FIFTH KENTUCKY CAVALRY.
The Fifth was organized at Camp Sandidge, Gallatin, Tennessee, under Colonel David R. Haggard, and mustered into the service March 31, 1862, by Major W. H. Sidell, United States mustering officer. It was raised in the southern portion of Kentucky, and was composed of those sturdy yeomanry who have always been distin- guished for their patriotism and the love of jus- tice and liberty. During the organization they labored under many disadvantages, owing to the frequent invasions of the enemy into the district where it was recruited. It was mustered into service with seven hundred and eighty-nine men, and was placed upon duty during the active campaigns of General Buell, and participated in all the early engagements in Tennessee, and by their soldierly conduct won the esteem of the commanding general. The regiment participated in the following battles and skirmishes in which losses are reported, viz: Burksville, Kentucky ; Gallatin, Tennessee ; Monroe's Cross Roads, North Carolina ; Louisville, Georgia; Adairville, Georgia ; Millen's Grove, Georgia ; Sweeden's

SIXTH KENTUCKY CAVALRY.
The First battalion of the Sixth Kentucky cavalry was organized at Camp Irvine, Jefferson county, under Major Reuben Munday, and was mnstered into the United States service December 23, 1861, by Major W. H. Sidell. This battalion comprised five companies, and was commanded by Major Monday until August, 1862, when companies F, G, H, I, K, L, and M were re- cruited and the consolidation effected. Previous to the consolidation the First battalion was as- signed to General George W. Morgan's division, and did important service with that command in obtaining and occupying Cumberland Gap. Be- ing the only organized cavalry in the division, the duties assigned it were arduous and of great importance. When the Gap was evacuated in 1862 by General Morgan, this battalion formed the advance or covered the rear, as occasion demanded, through Eastern Kentucky to the Ohio river, contending with the enemy every day. When the consolidation was effected, Colonel D. J. Hallisy was commissioned colonel, and the regiment assigned to the cavalry divis- ion of the Army of the Cumberland, and by its

efficiency and discipline and gallantry won dis- tinction in every engagement. It is to be regret- ted that the officers of this command failed to furnish a full history of all its operations, as it is justly entitled to a reputation among the first for bravery, discipline, and dash in the Western army. The regiment was engaged in the follow- ing battles in which loss was sustained, viz: Tazewell, Tennessee; Cumberland Gap, Powell River, Tennessee ; Perryville, Kentucky ; Cowan's Station, Tennessee; Lipsey Swamp, Alabama, . and the early battles fought by Generals Buell and Rosecrans in Tennessee.

SIXTH KENTUCKY VETERAN CAVALRY.
The Sixth Kentucky cavalry veteranized in January, 1864, at Rossville, Georgia, and re- turned to Kentucky on the furlough of thirty days allowed by the War department, at the ex- piration of which it returned to Chattanooga, Tennessee, and was assigned to the Third brig- age, First division, commanded by General L. D. Watkins. From Chattanooga it marched to Wauhatchie, Tennessee, and remained near two months, and then marched to Lafayette, Geor- gia ; thence to Calhoun, Georgia, and Resaca. From Resaca marched with the advance of Gen- eral Sherman, by way of Dalton and Snake Creek Gap, to Gadsden, Alabama, where, the horses giving out, the regiment returned to Louisville, Kentucky, to be remounted. From Louisville, after being remounted and equipped, it was ordered to Nashville, Tennessee, and par- ticipated in the pursuit of General Lyon through Kentucky ; after which it marched to Waterloo, Alabama, at which point, the cavalry being reor- ganized, this regiment was assigned to General Croxton's First division of General Wilson's corps, and marched to Chickasaw, Alabama ; from there marched with General Wilson through Alabama. Leaving the main command at Montevallo, the Sixth proceeded to Tuscaloosa, where it met the enemy in force, and was en- gaged in a severe battle. From Tuscaloosa it marched by way of Newnan to Macon, Georgia, rejoining the main command of General Wilson. From Macon it marched to Louisville, Ken- tucky, where it was mustered out on the 6th day of September, 1865, having participated in the following battles, viz: Lafayette, Resaca, Snake Creek Gap, Georgia; King's Hill, Tuscaloosa, Alabama ; Nashville, Tennessee ; Summerville, Georgia, and Hopkinsville, Kentucky.

NINTH KENTUCKY CAVALRY.
.
The following statement of the condition, strength, and operations of the Ninth Kentucky Volunteer cavalry, since its organization, to the Irth of September, 1863, is taken from the regimental records, and from other authentic sources.
-
This regiment was organized at Eminence, under Colonel Richard T. Jacob. and mustered into service on the 22d day of August, 1862, by Major L. Sitgraves. After it was mustered-in it marched 10 Crab Orchard, Kentucky, two com- panies being detached as a body-guard to Gen- eral Nelson. These two companies participated in the battle of Richmond, Kentucky, and after that the regiment marched from Lexington to Louisville, covering the retreat of the Federal forces before Kirby Smith. After two weeks' stay at Louisville the regiment marched in ad- vance of Buell's army toward Perryville. At Taylorsville Colonel Jacob was ordered to take one-half of the regiment and march to Shelby- viile, with instructions to report to General Sill; Lieutenant-colonel Boyle, with the remainder of the regiment, still remained with General Buell's army and participated in the battle of Perryville. The portion of the regiment under command of Colonel Jacob was assigned to General Kirk's brigade, and marched from Shelbyville to Frank- fort. At Clay village the regiment came up with Scott's rebel brigade, and after a severe engage- ment defeated them, with the loss of a few killed and many prisoners. On the following Monday this portion of the regiment, in advance of Gen- eral Sill's division, drove Scott's cavalry out of Frankfort and took possession of the city, and were skirmishing with the enemy all the follow- ing day.
From Frankfort it marched towards Harrods- burg, and met the enemy in force at Lawrence- burg, where, in a desperate hand-to-hand fight, the enemy was forced from the field. In this engagement Colonel Jacob was severely wounded, and was compelled to relinquish his command to Captain Harney. Four days after this fight the regiment was again united, and, under command of Lieutenant-Colonel Boyle, engaged in the pur- suit of Bragg, and after his retreat beyond the Kentucky line the regiment was stationed on
the Tennessee border to protect the State against the frequent incursion of the rebels, and was daily engaged with the enemy, capturing many prisoners. Colonel Jacob rejoined the regiment in December, 1862, and they remained on the border until July, 1863, when they were in the pursuit of Morgan through Kentucky, Indiana, and Ohio, and participated in the fights at Buff- ington Island and St. George's Creek, Ohio, where Major Rue, with a portion of the Ninth, Eleventh, and Twelfth Kentucky Cavalry cap- tured Morgan the 26th day of July, 1863. The regiment then returned to Eminence, Ken- tucky. It participated in the following battles and skirmishes, viz: Richmond, Clayvillage, Frankfort, Lawrenceburg, Perryville, Harrods- burg, Horse Shoe Bend, Marrowbone, Kentucky, Buffington Island, and St. George's Creek, Ohio. It was mustered-out at Eminence, Kentucky, September 11, 1863.
