ELEVENTH CAVALRY.
This regiment was recruited at Kalamazoo, in the fall of 1863. It was mustered into the service December 10th, and left for the field on the 17th of the same month, its rolls showing nine hundred and twenty-one names, of which something less than one hundred were from Kalamazoo County. Every company except E and K was represented by men from the county. One of its lieutenant-colonels, Charles E. Smith, was also a Kalamazoo County man, and quite a number of its line officers. (See roster.)
It proceeded to Lexington, Ky., and during the months of January and February, 1864, was armed and equipped, and employed in scouting, with its headquarters at Louis- ville.
In April it moved to Louisa, Ky., and, with the 39th Kentucky Infantry, with which it was brigaded, was em- ployed in protecting the eastern part of the State from rebel raids and incursions, which came in from Virginia,

MILITARY.
until the last of May, when it was sent on an expedition into West Virginia, under Gens. Burbridge and Hobson ; but, hearing that the rebels, under Morgan, had invaded Kentucky, the division returned and by forced marching overtook the enemy at Mount Sterling, Ky.
Here, on the 8th of June, the enemy was routed with severe loss. On the 12th of the same month the rebels were again encountered at Cynthiana, and a second time defeated and dispersed .*
From August 23d to September 17th it was stationed at Camp Burnside, on the Cumberland River, and was employed, with other troops, in protecting the southern part of Kentucky from threatened invasion by Gen. Wheel- er's cavalry.
In the latter part of September it was engaged in a raid to Saltville, Va. At Bowen's Farm the regiment was warmly engaged, and also at Richland Gap and Rich Moun- tain, and was part of the assaulting force upon the enemy's position at Saltville, which, defended by a superior force, was found too strong to be captured. During the return march into Kentucky the 11th formed the rear-guard. At Sandy Mountain it was nearly surrounded by the enemy, but succeeded, after a severe struggle, in rejoining the com- mand.
During November it was constantly engaged in clearing the country of guerrillas, and had severe skirmishing at Hazel Green, McCormack's Farm, Morristown, Mount Sterling, and other points. It was at Crab Orchard and Cumberland Gap, marching from the latter place to Clinch River, where it had a sharp fight December 28th. From the 1st to the 11th of December it was engaged in scouting and foraging about Bean's Station, Morristown, Russellville, Whitesboro', and Cobb's Ford. On the 11th of December it moved with Gen. Stoneman's command into North Carolina, and on the 13th was at Bristol, where a number of prisoners and a large amount of stores were captured.
At Max Meadow Station the regiment destroyed a large arsenal. It skirmished with the enemy's cavalry about Marion on the 17th, and the whole command had a severe fight with Breckenridge's infantry, the enemy finally falling back.
The command then proceeded to Saltville, where the enemy's extensive salt-works were destroyed. After an arduous campaign the regiment finally returned to Lexing- ton, Ky., where it arrived on the 2d of January, 1865, many of the men having lost their horses and coming in on foot. During the campaign from November 17th to Jan- uary 2d the regiment had marched an average of twenty- eight miles a day, not including scouting and foraging.
It was engaged in scouting the eastern portion of Ken- tucky until February 23d, when it was ordered to join Gen. Stoneman's command at Knoxville, which it did on the 15th of March, moving by way of Louisville and Nashville.
It formed a part of the expedition under Stoneman into East Tennessee, North and South Carolina, and Georgia.
At Salisbury, N. C., where it arrived on the 12th of April, it was engaged with a superior force of the enemy, and captured eighteen hundred prisoners, twenty-two guns, and destroyed a large amount of property, including the railway and telegraph lines.
From Salisbury it marched to Asheville, where, on the 26th of April, it captured two hundred prisoners and a large amount of property and munitions of war. On the 1st of May it was at Anderson Court-House, S. C.t On the 11th it captured the cavalry escort of Jefferson Davis, near Washington, and on the 13th was on the Tugaloo and Savannah rivers.
Returning from this great raid, it reached Knoxville, Tenn., on the 3d of June, and encamped at Lenoir Station until the 24th, when it moved by rail to Pulaski, where, on the 20th of July, it was consolidated with the 8th Michi- gan Cavalry. It was mustered out of service at Nashville, Tenn., on the 22d of September. Returned to Michigan on the 28th, and was paid and disbanded.

* During the pursuit of Morgan, his adjutant-general, Withers, was badly wounded, though his men succeeded in carrying him from the field. His order-book was found by one of the officers of the 11th, and is now, we believe, in possession of Gen. Charles E. Smith.
t At Anderson it was estimated that the command destroyed three million dollars' worth of public property. At this point also were found and brought away a great amount of Confederate paper money, and three of the plates (engraved in England) upon which bills were printed. These last, together with a specimen gold coin (five dollars), struck by private enterprise, are the property of Gen. C. E. Smith, of Kalamazoo.

FOURTEENTH BATTERY.
This battery was organized at Kalamazoo, and mustered into service on the 5th day of January, 1864.
It reported at Camp Barry, an artillery camp of instruc- tion, February 5th. On the 20th of April following, it was mounted and ordered to Fort Bunker Hill, District of Columbia, where it reported on the 15th of May. On the 22d it returned to Camp Barry, where it was dismounted and sent to Fort Slocum, D. C. During the remainder of the year it was stationed in the forts around Washington. In July it took part in the actions with Early's command, when that officer approached the defenses of the capital. Subsequent to its being dismounted it was employed as heavy artillery. In November, 1864, one section was sta- tioned at Fort Bunker Hill, one at Fort Totten, and one, with headquarters, at Fort Slemmer. Subsequently it was on duty at Forts Snyder, Carroll, and Greble, where it con- tinued until June 17, 1865, when it was sent to Michigan, and mustered out at Jackson, July 1st. Nearly its entire term of service was spent in the defenses of Washington, and its only fighting was with Early.
In addition to these regiments of cavalry, Kalamazoo County was represented by between twenty and thirty men in the 4th Cavalry ; by nearly all of Companies L, in the 5th and 6th Cavalry ; by Company H, in the 7th Cavalry ; a large number in Company F, of the 8th Cavalry ; and a few in the 9th and 10th Cavalry. Also by some twenty men in Companies H and L, of the " Merrill Horse," and by others in Batteries B, C, D, E, F, G, I, K, and L, and in the 13th Battery, all of the 1st Michigan Light Artillery.
