. FIFTH OHIO CAVALRY.
The beginnings of this regiment were made early in August, 1861, under authority from General Fremont, by Colonel W. H. H. Taylor and Lieutenant Colonel Thomas T. Heath. At first it was the Second Ohio cav- alry, but was changed to the Fifth by Governor Denni- son. Recruits were rendezvoused at Camp Dick Cor- wine, near Cincinnati, till November 5th, when .the regiment was ordered to Camp Dennison. February 26, 1862, orders were received with much enthusiasm to pro- ceed to Paducah. The command was now one thousand one hundred and forty-two strong, mostly recruited in Hamilton and Clermont counties. It reached Fort Henry just after the victory of the Union forces there, and in a few days proceeded by steamer to Savannah, on the Tennessee river. March 14th it was transported to a point near Eastport, and made the first expedition of the Federal forces on Mississippi soil. Frequent skir- mishes were had near Pittsburgh Landing, and parts of the regiment were on numerous scouts until the battle there, which was its first general engagement. It bore itself heroically in both days' fight, though under the most unfavorable circumstances, and for a time received

its orders directly from General Grant. Early April 8th it formed the advance and flank guard of General Sher- man's reconnoisance, and about eight miles out charged the enemy's cavalry, driving it some six miles, and capt- uring many prisoners and much material of war. At Corinth it was the first on its part of the line, to enter the town. It was constantly on duty till July 27th, when it reached Memphis, was armed with Burnside carbines, and allowed a rest. Two battalions were heavily engaged at the battle of Hatchie, while the Third battalion fought with Rosecrans at Corinth. Companies B and M were in the brilliant action at Davis' Mill, where a large rebel force was checked by one greatly inferior; and they were specially commended in order's by General Grant. In the spring and summer of 1863 the regiment, then in the Second brigade, Cavalry division, Sixteenth corps, was employed in guarding Memphis and the Memphis & Charleston railroad. July 30th it started for Camp Davis, Mississippi, where the Third battalion, which had been long detached, rejoined it. This battalion had also seen very active and honorable service, and in February, 1863, suffered the loss of Major C. S. Hayes, commanding the battalion, who was killed near Hernando, Mississippi. It was engaged in forty-seven actions and skirmishes while serving independently of its regiment, marching and scouting over fifteen hundred miles, and capturing more than three hundred prisoners, and as many horses and mules, with not more than twenty-five men and horses killed and taken, and fourteen wounded. At once after the reunion of the battalions, the regiment marched to attack a brigade of the enemy's cavalry, which they drove through Baldwin to Guntown and returned with a num- ber of prisoners. It was then assigned to the Second cavalry brigade, and was almost constantly engaged in scouting and skirmishing. In the latter part of August Major Rader, with the Second battalion, got on the wrong road, ran into a large force of rebels, and was completely stampeded, with a loss of nine men and thirty-five horses. October 16th, by personal order of General Sherman, the regiment joined the advance of Osterhaus' division, Fifteenth corps, on Chattanooga, and had sharp fights at Tuscumbia and elsewhere on the route. For ten days it was about constantly engaged. Part of the regiment served as train guards during the battles of Chattanooga and Mission Ridge, while another part acted as escorts and couriers. Its next service was in east Tennessee, and the Third battalion was a part of the brigade which cut its way through the enemy and gave Burnside infor- mation of approaching relief. The next spring the regi- ment effected a veteran organization, and was assigned to the Third division, Fifteenth corps. During the Atlanta campaign it saw much hard service, by which many of the men were dismounted and were unable to procure re- mounts. After July 13th the regiment remained the rest of the summer at Cartersville, guarding the railroad. November 8th it joined Kilpatrick's division, Second brigade, and began the march to the sea. In this it had numerous engagements, particularly distinguishing itself at Waynesborough, as also in the march through the Car- olinas, losing seventy-three killed, wounded, and missing
in the unfortunate affair at Monroe's Cross Roads, where Kilpatrick was surprised by Hampton. After the peace the Fifth held in order the sub-district of Morganton, comprising seventeen counties in western North Carolina, and then all that region. It was finally mustered out after a splendid but most arduous service, October 30, 1865.
