel, Henry H. Williams, Osawatomie; major, Otis B. Gunn; adjutant, Casimio B. Zulaoski, Boston, Mass .; surgeon, Mahlon Bailey; chaplain, John H. Drummond, Marysville. The regiment saw service on the border, and at the expiration of its term was mustered out at Fort Leavenworth.
The Tenth Kansas Veteran Regiment was composed of four com- panies, the Veterans, with the recruits of Companies F and I, forming the new companies, A and B. The regiment was commanded by Maj. Henry H. Williams from its organization until the last of August, 1864, when he was placed in charge of Schofield Barracks, St. Louis. The Tenth left St. Louis for Pilot Knob, Mo., under command of Lieut. F. A. Smiley, Company D, and on its arrival the command was transferred to Capt. George D. Brooke, Company C. On November 7, the regiment embarked at St. Louis for Paducah, Ky., and on its arrival at that place Capt. William C. Jones, of Company B, took command. November 28, it arrived at Nashville, and the next day at Columbia, Tenn., being at the latter place assigned to the Fourth Army Corps, Gen. Stanley commanding. The regiment fell back with the army of Gen. Schofield after the battle of Franklin, and on reach- ing Nashville was employed on the defenses of the city until Decen- ber 16, having been in the meantime transferred to the Seventeenth, afterward Sixteenth Army Corps, Second Brigade, Second Division. Later it was commanded by Capt. (afterward Lieut .- Col. ) Charles S. Hills. It took part in subsequent warfare in that field, and acquitted itself heroically on more than one occasion. It was mustered out in Alabama, and, September 20, 1865, received payment and final dis- charge at Fort Leavenworth.
The Eleventh Kansas Infantry (afterward cavalry) was the result of the energetic and patriotic Hon. Thomas Ewing, Jr., at a time
87

when the State felt hardly able to spare even the men it had already in the field. The first recruit enlisted August 8, 1862, and on the 14th of September the last company was mustered in, the line officers as follows: Field and staff-colonel, Thomas Ewing, Jr., Leavenworth; lieutenant-colonel, Thomas Moonlight, Leavenworth; major, Preston B. Plumb, Emporia; adjutant, John Williams, Leavenworth; quar- termaster, James R. McClure, Junction City; surgeon, George W. Hogeboom, Leavenworth; chaplain, James S. Ciine, Tecumseh. On the promotion of Col. Ewing to be brigadier-general, Lieut. Col. Moonlight was promoted to colonel, Maj. Plumb to lieutenant-colonel, and Capt. Anderson to major; but the regiment having lost over 300 men, its number was below the minimum, and they could not mus- ter at that time. On changing the regiment to cavalry, it was again below regulation size, and Maj. Anderson was the only field officer mustered in until the following spring, when two additional com- panies having been recruited and mustered in, the organization of the Eleventh Kansas Cavalry was completed by the commission of Lieut. - Col. Moonlight as colonel, Maj. Plumb as lieutenant colonel, and Capts. Ross and Adams as majors. Early in the war the regiment was in Missouri and Arkansas. Later it served under Gen. Ewing in Southwest Missouri and Kansas. In 1864 it took part in the cam- paign against Price; after that in the movement against the Indians. Lieut. - Col. Plumb succeeded Col. Moonlight in command. The regi- ment was mustered out at Fort Leavenworth in the early fall of 1865.
The Twelfth Infantry was recruited by C. W. Adams, of Law- rence, in the counties of Wyandotte, Johnson, Douglas, Miami, Franklin, Coffey, Allen, Linn and Bourbon. It was mustered into the service at Paola, September 25, 1862, under the following offi- cers: Field and staff-colonel, Charles W. Adams, Lawrence; lieu- tenant-colonel, Jonas E. Hayes, Olathe; major, Thomas H. Kennedy, Lawrence; adjutant, Charles J. Lovejoy, Baldwin City; quartermas- ter, Andrew J. Shannon, Paola; surgeon, Thomas Lindsay, Garnett; chaplain, Werter R. Davis, Baldwin City. This regiment served on the frontier, and was mustered out at Little Rock, June 3, 1865.
The Thirteenth Kansas Infantry was raised in conformity to the quota assigned Kansas, under President Lincoln's call of July, 1862, and was recruited by Cyrus Leland, Sr., in the counties of Atchison, Brown, Doniphan, Marshall and Nemaha. The rendezvous was established at Camp Stanton, city of Atchison, the regiment organ -

