THIRTEENTH OHIO VOLUNTEER CAVALRY.
This command was formed by the consolidation of the Fourth and Fifth independent battalions, and by recruits during the winter of 1863-64. It was mustered into service May 6, 1864, for three years. Upon leaving Camp Chase it joined immediately the Ninth army corps, composing a part of the army of the Potomac, where, acting as infantry, it took part in the following battles: White House Landing, Charles City Court House, and the protracted siege and heavy assaults on the rebel works at Petersburgh. During the terrific assault at this place, which occurred July 30th, the Thirteenth made for itself a noble name, by the courage and daring of both officers and men. Its loss was nineteen killed, one hun- dred and thirty-three wounded, and fifty-one taken pris- oners. The regiment was also in engagements at Welden Railroad, Ream's Station, Poplar Grove Church, Pegram's Farm, and Boydtown Plank-road. On December 18th the regiment drew cavalry arms, equipments, and horses, and reported to Major General Gregg, commanding Sec- ond division, Cavalry corps, Army of the Potomac. In February it was in the battle of Hatcher's Run, and fol-

lowing this, with Major General Sheridan, it aided in the rout, destruction, and capture of the rebel army under Lee. On the seventh of April, after successful engage- ments near Dinwiddie Court House, at Jetersville, and at Sailor's Creek, it was made the advance regiment pressing and constantly fighting Lee's rear-guard. About noon it made a dash into Farmville, capturing three hun- dred and eight prisoners. Soon after, at a point between Prospect Station and Appomatox Court House, it, with the Sixth Ohio cavalry, captured a train of railroad cars, bearing forage and provisions for Lee's army. About daybreak, April 9th, Lee's forces made an impetuous dash at the National army, attempting to break the lines, but unsuccessfully. Here the division fought manfully, when it was charged by a division of Lee's infantry. The charge was resisted, but, on account of the superior num- bers of the enemy, they were forced to fall back to the edge of a wood. When the Thirteenth reached the point to which it was ordered, the crisis came which was to de- termine the fate of the rebel army. General Sheridan's entire cavalry force, the Thirteenth in the front, charged the enemy's whole line, which resulted in the surrender of Lee's army. Soon after the regiment accompanied General Sheridan's command to reinforce General Sher- man; but when near Danville, the news came that Johns- ton had surrendered his whole army, and the command at once returned to Petersburgh. At Columbus, the men received final discharge and pay, August 18th. The entire loss of the Thirteenth in the war was sixty-eight killed, two hundred and eighty-three wounded, and ninety-one captured. It took active part in fourteen hard-fought battles, captured one general, one stand of colors, and two thousand and sixty-six prisoners.

SECOND INDEPENDENT CAVALRY BATTALION.
This command receives no notice in Mr. Reid's book, probably because it had no field service as an indepen- dent organization. It was composed of four companies, recruited for the Eighth Ohio cavalry, in September and October, 1862, and mustered in therefor at Camp Denni- son, but assigned instead, February 4, 1863, to the Second Ohio cavalry, then much depleted by the casualties of war, and other causes. The service of the battalion was thenceforth with the Second.

HISTORY OF HAMILTON COUNTY, OHIO.
FOURTH OHIO INDEPENDENT BATTALION OF CAVALRY.
This was one of the military organizations organized in Cincinnati during the eventful late summer and fall of 1862. It was raised in five companies, between August 3d and September 21st, and accepted by the United States for six months' service. Its duty was necessarily detached, from the character of the command and its limited term of enlistment, and was comparatively uneventful. The companies were mustered out at various periods, as their several terms expired, from February 15th to March 14, 1864.

FIRST OHIO INDEPENDENT CAVALRY COMPANY.
This was raised in Cincinnati early in the war under State authority, for three months' service, before cavalry was called for by the general government. It was com- posed of an excellent class of young men from Hamil- ton and Butler counties, and was raised for three months' service by William H. Brudsall, of Cincinnati, who be- came its captain, aided by the active exertions and gen- erous expenditure of the lamented Minor Millikin, who was its first lieutenant. The officers took rank from June 5, 1861 ; their commissions were issued June 30th. After muster and equipment it was sent to western Vir- ginia, and was used to superior advantage in the first campaign through that wild and broken region. It proved literally, in the familiar language of General Rosecrans, "the eyes of the army." During its service the officers and men were almost constantly in the sad- dle, guarding trains, scouting the wild passes of the mountains, and frequently meeting organized and unor- ganized bands of the enemy in hand-to-hand encoun- ters. It was duly disbanded at the end of its short term, and most of its members went into the First Ohio cavalry, then recruiting for the three years' service.
[We have been unable to find the roll of this com- pany amid the very defective records of the three- months commands in the adjutant general's office at Columbus.]
THIRD OHIO INDEPENDENT CAVALRY COMPANY.
The early history of this command is very much like that of the First company just recited. It was raised about the same time, and for three months' service. It was purely a Cincinnati organization, raised under the personal supervision of Captain Pfau, from whom it was frequently called "Pfau's Company of Horse." In a short time it was ready for the field, and in early May was doing active duty in McClellan's campaign in west- ern Virginia. While there it was noted for the energy and success with which it performed the work of scout- ing and skirmishing assigned it by the general. In August it re-enlisted, and was mustered in for the three- years' service, but the next spring its separate identity was lost in the cavalry regiments then being sent from Ohio to the field.
