HISTORY OF VAN BUREN COUNTY


The regiment left Grand Rapids November 28, 1861, for St. Louis, Missouri, under command of Lieutenant Colonel Robert H. G. Minty. In March, 1862, the Third was in the army commanded by General Pope, who at that date was operating against Island No. 10, in the Mississippi river, the regiment being located at New Madrid, Missouri, and was constantly under fire for several days. The water at this place was extremely bad, and more sickness was contracted here than at any one period of the four and a half years' service of the regiment, the death rate being very heavy.


Governor Blair commissioned Captain John K. Mizner, U. S. A., colonel of the regiment March 7, 1862, and he immediately as- sumed command.


Its first engagement was at New Madrid, Missouri, where it be- gan a most creditable career, giving the foe a lively idea of the mettle of the Michigan cavalry boys, of which the southern troops were destined to have a large experience before the close of the war.


After the evacuation of New Madrid and the surrender of Is- land No. 10 the regiment was sent up the Tennessee river to the battlefield of Shiloh and took part in the siege of Corinth, Mis- sissippi, which lasted until the end of May, and during that time the regiment performed most efficient service and was highly com- mended by officers in high command.


After the fall of Corinth the Third served under General Rose- crans in the campaign in Mississippi and Alabama, which was directed by General Grant. It bore a conspicuous part in the battle of Iuka, September 19, 1862, and acted so gallantly that General Rosecrans acknowledged its meritorious services in gen- eral orders.


One of its hardest fought battles was that of Corinth, Mississippi, October 3 and 4, 1862. For several days some portions of the regi- ment were in the saddle without intermission day and night. On the retreat of the rebels south the Third Cavalry were constantly on their flanks and rear, capturing many prisoners. This pursuit extended over seventy-five miles into the heart of Mississippi.


During the following months of that year the regiment was constantly on scouting duty, and its marches and engagements with the enemy were continuous and incessant. During this period it was under command of Major Lyman G. Wilcox, Colonel Miz- ner having been made chief of cavalry for the Sixteenth Army Corps, while Lieutenant Colonel Minty was commissioned colonel of the Fourth Cavalry and returned to Michigan and organized that regiment.


In November the Confederates destroyed telegraphic communi- cations between General Grant and General Sherman, the former at La Grange and the latter at Memphis, Tennessee. It was im-

portant that General Grant should communicate with General Sherman. Captain Cicero Newell, who had been commissioned captain of Company K, April 11, 1862, vice Davis, resigned, was selected, with his company, to carry the dispatches, although the country was held by the enemy in strong force and every road guarded. By persistent effort and marked tact and bravery Cap- tain Newell succeeded in delivering the dispatches and received a complimentary letter from General Sherman for the daring deed. This was only one of the many daring expeditions by the officers and men of this regiment during that momentous period.


The regiment did efficient service in northern Mississippi and Tennessee during the winter of 1863, and took part in a severe engagement at Jackson, Tennessee, in July of that year. In Au- gust it was engaged with the enemy at Grenada, Mississippi, and destroyed an immense amount of railroad stock, including sixty locomotives and nearly five hundred cars. During the following months of the year, by, continuous marches and fighting, it suc- ceeded in driving from the country the notorious bands of guer- rillas that had long infested that section. It met on several oc- casions the forces under Generals Forrest and Chalmers, and severe engagements took place at Ripley, Orizaba and Ellistown, Miss- issippi. and at Purdy and Jack's Creek, Tennessee.


JUSTICE TO CAVALRY REGIMENTS


A comprehensive history of a cavalry regiment can only be written by recording its daily movements. When not moving with its brigade it is often sent on dangerous and important missions far from its support, and has to depend upon the officer in command for a successful termination, and frequently he finds most exact- ing and trying conditions confronting him.


The different companies of this regiment were daily sent on dangerous scouting duty, either separately or by detachments, and often secured information that was of vital importance to the commanding general. These separate companies or detachments had to rely upon themselves in critical situations, and they often displayed during the war the genius of generalship that would have distinguished them in history were such circumstances not so frequent or were they written up at the time and made public.


In the movements of a great army the minor movements of regiments and companies are overshadowed and unknown except to those who take part. A regiment of cavalry performs most in- cessant and arduous service during a campaign, but its recon- naissances and scouts, its skirmishes and charges, are only a part of the main army and are seldom mentioned with the importance

they deserve. The frequent charges, marches, battles and skir- mishes of a cavalry regiment cannot be recorded with justice in a brief outline of its history.


In January, 1864, the Third, was at La Grange, Tennessee, where the regiment reenlisted and was sent to Michigan on veteran fur- lough. The reputation it had attained drew a large number of recruits to its ranks at this time, and at the termination of the thirty-day furlough the regiment reassembled at Kalamazoo and again, under command of Colonel Mizner, returned to St. Louis, Missouri, where, in May, 1864, it was sent to Little Rock, Arkan- sas, and was soon engaged in scouting and driving General Shel- by and the Confederates he commanded beyond the Arkansas river.


From November, 1864, to February, 1865, the headquarters of the Third were at Brownsville Station, Arkansas, and many marches and scouts were made in the surrounding country, secur- ing large supplies for the Union army, thus immeasurably crip- pling the Confederates, whose resources were constantly being curtailed.


In March, 1865, the Third was transferred to the Military De- partment of the Mississippi commanded by General Canby, to operate against Mobile. After the fall of that city it marched across Alabama and Mississippi to Baton Rouge, Lousiana. When General Sheridan was sent west to command the Military Depart- ment of the Southwest the regiment was ordered to report to him for duty, and immediately joined the expedition to San Antonio, Texas, where it arrived August 2nd, after a long and fatiguing march. Here it was employed in guarding the Mexican border, where it performed garrison duty and engaged in constant scout- ing. Its headquarters were at San Antonio, Texas, until Febru- ary 15, 1866, when it was dismounted and marched to Indianola, where it took a steamer for Cairo, Illinois, via New Orleans.


On its return to Michigan, March 10, 1866, the regiment was ren- dezvoused at Jackson, where it was paid off and disbanded. The veterans of 1861 in this organization saw four years and six months' service and a great majority of its recruits served well and faithfully for over three years. Its members, both officers and enlisted men, came from all sections of the state, and in a short time after their muster out could be found at their former avoca- tions, the better citizens for having been good soldiers. Their long and arduous service added luster to the lasting reputation won by the cavalry regiments from Michigan.


From March, 1862, until December, 1863, the regiment took part in the following engagements and skirmishes: New Madrid. Missouri, March 13, 1862; siege of Island No. 10, Missouri, March

Shortly after the engagement at Jack's Creek the regiment re- turned to Michigan on veteran furlough, and on its return to the front was closely identified with the skirmishes and battles in the southwest, including the battle at Mobile, and at the surrender of the last rebel troops under General Richard Taylor. It is the record of the regiment that it did active service in ten states, oc- cupying more territory and marching more miles than any regi- ment that left the state. The official records show that the regi- ment actually marched a distance of 10,800 miles exclusive of marches by separate companies and detachments.