ized September 10, 1862, and mustered into the service of the United States on September 20 of the same year, under the fol- lowing officers: Colonel, Thomas M. Bowen, Marysville; lieutenant- colonel, John B. Wheeler, Troy; major, Caleb A. Woodworth, Atchi- son; adjutant, William P. Badger; quartermaster, Cyrus Leland; sur- geon, William M. Grimes, Atchison; chaplain, Daniel A. Murdock. The Thirteenth was in the engagement at Prairie Grove, and saw con- siderable guerrilla warfare. It was mustered out at Little Rock, Ark., June 26, 1865.
The nucleus of the Fourteenth Kansas Volunteer Infantry was four companies of cavalry, which were recruited as personal escort of Maj. - Gen. Blunt, in the spring of 1863. The necessity of raising an ad- ditional force for frontier service was so imperative that the recruit- ing of a whole regiment was authorized, and the work performed dur- ing the summer and fall, Maj. T. J. Anderson serving as recruiting officer. The organization of the regiment was partially completed in November as follows: Field and staff-colonel, Charles W. Blair, Fort Scott; majors, Daniel H. David, Charles Willetts and John G. Brown, Leavenworth; adjutant, William O. Gould, Leavenworth; assistant sur- geon, Albert W. Chenowith, Lecompton. The Fourteenth took part in the peculiarly dangerous and wearing service on the border and in the campaign against Price. It was mustered out at Lawrence, August 20, 1865. After the numerous guerrilla raids of 1863, under Coffey, Rains and Quantrell, culminated in the terrible massacre at Lawrence, Gov. Carney immediately commissioned Col. C. R. Jennison to recruit a reg- iment of cavalry for the express purpose of protecting the eastern border of Kansas. Rendezvous was established at Leavenworth, and in a month the required companies were raised, and the Fifteenth Kansas Volunteer Cavalry organized under the following officers: Colonel, Charles R. Jennison, Leavenworth; lieutenant-colonel, George H. Hoyt, Boston, Mass. ; major, Robert H. Hunt, Leavenworth; adjutant, Joseph Mackle; quartermaster, George W. Carpenter; surgeon, Augustus E. Denning, Topeka; chaplain, Benjamin L. Read, Leavenworth. The reg- iment served in Missouri and Kansas, taking part in repelling the Price raid.
The Sixteenth Volunteer Cavalry was organized during the latter period of the war, and was officered as follows: Colonel, Werter R. Davis, Baldwin City; lieutenant-colonel, Samuel Walker, Lawrence; major, James A. Price, and adjutant, Philip Doppler, both of Wes- ton, Mo .; quartermaster, William B. Halyard; surgeon, James P.

