THE FIRST TENNESSEE CAVALRY. BY LIEUT .- COL. JAS. H. LEWIS, LEWISBURG, TENN.
IN May, 1861, under a call made by Hon. Isham G. Harris, Governor of the State, for volunteers for service in the army for the defense of the State of Ten- nessee, the number of men necessary for a battalion of cavalry were enlisted, there being at that time no cavalry command as large as a regiment accepted in the service. Of this number three companies were from Maury county, one from Wayne county, and one from Perry county. The battalion was organized at Camp Lee, two miles south of Mt. Pleasant, Maury county: Company A, Capt. J. B. Hamilton; Company B, Capt. Andrew J. Polk; Company C, Capt. Geo. M. V. Kin- zer-all from Maury county; Company E, Capt. N. N. Cox, Perry county; Com- pany D, Capt. J. B. Biffle, Wayne county. In June, 1861, the battalion organ- ized by the election of Samuel Jones, Lieutenant-colonel; N. N. Cox, Major; Wmn. Arnell, Adjutant; Dr. J. M. Towler, Surgeon; and other officers necessary to complete the organization.
The command was accepted by Governor Harris in the service of the State, and numbered the Second Battalion, McNairy's being the First Battalion-not that its men enlisted first, but because it organized one day earlier than ours, and was in camp near the city of Nashville. The Second Battalion remained in camp near Mt. Pleasant until about the last of July, 1861, when it marched, under orders, by the way of Nashville, to Camp Trousdale, on the Louisville and Nashville railroad, near the line between the States of Tennessee and Kentucky, and was assigned to the command of Col. John C. Brown, of the Third Tennessee Infantry, command- ant of the post as senior Colonel. About the last of August all the troops at that point were transferred from the State service to that of the Confederacy.
On the 17th of September, 1861, the railroad was repaired; after which the battalion marched to Bowling Green, Ky., with Capt. Woodward's independent company of cavalry, Brown's brigade of infantry going on the cars. These were the first troops at Bowling Green, and constituted the advance of Maj .- gen. Buck- ner's division. Two detachments of fifty men each were made from the battal- ion, the one sent forward to Munfordsville, near the crossing of the Louisville and Nashville railroad at Green River, under command of Lient. Jas. II. Lewis; the other, under command of Capt. J. B. Biffle, sent to the vicinity of Hopkins- ville, Ky., to look after Federal troops, and especially what were then called "Home Guards" in the State of Kentucky on the Federal side of the struggle. The Biffle detachment met the enemy near Hopkinsville in one or two engage- ments. Geo. W. Barham, private of Company E, from Perry county, was killed, and young Montague, of Company D, Wayne county, was shot, the ball passing (883)

through his lungs. Barham was the first man killed in the army then commanded by Buckner-afterward by Gen. Albert Sidney Johnston. At least it was so un- derstood at the time. The other detachment was on outpost duty and doing scout- ing service under the order of Col. Roger Hanson, Second Kentucky Confederate Infantry. The service was arduous and dangerous owing to the divided condition of the people in that part of Kentucky. The lamented John H. Morgan came to Woodsonville, which is on the south side of Green River, just opposite Munfords- ville, with a number of men organized into a company from Lexington, Ky., and its vicinity; among the number Basil W. Duke, afterward Brigadier-general of cavalry, whose gallant and meritorious service is well known.
