FIRST REGIMENT IOWA VOLUNTEER CAVALRY
	The official records in the office of the Adjutant General of the State if Iowa show 
the original rosters of the twelve companies which composed the First Regiment of 
Cavalry, at the date of their muster of the regiment.  The regiment was organized under the 
proclamation of President Lincoln, bearing date May 3, 1861.  Burlington was designated 
as the general rendezvous, and the companies were ordered into quarters at that place, by 
Governor Kirkwood, July 18, 1861, with the exception of Company M, which was ordered 
into quarters at Davenport, September 2, 1861, and was there mustered into the service 
September 12, 1861, and was shortly afterwards ordered to join the other companies at 
Burlington.  Companies A to I, inclusive, were mustered by Captain Alexander Chambers, 
of the United States Army, at Burlington, on the 30th and 31st days of July, 1861, who also 
mustered Companies K and L, at Burlington, August 17, 1861, and Company M, at 
Davenport, September 12, 1861.  The total number of the regiment—frank and file—at 
muster in was 1,0354, and this number was soon increased, by additional enlistments, to 
1,245.  The regiment had had the honor of being the first volunteer cavalry organization, 
which had enlisted for a three years' term of service, to be accepted by the Government.  
The personnel of the regiment was of the highest character, both as to enlisted men and 
officers.  Among its commissioned officers were some of the ablest men in the State.  Its 
first commander, Colonel Fitz Henry Warren, was one of the most noted journalists of his 
time. He had become the Associate Editor of the New York Tribune, and his earnest 
advocacy of the cause of the Union, and his insistence upon an active and vigorous 
prosecution of the war had been effectual in arousing the patriotism of loyal citizens, and 
causing them to realize the magnitude of the rebellion, and the tremendous task of 
subduing it, which confronted the Government.
	The officers and men of the regiment preferred to select and won their horses, many 
of which they had brought with them from their homes.  The law at that time permitted this 
personal ownership, the Government allowing ample pay for the use and risk of the 
animals.  The regiment was thus able to secure a better average quality and value of horses 
than those usually supplied to the cavalry regiments of he Regular Army.
	The short time the regiment was allowed to remain in its first camp, near Burlington, 
was utilized to the utmost extent in learning the rudiments of the cavalry drill and the 
general character of the duties of officers and enlisted men in camp and field.  The time 
was too short, however, to properly fit them for the arduous work of an active campaign 
against the enemy, in which the greater part of the regiment was very soon to engage.  In 
fact, no amount of previous training could have fitted them for the peculiar character of the 
service they were called upon to perform during the first years of their term.  They had to 
learn, by practical experience in the field, the character and methods of the enemy with 
whom they were contending, and, as will be seen, they passed through a hard and most 
difficult school of experience, which involved vastly more than is taught in the regular 
military curriculum.
	On the 30th day of September, 1861, six companies of the regiment embarked on 
steamers and barges and were conveyed to St. Louis, where they arrived October 2d, and 
went into quarters at Benton Barracks, where troops were constantly arriving and departing 
for the field.  Here they were joined by four companies, two days later.  Companies L and 
M were detained in camp at Burlington, waiting to receive their uniforms and horse 
equipments, and did not arrive at Benton Barracks until October 17th.  The Government 
was not at that time, and for a long time later, able to procure the arms necessary to fully 
equip all the cavalry regiments.  Revolvers and sabers were the arms with which the 
regiment was first equipped.  With such arms it was necessary to engage the enemy at 
close quarters, in order to secure effectual results.  The carbine was an important part of a 
cavalry soldier's armament, particularly when fighting dismounted, as he was more or less 
frequently required to do when engaged against an infantry or dismounted cavalry enemy.  
The cavalry soldiers not provided with carbines were, therefore, placed at a disadvantage, 
except when fighting at very close range or engaged in a hand to hand conflict, when the 
saber and revolver were the most effective weapons.
	The State of Missouri was rent and torn by the terrible fractional strife between those 
of her citizens who adhered to the cause of the Union and those who had espoused the 
cause of the Rebellion.  Armed conflicts were of frequent occurrence, and the number of 
those who had cast their lot with the rebel cause had increased to such proportions as to tax 
to the utmost the available resources of the Government, and its endeavors to protect the 
loyal citizens, who were subjected to pillage and murder at the hands of lawless bans, often 
composed of those who had been their friends and neighbors previous to the breaking out 
of fratricidal war.  These rebel bands, being mostly well mounted and familiar with the 
country, could only be successfully pursued by cavalry. Into this difficult and dangerous 
field of service came the First Iowa Cavalry, to learn its first lessons in the dreadful trade 
of war.  The conditions which then confronted the regiment were largely the same during 
the greater part of its long term of service and have been well described by one of its 
members, who subsequently achieved fame and distinction in civil life, and whom the 
compiler of this sketch takes the liberty of quoting as follows:
	The early October days found us in Missouri, and thenceforth we were assigned to 
duties such as none could have well performed save only the highest in the soldierly and 
patriotic qualities of patience, fortitude, unflinching courage and supreme devotion to a 
cause.  Every hardship known to war fell to our lot.  The somber picture we daily faced 
was for years unlit by a single gleam of those glories which, in regular warfare, light up the 
soldier's pathway to glory or the grave.  Our battlefields were in the byways and waste 
places, where the human foxes we followed had their holes.  Our marches were often in the 
night time for from every hilltop, and sometimes from the tree top, looked out a watcher to 
note our progress and fix the ambush.  And though compelled to this duty, we were left 
without proper arms, and for two-thirds of our term of enlistment were not so well armed 
for the business we were engaged in as were the enemies we followed.  But our duty was 
performed without repining, and I believe that if the history of our whole service could be 
written up with that minuteness with which Kinglake has told the story of the Crimean 
campaign, that it would appear that for individual daring, for extent of country covered and 
protected, for extent of marches, for number of conflicts, and for soldierly endurance and 
self denial, no regiment in the service excelled that to which we belonged, or deserved 
better of its country.
