Fifth Kentucky Caralry.
Fifth Kentucky Cavalry.
The 5th Ky. Cavalry was actively engaged .on mili- tary duty several months before it was regularly mus- tered into service. Col. David R. Haggard resided, in 1861, in the same general section of the state as Cols. Wol- ford, Ward and Hobson. This was peculiarly on the border and separated from the protection which the state had in closer proximity to the Louisville & Nashville Railroad, along which the great armies moved. The or- ganized Confederate forces in Tennessee were in a threat- ening attitude toward all Southeastern Kentucky in the summer of 1861, and the Cumberland river section was especially exposed. This condition led to the organiza- tion of the Unionists as a measure of self-protection. Col. Haggard early began the formation of a regiment.
In a communication from Gen. Sherman to Gen. Thomas, of date October 31, 1861, he says: "Col. Hag- gard is at Columbia with a regiment." November 12th: "Col. Bramlette reports to Gen. Thomas the propriety of Col. Haggard resuming his camp at Burksville, Novem- ber 14th." Gen. Sherman says: "Cols. Grider and Hag- gard are at Columbia, and are acquainted with all the country as far as Bowling Green." All through Decem- ber and January, 1861, Col. Haggard's cavalry was scout- ing the country south of Columbia. In February, after the Confederates fell back from Bowling Green, the 5th Cavalry went to Gallatin, Tenn. It was there mustered into the United States service at Camp Sandige March 31, 1862. It then numbered 943, and its subsequent ca- teer proved it to be one of the most valuable regiments in the service. The names of the officers by whom it was led are very striking. Col. Haggard had been for years a prominent man in his part of the state and a state official. Col. Wm. P. Sanders, soon made a brigadier- general, was a brilliant officer, educated at West Point. He was killed at Knoxville November, 1863, and the cele- brated fort there was named in his honor. There were no more gallant officers that Cols. Haggard, Sanders, Baldwin and Hoblitzell, and Majs. Owsley, Cheek, Glore, and Wharton; Capts. Fleming, Faris, John W. Forres- ter, Charles Gill; Surgs. Win. Forrester and Hugh Mul- holland were faithful and excellent officers.
May 14, 1862, Gen. Negley, at Rogersville, Ala., re- ports a battalion of the 5th, under Maj. Owsley, making a forced march from Pulaski against. the enemy on the 11
162
Union Regiments of Kentucky.
Lamb's Ferry road, where a lively fight occurred, and endurance and soldierly conduct by Maj. Owsley and his men is especially mentioned. In June the regiment, un- der Col. Haggard, with other troops, crossed the Cum- berland mountain and reconnoitered toward Chatta- nooga. July 7th it was at Columbia, and on the 8th be- tween Duck river and Wartrace; July 14th at Tantalon.
August 11th the 5th, with other regiments under Gen. Richard W. Johnson, left MeMinnville, Tenn .; and en- gaged Morgan's command at Gallatin, but were defeated. Gen. Johnson especially commends the conduct of Capt. Carter and Lieuts. Campbell and Cheek in this fight. Maj. Winfrey was taken prisoner.
September 5, 1862, Col. JJohn Kennett took command of the 1st and 2d Cavalry brigades, the 5th being in the 2d. Maj. Owsley then commanded the regiment. The 5th participated in the march of Buell's army in pursuit of Bragg, and is reported as being at Louisville in Sep- tember.
On the 14th of November, 1862, Col. Kennett reports the 5th as detached from him and on duty at Nashville. It was at Nashville in December, and on December 17th two companies were sent to Brentwood. December 19th and in January, 1863, the 5th was in Mitchell's division, under Maj. Owsley. It remained on duty at Nashville until the spring of 1863. In the organization of the Army of the Cumberland, June 30, 1863, the 5th was in Mit- chell's division, Gen. Ed McCook's brigade, and command of Lieut .- Col. Hoblitzell. In June and July, 1863, the 5th was engaged in very severe service in Middle Tennessee, July 3d the brigade, in which were the 3d Ky. Cavalry, 5th Ky. Cavalry and 6th Ky. Cavalry, was led by Col. Wat- kins, of the 6th. Gen. Sheridan's report of this campaign says the troops moved from Murfreesboro toward Shel- byville, fought at Christiana, camped at Millersburg. then moved to Winchester. There, hearing that Confed- erate Gen. Wharton was seven miles away, he ordered Watkins to move against him with the 5th and 6th Ky. Cavalry. He says: "This reconnoissance was hand- somely executed by Col. Watkins, who drove the enemy about three miles, inflicting a severe loss."
Col. Watkins says, in his report of the movements of the 5th and 6th Cavalry under his command, June 23d. marched from Franklin to Triune; June 25th, marched to Murfreesboro: June 28th, from Murfreesboro back to Christiana; 29th, within 5 miles of Shelbyville; 30th, at Shelbyville, and made a reconnaissance on the road to Tullahoma; JJuly 2d, to Tullahoma; July 3d, to Cowan