About the 7th of October, 1861, a detachment of fifteen men from the fifty re- ferred to above, with about an equal number of Morgan's command, had a skir- mish with an Indiana regiment of Federal infantry. Morgan and the writer of this sketch were present. It was the first time either command was under fire during the war. The affair occurred about one mile south of Upton's Station, on the Louisville and Nashville railroad, and on the old Louisville and Nashville turnpike, and was with a part of what was then Gen. Rousseau's command, Fed- eral army. Soon after this the remainder of the battalion moved up to the front. In the meantime Lient .- col. Jones had resigned, and Maj. N. N. Cox commanded the battalion. Various detachments were engaged with the enemy on the front from time to time. The winter was exceedingly cold, and the command suffered greatly, and incurred heavy losses in the service and from sickness. It was the first winter of the great civil war. In December Capt. J. B. Biffle was elected Lieutenant-colonel of the battalion at Rocky Hill Station, Ky. The command was engaged with the enemy on several occasions; among others, at Greensboro, Mammoth Care, Bear Wallow, and Brownsville-a part of the time connected with Gen. Hindman's command. It brought up the rear of the army to Bowling Green, and from that place to Nashville; crossed the Cumberland River on the railroad bridge the day after the last day's fight at Fort Donelson. The wire bridge had been cut down. From Nashville the command moved in the direc- tion of Murfreesboro for a few miles, then across the country to Columbia, Tenn., bringing up the rear of Gen. Johnston's army to Decatur, Ala .; thence by Iuka and Burnsville to Corinth, Miss. It participated in the battle of Shiloh, and remained on part of the battle-field until the Thursday evening following the Monday of the last day's battle. Our line extended for about one and one-half mile across the battle-field, and between what was known as the general hospital and the Federal army. It has been repeatedly stated, on what purports to be high Federal authority, that our forces were driven entirely off the field on Mon- day by the Federals. This is not true. The above statement is correct; and our outposts were not driven from the field even as late as Thursday evening after the battle, but were voluntarily withdrawn at that time. A portion of the com- mand was regularly on duty on the Monterey road during Halleck's advance on Corinth and up to the time of the evacuation of that place by Gen. Beauregard.
In the summer of 1861 the Eleventh Tennessee Battalion of Cavalry was or- ganized at Camp Weakley, near Nashville, Tenn. It consisted of Company A, from Giles county, Capt. Jas. T. Wheeler; Company B, from same county, Capt. Andrew Gordon; Company C, from Davidson county, Capt. E. E. Buchanan; Company D, from same county, Capt. Edward L. Endsley; Company E, from

same county, Capt. William Rountree; Company F, from De Kalb and Smith counties, Capt. William Fouch. This battalion was attached to the brigade com- manded by Brig .- gen. Carroll, of Gen. Zollicoffer's command, with whom it was regularly on duty, and retired with Johnston's army to Corinth, Miss. It partici- pated in the battle of Shiloh, and was on outpost and scout service during all the arduous campaign from Shiloh to Corinth. In May, 1862, at Corinth, Miss., these two battalions were, by order of Gen. Beauregard, thrown together, making the command known in the army as the First Regiment Tennessee Cavalry. Lieut .- col. Biffle was elected Colonel; Wallace W. Gordon assigned to duty as its Lieutenant- colonel; William S. Hawkins, Major of the Eleventh Battalion, was assigned to) duty as Major of the regiment. Maj. N. N. Cox resigned, and Col. Gordon declined the position assigned to him as Lieutenant-colonel, and resigned his commission.
At the evacuation of Corinth, during the night of May 29, 1802, the command was outside the works on the lower Farmington road, under the order of Brig .- gen. Beal, Chief of Cavalry, and in advance of Gen. Cleburne's brigade of infant- ry. It was left without orders to move, and was forced to cut its way through the enemy's lines, they having entered Corinth in rear of the command. A part of the regiment had been left with Col. (afterward Brigadier-general) Lucius Polk's Arkansas regiment of infantry at Tuscumbia Creek, with orders to hold the position to the last extremity, and, as Gen. Hardee said, to save the army from destruction; he expecting at the time the command would all be killed or captured. The enemy, however, were beaten back, and the command w :- ordered to follow the army to Baldwyn, which it did, after forty-eight hours' exposure to the imminent peril at Tuscumbia Creek. The regiment assisted in bringing up the rear of the army to Baldwyn and Tupelo on the Mobile and Ohio railroad. At this time the command was reorganized under orders from the Secretary of War, James T. Wheeler being elected Colonel; James H. Lewis, Lieutenant-colonel; J. J. Dobbins, Major; J. W. S. Frierson, Adjutant; S. Y. Caldwell, Captain and Assistant Quartermaster; Jamies E. Abernathy, Captain and Assistant Commissary Subsistence; Dr. D. L. Dungan, Surgeon; Rer. .. .. Baker, Chaplain; James Alexander, Sergeant-major; and other officers necessary to complete the regimental organization. This occurred in July, 1862. When Gen. Bragg moved the army from Mississippi to Chattanooga on the march to Kentucky, the regiment was left under the command of Maj .- gen. Price. Under his orders it was on the front watching the movements of the Federal forces at Rienzi and Corinth. In the latter part of September, 1862, the regiment assiste.l in the capture of a regiment of infantry at Burnsville, and also took part in the battle of Inka, Miss., on the line of the Memphis and Charleston railroad, an l marched in advance of the army from Ripley, Miss., to Corinth. It was with Gen. Price's division at the battle of Corinth on the 5th and 6th of October, 1-02: Maj .- gen. Earl Van Dorn being in command of the Confederate, and Gen. Rose- crans of the Federal army. The conflict was terrific, being one of the hardest fought battles of the war as to Price's division. The regiment brought up the rear on the road over which the army retreated from the field, andI took position a few miles north of Holly Springs on outpost duty.