	The compiler of this historical sketch finds it impossible to go into particularity of 
details without exceeding the limitation of space allowed him in this work,, and he will, 
therefore, confine himself to a brief description of the principal events in the history of the 
regiment.
	On the 18th of October, 1861, the First Battalion of the regiment, consisting of 
Companies A, B. F and G, under command of Captain Leffingwell, left Benton Barracks 
under orders to report to General Pope.  The battalion joined the troops under General 
Pope's command and was assigned to the duty of advance guard and scouts, on the march 
to Springfield.  On the 9th of November the Union forces evacuated Springfield, and that 
portion of the State was, for a time, left in the possession of the rebel army under General 
Price.  Captain Leffingwell was ordered to proceed to Otterville with his detachment.  In 
the meantime, the Second Battalion had been ordered to take the field, and shared, with the 
First, the hardships of the winter campaign; while the Third Battalion, under Colonel 
Warren, remained on duty at Benton Barracks until March 6, 1862, at which time he was 
ordered to Sedalla, Mo., where he arrived, with the Third Battalion, on March 9th.  From 
that date the entire regiment was engaged in active operation, by companies and 
detachments, operating from different points and covering a wide extent of territory.
	The first engagement in which any portion of the regiment participated was fought 
on the 19th day of December, 1861, on Black River, near the town of Milford, Mo., by a 
detachment of the First Iowa Cavalry, under command of Major Torrence, a detachment of 
the Fourth United States Cavalry, and a section of artillery belonging to a Missouri battery.  
This force attacked a camp of recruits, who were on their way to join the rebel army under 
General Price.  In his official report to General Halleck, General Pope gives a detailed 
account of this engagement, from which the following extracts are taken:
	Colonel Davis marched promptly and vigorously with the forces under his 
command, and at a late hour in the afternoon came upon the enemy, encamped in the 
wooded bottom land on the west side of Blackwater opposite the mouth of Clear Creek.  
His pickets were immediately driven in across the stream, which was deep, miry, and 
impassable, except by a long narrow bridge which the enemy occupied in force.  Colonel 
Davis brought forward his force, and directed that the bridge be carried by assault.  The 
two companies of the Fourth Regular Cavalry being in advance, under the command 
respectively of Lieutenant Gordon and Lieutenant Amory, were designated for that service, 
and were supported by the five companies of the First Iowa.  Lieutenant Gordon of the 
Fourth Cavalry led the charge in person with the utmost gallantry and vigor, carried the 
bridge in fine style, and immediately formed his company on the opposite side. He was 
promptly followed by the other companies.  The force of the enemy posted on the bridge 
retreated precipitately over a narrow open space in the woods, where his whole force was 
posted.  Our forces still continuing to press forward, and the enemy finding his retreat 
south and west cut off, and that he was in presence of a large force, and at best could only 
prolong the contest a short time, surrendered at discretion.  His force, reported by the 
Colonel commanding, consisted of parts of two regiments of Infantry and three companies 
of Cavalry, numbering in all 1,300 men.  About 500 horses and mules, 72 wagons heavily 
loaded with powder, lead, tents, subsistence stores, and supplies of various kinds, fell into 
our hands, as also 1,000 stand of arms.  The numbers as stated were reported to me by 
Colonel Robinson, Colonel J. C. Davis, and by Major Torrence, First Iowa Cavalry.  
Within five days the infantry forces composing this expedition have marched 100 miles, 
the cavalry more than double that distance; have swept the whole country of the enemy 
west of Sedalia, and as far as Rose Hill. To a line within 15 miles of the Osage; have 
captured nearly 1,500 prisoners, 1200stand of arms, nearly 100 wagons, and a large 
quantity of supplies.  The march alone would do credit to old soldiers, and t give me 
pleasure to state that it has been performed with cheerfulness and alacrity.  A list of our 
killed and wounded will be transmitted as soon as possible.
	It will thus be seen that very important results were obtained from the expedition and 
engagement, in which the First Iowa Cavalry bore a very conspicuous part.
	The next engagement—known as the "Battle of Silver Creek"—was participated in 
by four companies of the First Iowa Cavalry, associated with detachments from the First 
Missouri and "Merrill's Horse" and the Fourth Independent Company Ohio Volunteer 
Cavalry, (commanded by Captain John S. Foster,) all under command of Major Torrence, 
of the First Iowa.  The following brief extracts from the official report of Major Torrence 
will serve to show the efficient service rendered by the detachment of the First Iowa:
					FAYETT, HOWARD COUNTY, MO., Jan. 11, 1862.