Erickson; chaplain, Thomas J. Ferril, Baldwin City. This regiment was out against Price, and participated in guerrilla and Indian warfare in Missouri.
In response to the President's call of April 23, 1864, for troops to serve 100 days, five companies were recruited in Kansas and organized into a battalion, which, July 28, was mustered into the Seventeenth Kansas, at Fort Leavenworth, under the following officers: Lieutenant- colonel, Samuel A. Drake; adjutant, D. C. Standbridge; quarter- master, D. B. Evans; assistant surgeon, George E. Buddington; all of Leavenworth. This regiment, the last raised in the State, served with credit to the end of the struggle. Six companies of the First Kansas Colored Volunteer Infantry were mustered in January 13, 1863. The organization was completed with four additional companies, May 2, under these officers: Colonel, James M. Williams; lieutenant-colonel, John Bowles; major, Richard J. Ward; adjutant, Richard J. Hinton; quartermaster, Elijah Hughes; surgeon, Samuel C. Harrington. It performed good services in the Southwest, and was mustered out at Pine Bluff, Ark., October 1, 1865.
The Second Kansas Colored Volunteer Infantry also served on the border. It was organized in the summer of 1863, and organized at Fort Smith, Ark., under the following field and staff officers: Colonel, Samuel J. Crawford, Garnett; lieutenant-colonel, Horatio Knowles; major, James H. Gillpatrick, Junction City; adjutant, John R. Mont- gomery, Little Rock, Ark .; quartermaster, Edwin Stokes, Clinton; surgeon, George W. Walgamott, Lawrence; chaplain, Josiah B. Mc- Affee, Topeka. It was discharged from the service at Leavenworth, November 27, 1865, having, as did also the First Colored Infantry, nobly performed its duty, and by its faithful service proved the bravery and efficiency of colored soldiers.
The First Kansas Volunteer Battery has left meager records. Its first officers were mustered in July 24, 1861, about fifty artillery men enlisting that month. The organization was as follows: Captain, Thom - as Bickerton; first lieutenant, Norman Allen, both of Lawrence; sec- ond lieutenant, Hartson R. Brown; first sergeant, John B. Cook, Au- burn; second sergeant, Shelby Sprague, Prairie City; corporal, John S. Gray, Mound City. Many recruits were added to the battery dur- ing the early part of 1862, and it participated in the battle at Prairie Grove. It left Rolla, Mo., July 9, 1863, for St. Louis. In conse- quence of the death of Capt. Norman Allen, who was promoted Feb- ruary 25, 1862, and who died at St. Louis July 10, 1863, the command

devolved on Lieut. Thomas Taylor, Lieut. H. R. Brown having been mustered out February 15, 1862. Directly succeeding the death of Capt. Allen the battery was ordered to Indiana, and took an active part in capturing Morgan's guerrilla band, then on its raid through that State. After this it was ordered to St. Louis, and subsequently to Columbus, Ky. It served with distinction in all the principal actions in which the armies of the Tennessee and Mississippi were en- gaged, and its numbers were greatly reduced by the casualties of war and by disease. It was mustered out of service at Leavenworth, Kas., July 17, 1865.
The work of organizing the Second Kansas Volunteer Battery was commenced in August, 1862, under the supervision of Maj. C. W. Blair, of the Second Kansas Cavalry. Its organization was completed on September 19, following, its officers being as follows: Charles W. Blair, Fort Scott, commanding; first lieutenant, Edward A. Smith; first lieutenant, David C. Knowles; second lieutenant, Andrew G. Clark, all of Fort Scott; second lieutenant, Aristarchus Wilson, Ma- pleton; first sergeant, William Requa, Mount Gilead; quartermaster- sergeant, William H. Boyd, Mansfield. At the time the battery was mustered in at Fort Scott, its entire force was 123 officers and men, two twelve-pounder field howitzers, and four six-pounder guns. The battery was assigned to First Brigade, Gen. Soloman, First Division, Gen. Blunt, of the Army of the Frontier, then consolidated under Gen. Schofield at Pea Ridge, and participated gallantly in the warfare in the Southwest. It was mustered out of service in August, 1865.
The military organization afterward known as the Third Kansas Battery was originally recruited as a cavalry company, by Henry Hop- kins and John F. Aduddell, in the latter part of 1861, and on the formation of the Second Kansas Cavalry, February 28, 1862, was assigned to that regiment as Company B, its officers being as follows: Captain, Henry Hopkins, and first lieutenant, John F. Aduddell, both of Albion, Ill .; second lieutenant, Oscar F. Dunlap, Topeka. May 15, 1862, the latter was succeeded by Bradford S. Bassett. Capt. Hop- kins having been ordered to the command of Hollister's battery, Lieut. Adnddell succeeded to the command. This organization served in the Southwest, principally in Arkansas, latterly under the command of Lieut. Bassett, and was mustered out in January, 1865, except about fifty men who were attached to the Second Battery.
Three Indian regiments were actively engaged in the United States service during the war of the Rebellion, which were officered and

entirely recruited in Kansas. The recruits were chiefly from the loyal refugee Seminole and Creek Indians, who had taken refuge from the encroachments of hostile Indians under Stand-Waitie, in the southern border of the State. A few were resident Indians, having homes and families in Kansas.