When Gen. Grant advanced with a large army estimated at one hundred then- sand, Gen. Van Dorn retired before him. It rained almost incessantly, and the roads were in a terrible condition. The army remained at Abbeville, Miss., on

the Mississippi Central railroad, for a short time, during which period Capts. Asa G. Freeman and L. K. Hooper had a severe engagement with a brigade of Fed- eral cavalry in and around the court-house at Holly Springs. Previous to this a part of the command under Gen. Armstrong at Middleton, West Tennessee, en- gaged a large body of Federal infantry, driving them back to Bolivar. Federal loss: killed, 60; prisoners, 71. Confederate loss: killed, 3; wounded, 7. Next day Armstrong's detachment was assailed at Britton's Lane by infantry and artil- lery, our brigade being in the engagement. This was near Denmark, and after a severe fight we drove the enemy from the field, capturing two pieces of artillery, their wagon-train, and one hundred and sixty prisoners. The army retired before Grant's overwhelming forces to Coffeeville and Grenada, Miss. Col. W. H. Jack- son, afterward Maj .- gen. of cavalry, was Chief of Cavalry of the army during the retrograde movement. At Water Valley the enemy interposed a large force of cavalry between Jackson and the infantry of our army. They were driven from their position, Jackson evincing all the skill and gallantry for which he was noted as an officer in the army. The regiment was very poorly armed, many of the men having nothing but double-barreled shot-guns, with the ordinary sporting percussion cap. The rain by day, and the cold damp ground upon which the boys rested at night, rendered these guns almost useless. It was a continuous skirmish with the advance of the enemy. In hundreds of instances the men snapped their guns in the very faces of the Federals, whose cavalry were armed with Spencer rifles, perhaps the best arm for cavalry in the world. It was facing death with great odds in favor of the enemy. One instance is given: Lieut. Joe H. Fussell, of Company E, was bringing up the rear of the regiment. He formed his line in the edge of the woods just on the outskirts of Oxford, Miss. The Fed- erals, seeing our helpless condition, charged him. The gallant old company, with its intrepid young commander, resisted the charge with clubbed guns in a hand- to-hand conflict, and drove back the enemy. It was a continuous fight through the streets of Oxford. Here, as in a thousand other instances during the war, the devotion and heroism of the women of the South were evinced. The balls were flying like hail along the streets, while a number of the ladies of Oxford waved their handkerchiefs and encouraged the boys in their resistance to the approach of the enemy. They came out on the sidewalk and exposed their lives. They did not seem to think of their own safety. In one instance a young lady stood on the pavement, when an officer rode up to where she was standing and said to her that she had better go to a place of safety. She said: "Are you men not in danger? and why should I refuse to expose my life?" She wanted the Federals driven back, but was told the enemy were in overwhelming force; that we had but a handful of men; that our orders were to fall back, covering the re- treat of the army. The enemy was then crowding the street within a short distance of where she was standing; but she refused to go, and stood waving her handkerchief to encourage our men, and in defiance of the enemy. We did not learn her name, but have oftentimes thought of this brave, intrepid girl. She was but a type of thousands of other Southern women, equally brave and true. Near Grenada, Miss., Gen. Van Dorn was relieved from command of the army, and was assigned command of the cavalry, Lieut .- gen. Pemberton taking his place. The regiment moved with Van Dorn's command more than one hundred miles on a forced march to Holly Springs in the rear of