	By order of General Pope we proceeded from Otterville to this county, for the 
purpose of dispersing sundry rebel camps which were being formed in the vicinity, and 
arrived here Sunday, Jan. 5, 1862.  On the morning of the 8th five to guard our camp here, 
the command was on the march at 8 o'clock.  We arrived near the location of their camp, 
which was situated on or near the head-waters of Silver Creek, about 4 P. M., and made the 
attack at half past four P. M.  The enemy were protected by dense woods and underbrush 
and there was no approach to them save through a narrow road, only wide enough for two 
men to ride abreast.  Our troops were ordered to dismount, every fifth man holding horses, 
and we prepared to fight on foot.  The engagement commenced at once.  The enemy 
faltered, gave back, retreated in disorder, and we soon had possession of their camp.
	The report further states that the pursuit was soon abandoned and the troops returned 
to the rebel camp, which was destroyed, there being no transportation for the captured 
property.  It was found impossible to overtake the rebels, they being well mounted and 
familiar with the roads and by-ways of the wooded country in which they made their 
camps.  In this engagement the command lost 27 men, killed and wounded.  The loss of the 
enemy could not be definitely learned, but was supposed to be about 60 in killed and 
wounded.  James Convey, of the First Iowa, was mortally wounded and died the next day.  
The other belonging to the regiment, who were wounded, were James Scott, Thomas 
Fletcher, Stephen M. Sexton, Cornelius Thompson, and Andrew Johnson.
	During the remainder of the winter the companies of the First and Second Battalions 
of the regiment were almost constantly on the move.  They dispersed many rebel army, 
except those who went in small squads or singly, and kept off the main roads.  Among the 
important captures was that of Brigadier General Tom Price, son of Major General Price, 
the commander of the rebel army.  Many horses, mules, wagons and other property useful 
and necessary to the enemy were captured or destroyed. But the men who supported the 
rebel cause were of such desperate and stubborn nature that no disaster seemed sufficient 
to discourage or conquer their spirits, and they continued their efforts to regain control of 
the State, even believing that they might eventually reverse conditions and transfer the 
theater of war to the North. It became evident that the struggle was to be prolonged, and 
that all the resources at the command of the Government would be required to full restore 
its authority in those border States.  In fact, that result was not accomplished in every 
portion of the State of Missouri until the close of the war.
	With the opening of spring, and under more favorable weather conditions, the 
operations of both Union and rebel troops became more active and aggressive.  On the 6th 
of March, 1862, Colonel Warren left Benton Barracks with the Third Battalion and arrived 
at Sedalia, Mo., March 9th.  The whole regiment was now in the field.  The headquarters of 
the regiment were, for a time, at Clinton and, later at Sedalia, the different detachments 
reporting their operations to Colonel Warren, who made his reports to Brigadier General 
James Totten, commanding the District of Central Missouri.  There are many of these 
reports showing the constant activity of the different detachments, their skirmishes with the 
enemy, prisoners, horses and other property captured, casualties sustained, etc., which 
demonstrate the importance of the service rendered by the regiment during this period of 
the war.  The following account of one of these encounters will serve to show the general 
experience of the different detachments and may be considered as typical of all, differing 
from the others only in matter of detail, number engaged, etc.
	On the 14th of April 1862, a detachment of the regiment, under command of 
Lieutenant Colonel C. E. Moss, had a skirmish with a band of rebels on Sac River.  On the 
evening of the same day, Lieutenant Colonel Moss, who had proceeded with Lieutenant 
Barnes and a part of Company K to the town of Montevallo, leaving Captain Bryan to 
bring forward the rest of the command found himself with his small force suddenly 
surrounded by a superior force of the enemy.  In the fight which ensued the leader of the 
rebel band was killed and quite a number of his men were killed and wounded.  The First 
Iowa Cavalry had two men killed and seven wounded in this engagement.  The following 
brief extract, from the official report of Lieutenant Colonel Moss, shows the conduct of his 
men in this engagement:
	Never did men under similar circumstances display greater gallantry than those with 
me that night.  Being exposed to a most murderous fire from double their number of men 
well armed, not a man flinched or showed any disposition to surrender, or give up the 
contest.  Lieutenant Barnes and Andrew J. Pugh (my guide) deserve my warmest thanks 
for their cool gallantry and determined courage.  The rebel band was found to be composed 
mostly of persons living or staying in the immediate vicinity of the place.
	During the month of May, 1862, headquarters of the regiment were at Butler, Mo.  
On May 2d, Colonel Warren, with 200 men and a section of the First Missouri Light 
Artillery, started on a scout to the Marias Des Cygnes River, and, on the 11th, returned with 
30 prisoners and a quantity of arms, ammunition and a number of horses and mules 
captured from the enemy.  On the 15th, the forage train was fired upon, four miles from 
camp, by a band of bushwhackers, and three men were killed and one wounded.  On the 
26th and 27th, the forage train was again attacked and four men were killed and one 
wounded.  These attacks were made with a rush, the enemy quickly disappearing, and in 
neither case were the cavalry, sent in pursuit, able to overtake them.  During the month of 
June, 1862, the twelve companies of the regiment were engaged in scouting over a wide 
range of territory covering six counties, and doing guard duty at the various posts in the 
military sub-district to which they were assigned.
