"MERRILL HORSE"
In the first year of the war more companies were recruited and of- fered for service than Governor Blair could accept. Some of these sought and found service in other states. Among them were two com- panies recruited from Calhoun County which on September 6, 1861, be- came a part of the Second Missouri Cavalry, better known as the "Mer- rill Horse," a name given the organization by Mrs. General Fremout in honor of Colonel Lewis Merrill, then first commander. In December, 1862, another company was recruited at Battle Creek and took service in the same regiment, being mustered in January 1, 1863.

THE FORMATION OF THE "MERRILL HORSE"" By Captain George H. Rowell
Early in the Civil war several companies were organized in the State of Michigan, and their services offered to Governor Blair, who, having no authority, was obliged to decline receiving them; conse- quently they sought service in other states. Notably among these organ- izations were two troops of cavalry recruited and organized by Doctor S. B. Thayer, Jabez B. Rogers and James B. Mason, all of Battle Creek. Several telegrams were flashed over the wires between Major General John C. Fremont, then commanding the territory known as the Department of the Missouri, and the parties responsible for the organi- zation of these two companies, finally resulting in Fremont's accepting ยท the services of these two companies or troops, if they would report to him within ten days; then commenced some very lively work on the part of the organizers, resulting in two full troops consisting of eighty-five men in each troop, being reported to Major General Fremont. Although eleven days had elapsed when we reported to the General, even this small contingent was gladly accepted and on the 9th day of September, 1861, the troops were sworn in to the service of the United States, and was then known as the nucleus to which with other troops, from other states gathered, and it was soon known that Ohio, Missouri, Indiana and New York City and Michigan, were all vieing with each other to see which and who should first announce their organization complete, and in a fit condition to take the field. The Michigan troops were known and num- bered as Companies H and I. Captain Lewis Merrill of the regular army was waiting in St. Louis for the colonelcy of a volunteer regiment, and

these smaller organizations were assigned to him, as good timber from which to form a regiment. Ohio contributed three companies, C, G and K. Missouri contributed four companies, B, D, E and F. Michigan con- tributed two full companies H and I, and in December following, A, a mixed company, composed mostly of Michigan men commanded by Cap- tain Hiram F. Hale, of Battle Creek, Michigan. And in November, 1862, another full company of Michigan men was added to the regiment, raised at Battle Creek and commanded by Captain Almon E. Preston. This company was named Company L, and was the 11th company joined to the regiment with Colonel Lewis Merrill, of the regular army, as colonel of the new regiment, fully equipped to take the field.
After remaining in drill school in Benton barracks, Missouri, for about six weeks, the first outside service of the regiment was on what was known as "Fremont's Springfield Expedition," but Fremont did not remain in command long enough to complete the expedition, being superseded on the march by Major General Hunter, which at the time was generally deplored by Fremont's army. After this service was com- pleted the regiment returned to St. Louis, and soon after was divided into sub-divisions and sent out into the state to subdue and capture roving bands of guerrila who were murdering the citizens, and burning and destroying their property. The regiment was kept employed in this kind of warfare during the ensuing fall and winter, and did good execution in ridding the state of many of these bands. The following summer, 1862, one, Colonel Joseph Porter, a Confederate officer, invaded the state with a force of Confederate volunteers, and ran riot through the state murdering and maltreating the people. General Schofield, . then in command of that department, ordered Colonel Merrill to con- centrate his regiment, and if possible drive out and exterminate these roving bands. During the summer and winter of 1862, the regiment had several battles with detachments of the rebels, the last at Kirksville, Mis- souri, August 6th, 1862, variously estimated at from 2,000 to 3,000 men, while the Federal force augmented by a small force of state militia numbered something over 1,100 men. Porter was defeated with a loss of 100 killed, and something over 300 taken prisoners. Porter was driven from the state, and comparative quiet reigned for the balance of the fall and winter. The different detachments of the regiment were united after the Porter campaign, and were encamped at or near War- renton, Missouri. a small village on the North Missouri Railroad.
The spring of 1863 found the state quiet, but rumor had it that the Federal forces remaining in the state were soon to commence the invasion of the State of Arkansas, where the Confederate general, Ster- ling Price, was said to be with a large army. Federal general, Frederick Steel, with an army of 22,000 men, was ordered up from the lower country, while Major General John W. Davidson was massing a division of cavalry at Pilot Knob, on the Iron Mountain Railroad, to co-operate with Steel in the capture of Little Rock. The two Federal forces united at Camden on White River, but the cavalry division under Davidson, had been under fire every day after crossing the St. Francois river, which was the dividing line between Missouri and Arkansas. The Merrill Horse, now twelve companies, was about one-sixth of Davidson's small
580
HISTORY OF CALHOUN COUNTY
cavalry division, but it performed an important part in the invasion of Arkansas, for outposts must be established and maintained, for the enemy was alert, and would not be caught napping. The supreme command being vested in Major General Steel, he ordered the advance on Price's batteries, with the cavalry division marching on each flank, but finally ordered to ford the river "Arkansas" about six miles below Little Rock. Steel's forces had now possession of both sides of the Arkansas river, the cavalry division being on the same side on which the City of Little Rock is situated. When this was ascertained the en- tire force, under Steel, with Davidson's cavalry division, was ordered to advance upon the city. The enemy commenced a rapid retreat, the Federal forces crowding their rear, the cavalry division, Colonel Lewis Merrill commanding the first brigade, in the lead, and the first Federal troops to enter the city. The enemy having retreated beyond the con- fines of the City of Little Rock, Merrill, with his brigade, was ordered in pursuit, which he did, pursuant to orders on the following day, but the enemy with his large force was too strong for a small brigade to attack, and after two days' unsuccessful skirmishing with the enemy, re- turned to Little Rock. Thus virtually closed the Arkansas campaign, the entire Federal forces going into winter quarters; the Merrill Horse mostly at Brownsville, a small village situated about 30 miles east of Little Rock, and all of the 1861 men having completed their term of service, and the war not closed, re-enlistment commenced, and was carried on very lively during the winter of 1864, the Michigan Battalion showing the largest percentage of re-enlistment. The first of May, 1864, found the regiment still at Little Rock, but the men were tired of war, and hoping for peace, and a veteran furlough was granted throughout the regiment to all men whose term of service justified it.
The Michigan Battalion having been recruited largely from Battle Creek, that was the mecca to which their footsteps turned. After a 60 days' furlough, they returned to St. Louis, Missouri, in time to partici- pate in the checking of the Rebel General, Price, in his last invasion of the state, October and November, 1864. After the close of this campaign, the regiment was again divided, a portion being at Paducah, Kentucky. A detachment at Memphis, Tennessee. A portion at Devall's Bluff, Arkan- sas, and a detachment at Eastport, Mississippi, but they came together in February following, at Chattanooga, Tennessee. The war was now virtually over, but the regiment was ordered to Atlanta, where it re- mained for a time, and later returned to Chattanooga. It was mustered out of service at Nashville, Tennessee, on the 19th day of September, 1865. The service of the regiment was arduous, but it made for itself a good record among the cavalry regiments of the southwest. It met the enemy at or near Memphis, Missouri, Moores Mills, Kirksville, Newark, Brownsville, Bayou Metoe, Bayou Ashley, Deadman's Lake, Big Blue, Benton, Arkansas; Little Rock, Princeton, Little Missouri River, Camden, Saline River, Jenkins Ferry, Corinth, Chattanooga, Eastport, Alpine, Summerville.
The regiment was under fire nearly every day for about three weeks from Chalk Bluffs on the St. Francis river to the capture of Little Rock.
Total enrollment, Michigan Battalion, 527.