Grant's army. Grant had collected a vast supply of stores at this point, esti- mated to be worth about three million dollars. Van Dorn had less than two thousand men. On the morning of December 20, 1862, he captured the town, more than twice the number of the enemy than he had men in his com- mand, and destroyed all of the stores. The charge into town was on horse- back, our regiment leading the charge on the Pontotoc road, other commands on other roads. The attack was just at daylight, and was a complete surprise to the enemy. This was one of the most brilliant achievements of the cavalry during the war. Col. Wheeler was in command of the brigade. Lieut. Joe H. Fussell, a member of his staff, made an attack on the picket with Company E. He at- tacked a regiment of infantry after having captured the picket. This was done in gallant style by Fussell and his company. Col. Wheeler was wounded and disabled from service until the following May. He rejoined the regiment: was wounded again in a short time at Franklin, Tenn .; rejoined the command at the time Bragg retreated from Middle Tennessee, in July, 1863. Capt. J. H. Polk was a prisoner, and in the winter of 1863-4 was, while a prisoner of war with other Con- federates, placed under the fire of Confederate batteries at Charleston, S. C., by way of retaliation, as they pretended. This was one of the most cruel acts of the war.
Within two days after the affair at Holly Springs, Grant's army was in retreat from Mississippi to Memphis, Tenn. It was said at the time that the fight at Holly Springs broke up the Cabinet's plan of campaign for the capture of Jack- son and Vicksburg, Miss. Van Dorn's com:hand moved back to Grenada, and in a few days marched from that place by Okolona, Miss., and Florence, Ala., to Co- lumbia, Tenn. From there, in the latter part of February, 1863, it moved to the front, at Spring Hill, Tenn. This was at the time the left of Gen. Bragg's line was in Middle Tennessee.
The regiment was still a part of Armstrong's brigade, which consisted of the Second Missouri, Third Arkansas, and First Tennessee regiments. It was on outpost duty at Spring Hill, participating in the fights at Thompson's Station, Brentwood, and other affairs in and around Franklin; also in the capture of a brigade of Federal infantry at the former and a large regiment of infantry at the latter place. The attack on Brentwood was a surprise to the enemy. The regi- ment captured a splendid set of silver instruments-twenty-four pieces-most of which were kept by the regimental band during the remainder of the war. We were at the time connected with Gen. N. B. Forrest's command. In accordance with his instructions, the regiment drove in the Federal pickets at Brown's Creek, on the Nashville and Franklin turnpike, in sight of the city of Nashville; doing the same thing on the Harding pike, and every road, including the Charlotte pike, and between the Franklin turnpike and Cumberland River; also capturing a num- ber of prisoners. This occurred early in March, 1863. From the time Col. Wheeler was wounded at Holly Springs, in December, 1862, up to this time, Lieut .- col. Lewis was in command of the regiment.
Early in May, 1863, Gen. Van Dorn was killed at Spring Hill, Tenn., and Gen. Forrest, having returned from what was known as the Streight raid, assumed com- mand of all the cavalry in the vicinity of Spring Hill. Capt. J. H. Polk's com- pany was the escort for Gen. Van Dorn previous to his death, and this regiment escorted his remains to the place of burial in the cemetery at Columbia, Tenn. Gen. Van Dorn had his critics, but he was undoubtedly one of the ablest com.

manders of cavalry the war produced. He was a graduate of the Military Acad- emy at West Point. He had been an officer in the regular army before the civil war, and had greatly distinguished himself in the Mexican war, and afterward among the Indians on the frontier.
Near the last of June, 1863, Forrest moved with Bragg's army across the mount- ains from Middle Tennessee. Under his orders, the regiment remained at Spring Hill forty-eight hours after all other commands had gone. This was for the pur- pose of watching the turnpike from Franklin to Columbia, resisting any move- ment of the enemy in that direction, and also to secure the removal of quarter- master's stores from Columbia by way of Huntsville, Ala., across the Tennessee River, and to keep Forrest advised as to the movements of the enemy, of whom there was a large force at Franklin. This accomplished, the regiment rejoined the division at Tullahoma, after a forced march, just as the last of the army was leaving that place. It then crossed the Cumberland Mountains, passing the site of the University of the South at Sewanee, to Stevenson, Ala., and Chattanooga, Tenn., bringing up the rear of the army. This was early in July, 1863.