	The head quarters of the regiment remained at Butler during the month of July.  On 
the 8th, a detachment of 100 men, under command of Lieutenant Reynolds, attacked a band 
of guerrillas, led by the notorious Quantrill, on the Lotspeach farm in Cass County: but, 
finding the enemy strongly posted and their number superior to his own, he gave up the 
effort to dislodge them, after having lost one man killed and two men wounded.  He 
retreated to Clinton. On the 9th, all the men and officer of Companies A, G and H, stationed 
at Clinton, left camp under command of Major James O. Gower, and were joined near the 
Lotspeach farm, on the 10th, by detachments from the companies of the regiment stationed 
at Butler, under command of Captain W. H. Ankeny, of Company M, and also by a small 
body of troops from Warrensurg belonging to other regiments: the entire force being under 
command of Major Gower.  In the meantime the rebel force, under Qunatrill, had retreated 
to a strong position among the wooded hills of Big Creek timber, four miles west of 
Pleasant Hill, in Cass County.  There Major Gower attacked them and after a short but 
fierce engagement, succeeded in routing them, killing and wounding a large number and 
capturing some property.  In this engagement the troops under Major Gower exhibited 
great bravery and received his hearty commendation, the First Iowa Cavalry lost 3 killed 
and 0 wounded in the engagement, among the latter Lieutenants Reynolds and Foster and 
Adjutant D. A. Kerr.  During the remainder of the month the companies of the regiment 
were engaged in scouting in the vicinity of the various posts occupied by them.
	During the month of August, 1862, the headquarters of the regiment remained at 
Butler.  On the 2d, detachments from Companies E, L. and M, under command of Captain 
Caldwell, Company I, encountered in the timer on Clear Creek, St. Clair County, a band of 
guerrillas, said to number 300 or 400 men, well armed and mounted, under command of 
one Clowers, a notorious outlaw.  After a brief but desperate struggle, in which the enemy 
lost 11 killed, our troops, being greatly outnumbered, retired and awaited reinforcements, 
having sent for them to Butler, Clint and Osceola.  The next day Colonel Warren arrived 
with the needed reinforcements, but, in the meantime, the enemy had fled and could not be 
overtaken.  In the engagement on the 2d, Captain H. H. Heath, of Company L, led the 
charge with his detachment of 75 men.  In his report Captain Heath says:
	In this engagement our loss was four killed and fourteen wounded, myself among 
the latter number. The names of the gallant men who fell that morning are Albert C. 
Alford, Caleb C. Botwood and Michael J. Driscoll, of Company K, and Elisha A. Roland 
of Company M.  We also lost several horses killed, among which was my own.  In this 
engagement were many who had never been under the fire before, but their courage was 
manifest amidst a most terrific fire of musketry within a few paces of them and from an 
enemy, for the most part, concealed within a thickly studded ambush of undergrowth, and 
who could only be discovered as they rose, and poured forth their murderous fire upon us.  
Lieutenants Berryman and Edsell, and Sergeant Dunham, of Company M, particularly 
distinguished themselves as brave and worth officers.  Subsequent pursuits by Colonel 
Warren, with a considerable force, discovered the fact that the rebels had placed a wide 
tract of country, between themselves and the First Iowa Cavalry.
	About one week later the headquarters of the regiment were removed to Sedalia, and 
from there Colonel Warren, with a large detachment of his regiment, proceeded to join 
General Blunt's forces at Lone Jack, Mo., and took part in the pursuit of several thousand 
rebels, marching, while absent, over 300 miles.  On the 26th, the regiment returned to Camp 
Warren, near Clinton, and went into camp there for a brief rest.  Previous to starting on this 
expedition—on August 7, 1862—the posts at Butler and Osceola had been evacuated and 
all companies of the regiment were, for the first time in many months, concentrated in one 
camp.  The regiment remained in camp until September 20th, on which date it started on the 
march to Springfield, arriving there on th 28th, at which time it was assigned to the Second 
Brigade, First Division, Army of the Southwest, Colonel Dye, of the Twentieth Iowa 
Infantry, commanding, and marched to Camp McCellan, twelve miles west of Springfield, 
where it remained until the close of the month.
	On the 1st of October, 1862, the regiment, with its brigade and division started on the 
march in pursuit of the enemy,--a march made memorable to all the troops of the brigade 
and division on account of its length, its circultous course, the elusive and baffling 
movements of the enemy and the hardships endured.  On the 2d the command passed 
through Mt. Vernon and camped on Center Creek.  On the 3d continued the march to 
Newtonia.  On the 4th came up with the rear of the enemy and had a slight skirmish.  On 
the 9th continued march to Cassville.  On the 16th the regiment was transferred to Second 
Brigade, Third Division, Army of the Frontier.  On the 17th continued march, and on the 
18th marched all day and went into camp near Bentonville, Arkansas.  On the 20th marched 
all night and the next day and bivouacked on White River.  Marched night of 21st and 22d 
to Glade Creek, near Huntsville, and, halting there for supper, marched all night to camp 
on White River.  On the 23d marched back to Cross Hollow, Arkansas, going into camp at 
Valley Springs.  On the 27th ten companies of the regiment mad a night march to a point, 
eight miles southeast of Fayetteville, Arkansas, and had a skirmish with the enemy on the 
morning of the 28th, in which Samuel C. Dickerson, Quartermaster of the regiment was 
killed.  On the 29th the ten companies returned to camp at Valley Springs.
	On the 1st day of November, 1862, the regiment was in camp at Valley Springs, Ark.  
On the 4th it marched to Elkhorn Tavern, on the old Pea Ridge battlefield, arriving there 
late at night.  During the remainder of the month the regiment marched from point in 
pursuit of the enemy, and officers and men were in the middle almost constantly during the 
day and many times, far into the night.  The record shows a distance of 154 miles marched 
prior to the 25th of the month, on which date all the available officers and men of the 
regiment started from Camp Curtis on a scout to Yellville, Ark., from which they returned 
on the 30th, having marched while on the scout 250 miles, and making over 400 miles for 
the month.
	On the 3 day of December, 1862, the regiment, with its brigade and division, left 
Camp Curtis, marching southward, and, at midnight on the 6th. Reached the headquarters of 
General James G. Blunt, at Cane Hill, Ark., having marched 98 miles, and having been in 
the saddle 18 consecutive hours.  The Second Battalion of the regiment was detailed as rear 
guard for the wagon train of the division, and consequently did not arrive in time to 
participate in the battle which ensued.  Owing to the fact that General Herron's division 
had been fighting for several hours before General Blunt's division arrived upon the battle 
field and attacked the enemy in the rear, the heavy part of the fighting was over at that 
time, and darkness soon put an end to the conflict.  Moreover, the conditions were 
unfavorable for bringing the cavalry into close contact with the enemy, and therefore the 
part taken by the two battalions of the First Iowa was mainly that of skirmishers and 
flankers, which subjected them to smaller loss than they had sustained in many previous 
engagements.  Nevertheless, the First and Third Battalions of the regiment performed their 
whole duty at the battle of Prairie Grove.  They obeyed the orders they received implicitly 
and accepted the minor but important positions assigned them after their arrival upon the 
field, and received the full share of credit to which they were justly entitled.  The Second 
Battalion was also doing its full share of duty where it had been placed, guarding the 
supply train, the protection of which was so important to all the troops composing the 
division.  Every true soldier knows that to be assigned to such duty, when a great battle is 
in progress; to hear the roar of battle and know that, when the official reports are written, 
his name and that of his company or regiment will not be included among those who were 
active participants, always occasions a feeling of regret.  The battle of Prairie Grove was 
the one of greatest magnitude in which the First Regiment of Iowa Cavalry participated 
during its long and arduous term of service.  That it did not have a conspicuous part in that 
hard fought battle was not the fault of its officers and men or of its Brigade Commander.  
The regiment did all that it was ordered to do, and earned the full measure of credit that 
was accorded to it in the official reports.  While it was not theirs to share in the glory of 
having been in the midst of the battle, it was theirs to have stood ready and willing to lead 
the charge into the thickest of the fight, had they been called upon to do so.
	On December 27th the regiment started with the expedition, under command of 
Generals Blunt and Herron, to Van Buren, Ark., and took part in the capture of that place 
on the 28th, together with five Arkansas River steamboats loaded with large quantities of 
army supplies and many prisoners.  Returning from that expedition on the last day of the 
month and year 1862, the regiment went onto camp at Prairie Grove, but only remained 
there during the first day of the new year.
	On the 2d day of January, 1863, the Third Division of the Army of the Frontier, of 
which the regiment was now a part, left its encampment at Prairie Grove  and marched by 
the way of Fayette , Huntsville and Carrollton to Forsyth on White River, Mo.  Major 
Daniel Anderson, with about 400 of the regiment, left the division of Fayetteville on 
January 4 and proceeded to scour the country in advance and along the flanks of the line of 
march, captured a number of prisoners, gained much valuable information, and arrived at 
Huntsville two days in advance of the division.  On January 10, Major J. W. Caldwell, with 
400 men, marched from Huntsville to a point on Buffalo River, a distance of 60 miles, and, 
early on the morning of the 11th, surprised and captured 75 guards in charge of extensive 
saltpeter works, which had been constructed by the rebels for the manufacture of powder.  
These works were situated near the summit of a mountain.  The troopers of the First Iowa 
Cavalry clambered up the mountain side, taking the guards by surprise, and causing them 
to beat a hasty retreat.  The machinery and buildings, together with several tons of saltpeter
Were destroyed by fire.  Captain McQueen, with 200 men, was sent to destroy works of a 
similar kind about ten miles distant, which was accomplished in like manner, the guards 
offering but feeble resistance.  While returning, Captain McQueen succeeded in capturing 
a drove of horses and mules destined for the rebel army, together with the guards in charge; 
in this affair Lieutenant Dustin, Sergeant Morrill and Corporals Newell and Wisener 
displayed great efficiency and gallantry.  On the same day Captain Jenks, who was on 
picket duty with the detachment, was attacked by a band of rebels, and, in the fight which 
ensued, the rebel leader was killed by Captain Jenks.  The detachment rejoined the main 
command at Carrollton on the 14th.
	On the 15th, all the available cavalry force of the division, under command of 
Colonel Gower, made a rapid march to Yellville, to intercept the rebel General Marmaduke 
on his retreat, after his unsuccessful attack on Springfield.  A few prisoners captured, with 
a considerable amount of property, was the result of the expedition, the rebel General 
succeeding in making good his retreat into the mountains of Arkansas.  Colonel Gower 
then proceeded to Forsyth with his command.  While the regiment was in camp there. 
Colonel Gower went to St. Louis to receive a supply of carbines which had been received 
there for the use of the First Iowa Cavalry.  During his absence the main part of the 
command marched to Lake Springs, near Rolla, Mo., where they arrived March 31st, going 
into camp and establishing regimental headquarters at that place.  To this camp Colonel 
Gower returned, bringing with him 250 Colt's revolvers, 600 Sharp's breech-loading 
carbines, and 400 cavalry sabers, thus giving the regiment a complete set of arms, for the 
first time in its history.  The regiment was also supplied at this time with a remount of fresh 
horses, and was thus splendidly equipped for the active work of the next campaign, which 
was about to begin.