After a few days spent in camp, Gen. Forrest moved his division, composed of Armstrong's and Dibrell's brigades, to Athens, East Tennessee. From this place the regiment was sent to a point near Kingston, Roane county, on the Emory River, and was engaged on scout and outpost duty on the roads leading from Ken- tucky into that part of East Tennessee until the Federal General Burnside moved on Knoxville. The regiment then returned to the brigade, and moved back with the division in the direction of Chattanooga. It took part in the battle of Chick- amauga, September 19 and 20, 1863. The service was exceedingly hard before the battle. The command was on the left of the army when it began. Report- ing to Gen. Wheeler and capturing a large number of prisoners, on the evening of the first day's battle it moved to the right of the army, reporting to Forrest, Lient .- col. Lewis commanding. Late in the evening it was on the right of Maj .- gen. Cleburne's division of infantry. An incident occurred here which amused the men very much. We were near the enemy's line, and could distinctly hear them working on their intrenchments. The ground in our front was level. An order had been issued by Gen. Forrest that no fires should be kindled. This or- der had not been communicated to Dr. Dungan, regimental Surgeon, who, togeth- er with assistants, had come up just in rear of the line an hour or more after dark. The night was cool, and the Doctor concluded he would have a fire made to warm himself and comrades and make a cup of coffee-which, by the way, had been captured from the Federals. The fire was soon in a bright blaze, which the enemy saw; and they opened on it with two or three pieces of artillery. One of the shells strnek the fire, scattering it in every direction, also the vessel contain- ing boiling coffee, exploded not far away, and, as the Doctor said, "played havoc generally." Two or three of the men were hurt by flying pieces of wood, but fort- unately no one was seriously injured. The boys said there was a good deal of "cussin'" done, but not another fire made that night. The men had their fun for a long while at Dr. Dungan's expense about his cup of coffee. He was a splen- did Surgeon and a general favorite with the regiment. He died a few years ago at his home in Little Rock, Ark.
The command assisted in the pursuit of Rosecrans's army to Chattanooga, and then, with the remainder of the division, marched back into East Tennessee. It

encountered a large force of cavalry at Cleveland, driving them before it to Cal- houn, Athens, Sweet Water, and Philadelphia, on the East Tennessee and Georgia railroad. For the most part it was a rapid retreat of the Federals. The men called it " the horse-races." A large number of prisoners were captured. Armi- strong's brigade was in front the first and Dibrell's the second day.
Gen. Forrest received orders to return to Calhoun and report to Gen. Wheeler. This he refused to do; took his old brigade, then commanded by Dibrell, and the battery of artillery, and moved in the direction of Chattanooga. Our brigade marched to the mouth of Hiawassee River, Col. Wheeler in command. We ford- ed the Tennessee River, driving the enemy from the opposite bank, marched to the Sequatchie Valley, and assisted in capturing an army train of more than one thousand wagons with its convoy of fifteen hundred men. The wagons were load- ed with supplies for the Federal army, then in almost a state of siege at Chat- tanooga. The regiment assisted in the capture of the garrison of four hundred men at MeMinnville, Tenn., aided in destroying the railroad track and bridges from Murfreesboro to a point east of Wartrace, capturing and burning stocka les as we came to them. We made a forced march by night, crossing Duck River at White's Bridge, and participated in the fight at Farmington, between Shelby- ville and Lewisburg, Tenn., bringing up the rear. Here we were relieved by the Eighth Texas Regiment. At this point Co. E, Maj. Dobbins in command, with Lieut. Joe II. Fussell, was sent to Columbia, Tenn., at which place they drove off the garrison, capturing a number of prisoners, and burned a large quan- tity of Government stores. The other companies marched to and forded the Tennessee River near the mouth of Elk River, at Muscle Shoals.