	On the 20th of April, 1863, about 600 men and officers of the regiment, under 
command of Major Caldwell, joined the expedition under General Vandever, against the 
rebel forces under Marmaduke, then advancing against Cape Girardeau, Mo. General 
Vandever did not succeed in intercepting Marmaduke's force, which attacked the troops 
under General McNiel at Cape Girardeau and, having been repulsed, fell back towards 
Jackson.  General Vandever, moving rapidly, came in close proximity to a portion of the 
rebel forces on their retreat, and the First Iowa Cavalry, which led the advance, came up 
with them.  In the skirmish which ensued the regiment had five men wounded.  The pursuit 
was continued to Chalk Bluff. Where the enemy succeeded in crossing the St. Francis 
River and rejoining the main body of Marmaduke's command.  The regiment returned to 
Lake Springs May 15th, having been gone 26 days, marching over 500 miles and suffering 
greatly on account of insufficient rations.
	The regiment now proceeded to Pilot Knob, with orders to report to General J. W. 
Davidson, and was assigned to the Second Brigade of the cavalry division commanded by 
that officer, then encamped at Arcadia.  Here everything that could possibly be dispensed 
with, in the way of camp equipage, was stored, and the troops, unincumbered with 
anything that would impede rapid movement, were put in readiness for the prosecution of 
an active and vigorous campaign.  On July 1st the division marched from Arcadia to 
Fredericktown, thence to Bloomfield, where it arrived on the 12th and remained eight days.  
The town was fortified, a garrison left to defend it, and a hospital established in which all 
the sick and disabled men of the division were left in charge of Assistant Surgeon C. H. 
Lothrop, of the First Iowa Cavalry.  On the 20th, the division resumed its march over 
difficult roads, crossed the St. Francis River at Chalk Bluff and continued its march 
southward.  Captain J. D. Jenks and Lieutenant Hursh, with 50 men of the First Iowa 
Cavalry, were sent in advance with dispatches to General Steele, at Helena, Ark., which 
difficult and dangerous duty was gallantly performed.  The command reached Clarendon, 
on White River, on the 9th of August, and there joined the army under command of General 
Steele.  The movement of the combined Union forces against Little Rock now began.
	On August 13th, Captains McQueen and Jones, with the 170 picked men of the First 
Iowa Cavalry, were embarked on a gunboat and barges, with orders to proceed down 
White River, effect a landing on the west side and made a reconnaissance, in order to find 
where the main body of the enemy was encamped.  A landing was effected at Aberdeen, in 
presence of a rebel picket post.  Leaving the gunboat at anchor in White River, for a cover 
in case of retreat, the detachment dashed through the country to the westward, commenced 
to drive the rebel pickets within half a mile of the place of landing, and moved up the river, 
behind the line of rebel pickets stationed along the river, to DeVall's Bluff, a distance  of 
55 miles, then moved west through Brownsville, eluding the superior forces of the enemy 
by shifting positions during the night, until ascertaining beyond a doubt that the rebel 
encampment was on Bayou Metoe.  The detachment then countermarched, keeping under 
cover of the timber as much as possible, until a superior force was discovered marching on 
the prairie which had to be crossed.  The detachment charged from the timber, taking the 
enemy unprepared; a running fight fir five miles ensued, the rebels making a rapid retreat.  
The detachment that re-embarked and arrived at Clarendon the evening of the 15th.  The 
whole army crossed White River on the 18th, and the cavalry division arriced at 
Brownsville on the 25th, when a brisk engagement ensued, in which the First Iowa Cavalry 
had the advance, driving the enemy into their encampment beyond Bayou Metoe.  In the 
engagement which followed on the 27th, the First Iowa, under command of Colonel 
/Anderson, charged the rebels, driving them across Bayou Metoe, and following them to 
the end of the bridge in face of a heavy fire of artillery and musketry from the enemy 
posted on the other side, with the hope of saving the bridge,--the only means of crossing 
the deep and sluggish bayou,-- but were unable to do so, as the rebels had prepared 
combustible material, which was lighted quickly and the bridge destroyed.  In this 
engagement the regiment had 37 men killed and wounded, the heaviest loss they had thus 
far sustained in any single encounter with the enemy.  The officers and men behaved with 
the greatest gallantry.  Colonel Anderson had his horse shot under him while leading his 
men in the charge.
	The Cavalry division now moved southward; a pontoon bridge was laid across the 
Arkansas River during the night of September 9th, and, on the morning of September 10th, 
the cavalry led the way across the bridge and brought on the engagement which resulted in 
the capture of Little Rock about sunset of that day.  After crossing the river, the first Iowa 
was actively engaged throughout the day, and recaptured two howitzers which had been 
taken by the enemy during the early part of the engagement.  The regiment now went into 
camp near Little Rock, where it remained during the following winter in comparative quite,  
Scouting parties and guards to forage trains had occasional skirmishes with the enemy, in 
which the casualties were not heavy, but the there was so much sickness and many died 
from malarious diseases, while many other were months in a state of doubtful 
convalescence.  Among the latter was Captain A. G. McQueen, who, on account of a 
severe attack of typhoid fever, was for months prevented from participating in the 
operation of the regiment, and who twice tendered his resignation in order to give his 
position to some one who was in physical condition to discharge the duties of the office; 
but, as a just recognition of his value as an officer, his resignation was not accepted, and an 
order was issued detailing him as Senior Inspector General of Cavalry for the Military 
Division west of the Mississippi, and assigning him to duty at New Orleans, La., until his 
health should have been sufficiently recovered to enable him to rejoin his regiment and 
resume active duty in the field.  The regiment was thus able to retain the services of one of 
its most capable and efficient officers, who subsequently won well deserved promotion and 
became its Commander.
	On the 8th of December, Captain Jenks, with a detachment of 250 men of the 
regiment, made an attack on a rebel encampment and captured 39 men and a considerable 
amount of camp equipage.  Colonel Gower having resigned, Lieutenant Colonel Anderson 
was promoted to Colonel, Major Caldwell to to Lieutenant Colonel and Captain McQueen 
to Major.
	During the early part of 1864, a sufficient number re-enlisted to entitle the regiment 
to assume the title of a veteran organization.  According to the terms of their re-
enlistments, the men were entitled to a thirty days' furlough in the State of Iowa, but the 
conditions then existing imperatively demanded their  presence in the field, and it was 
more than a month later when those who survived were, permitted to enjoy the brief visit to 
their homes.  The regiment started on the march to Camden on the 22d of March, 1864.  
Owing to the great scarcity of forage, many horses had died during the winter, and about 
400 men were without mounts and compelled to march on foot.  The regiment was much of 
the time in advance of the army, and, on March 30th, had a brisk engagement with the 
enemy, and again on April 2d, when it engaged in a running fight for five miles, driving 
the enemy before it and again, On April 4th, when the enemy made a stubborn resistance, 
inflicting a loss upon the regiment of 39 men, killed and wounded.  The regiment was the 
first to enter the rebel works at Prairie d'Ane.  On April 15th the mounted men were again 
ordered to the front and skirmished with the enemy for six hours, when, by order of 
General Rice, the dismounted men were brought to the front and deployed as skirmishers, 
and the enemy was driven back through the city of Camden.  It will thus be seen that, upon 
this important expedition, the First Iowa Cavalry had done its full share of the fighting and 
had fully sustained its reputation for bravery and efficiency.  The object of the expeditions 
having been accomplished, the veterans of the regiment, 520 in number, were ordered to 
proceed to the State of Iowa on furlough.  The following extract from the order of the 
division commander will serve to show the high estimation in which the regiment and its 
gallant Lieutenant Colonel was held:
	"V.  The Brigadier General commanding the division has been highly gratified with 
the cheerfulness and alacrity shown by the regiment under the particular hardships of the 
campaign, as well as it handsomely sustaining the reputation for bravery which belong to 
Iowa Troops.
VI.	To Lieutenant Colonel Caldwell, the division commander is under obligations 
for the skill and bravery he has shown as command of the Third Brigade, and 
especially for his untiring energy and hearty, cordial, and effectual co-
operation in the plans of the campaign. 
By order Brigadier General E. A. Carr. 
		C. H. Dyer, A. A. G."
	The veterans, having sold their horses to the Government, started from Camden on 
foot, on the 24th of April, on their way to Little Rock, from which point they were to be 
furnished with transportation to Davenport, Iowa.  On the march to that place, however, 
they twice encountered the enemy,--first at Mono River, near Mark's Mills, on April 24th, 
and last in the battle at Jenkins' Ferry, on Saline River, on April 30, arriving at Little Rock 
on the 2d day of May, 1864.  There the non-veterans (those who had not re-enlisted) 
remained, while the veterans (those who had re-enlisted) were given a thirty days' furlough 
and departed for their home in Iowa.  Here let it be said that, while the distinctive title of 
"Veterans" was bestowed upon the men who were willing to continue in the service of 
their country until the close of the war, and was as honorable distinction well deserved by 
them, their comrades who had faithfully complied with the terms of their enlistment, and 
who preferred to return to their homes when their three years' terms of service should 
expire, were not subjecting themselves to criticism by declining to re-enlist.  They too, 
were veterans, in fact if not in name and, having been true to the obligations they had 
voluntarily assumed, could return to their homes and receive the full meed of thanks and 
honor which was freely accorded them by their State and Nation.
	The veterans arrived at Davenport on May 17th, where they received a royal 
welcome.  They were given furloughs for thirty days, and, at the expiration of that time, re-
assembled at Davenport, and were soon on their way south to rejoin their comrades at 
Little Rock; but upon their arrival at Cairo, Ill., were ordered to return to St. Louis, where 
they were supplied with horses and camp equipage and were sent into North Missouri, 
where they were again divided into detachments and stationed at different points, along the 
railroad, for the purpose of guarding the road against incursion of rebel band's who were 
constantly making raids to capture trains and both army supplies and other freight passing 
over the road.  While upon this duty the veterans lost seven men killed and several 
wounded.  It was a repetition of their past experience on Missouri, and they found the 
conditions that existed during the summer of 1861 but little changed.  In their ignorance 
and desperation the rebels refused to recognize the hopelssness of their cause and were 
most bitter and unrelenting in their hatred and cruelty toward Union citizens and their 
families, and it was their custom to give no quarter to the Unions soldiers who fell into 
their hands.
	On the 1st of October, 1864, the veterans were relieved by other troops, and, 
marching to Jefferson City, were there assigned to General Sanborn's Brigade, and at once 
moved against, their old enemy, General Sterling Price, who, with his rebel army, had 
again invaded Missouri.  After the battle of Boonville, in which the veterans at the First 
Iowa Cavalry participated, they were retained on duty at Major General Rosecrans' 
headquarters, as escort, scouts and couriers, until the end of the campaign.  They then 
returned with General Rosecrans' to St. Louis, remaining there for a few wells and 
receiving a complete outfit of everything necessary for another extended campaign.  They 
were then conveyed to Cairo, by rail, and thence, by steamer, to Little Rock, arriving there 
on the 29th of December, 1864, and rejoining the non-veteran portion of the regiment, from 
which they had been so long separated.  The non-veterans had, in the meantime, been 
under the command of Major J. D. Jenks, and had performed active and efficient service in 
the country surrounding Little Rock; had been engaged in numerous skirmishes, and had 
received the commendation of the General commanding for their faithful performance of 
duty.  Their term of service having expired, the non-veterans were mustered out of the 
service at Little Rock and returned to Iowa, while the recruits were assigned to the 
companies of the veteran organization.
	The beginning of the year 1865 found the veteran regiment united, well mounted and 
equipped, ready and willing to perform its full share in crushing out the great Rebellion, 
which was everywhere on the wane, and which it was now evident could not continue 
throughout the year.  The very desperation of their cause, however, seemed to inspire the 
enemy with a fixed purpose to fight to the last, and fight they did until their resources were 
entirely exhausted.  
	Lieutenant Colonel McQueen was no in command of the regiment.  On January 14, 
1865, a detachment of the First Iowa, together with detachments from other regiments of 
the division, all under the command of Major James D. Jenks, of the first Iowa, was 
ordered to proceed to Dardanelle, about  100 miles up the Arkansas River.  The troops 
were conveyed by boats.  After effecting a landing, Major Jenks at once led his command 
against a force of the enemy 1,600 strong, and, after a brisk engagement, defeated them.  
For his successful management of the expedition Major Jenks was given the brevet rank of 
Lieutenant Colonel.  On January 22d the regiment, together with other troops, moved 
against a rebel force encamped near Camden, and, after a brief engagement, defeated them, 
capturing a number of their men and horses.  Lieutenant C. W. W. Dow was particularly 
commended for his gallantry and efficiency in leading the advance guard on this 
expedition.  The names of the killed and wounded in these and subsequent engagements 
will all be found noted in the subjoined Roster.
	On February 12, 1865, the regiment received orders to proceed to Memphis, Tenn., 
and conveyed by transports, reached that city on the 20th, remaining there until March 4th, 
when it became part of a cavalry force which went in pursuit of the rebel General Forrest.  
During this expedition Lieutenant Colonel McQueen, with a detachment of the First Iowa, 
met and defeated a portion of Forrest's command on the Tallahatchie River.  The regiment 
returned to Memphis on February 22d.  it then moved to Collierville, Tenn., and, from its 
camp at that place, sent out detachments in pursuit of the roving hands of the enemy who 
still infested the country, killing many and finally dispersing them.
	The rebellion was now practically suppressed, and it seemed that the Government 
might soon be able to dispense with the service of the regiment, and the men were looking 
forward with fond anticipation for the order for their discharge.  This hope was rudely 
dispelled, however, when orders were received for the First Iowa, Fifth, and Twelfth 
Illinois, Second Wisconsin and Seventh Indiana Cavalry Regiments to embark on 
transports, proceed to Alexandria, La., and there report to Major General G. A. Custer for 
further orders.  The command arrived at Alexandria June 22d, 1865, and on the following 
day General Custer issued an order, the strict enforcement of which brought great hardship 
and humiliation upon the splendid regiments composing his command.    The full details of 
the terrible experience through which the regiment passed while under command of this 
Martinet of the Regular Army are given, in the report of Lieutenant Colonel A. G. 
McQueen to the Adjutant General of Iowa, including copies of official orders, affidavits 
and correspondence upon the subject, in which the honor of the regiment is most 
completely vindicated.
	General Custer was a brave and dashing cavalry officer who had won distinction in 
the eastern army for his efficient services in many battles, but he had been trained in a 
severe school of discipline and was utterly unfit for the command of volunteers, under the 
conditions that existed at the close of hostilities.  He lacked the essential qualifications-
kindness of hear, tact, and good judgment of human nature—which would have enabled 
him to enforce a proper degree of discipline, and, at the same time, have secured the 
respect and attachment of the cordial hatred of the men under his command.  His reckless 
bravery later cost him his life, and that of every an under his command, when he made an 
attack with an inferior force upon an overwhelming force of Indians, under the command 
of the famous chief, "Sitting Bull," on the northwestern frontier.  It is altogether to the 
credit of men and officers of the First Iowa Cavalry that they were able to submit to the 
cruel indignities to which they were subjected while under the command of General 
Custer, instead of being driven to open insubordination and revolt.  Every true soldier 
understands the necessity for discipline in an army, and yields willing obedience, even 
when the discipline is more severe than necessary, and enforced in the most unpleasant 
manner by a tyrannical officer.  It was a new and hard experience for these brave men, and 
the official records show that they submitted to it rather than have the history of their 
service tarnished by a single act of insubordination.
	From the 22d day of June to the 8th of August the regiment remained at Alexandria, 
when it started on the march to Texas.  It was halted at various points in that State until 
November 4th, on which date it arrived at Austin, the Capital of the State, where the 
headquarters of the regiment were maintained during the remainder of its service.  
Detachments were stationed for a few weeks at a time at different county seats, from the 
borders of the Indian Nation to the southern portion of the State, for the purpose of 
preserving order and assisting the civil authorities in the discharge of their functions, and 
the enforcement of the laws in the trial of offenders by the courts, which could only be 
done by the presence of soldiers.  The turbulent character of a large part of the population, 
and the demoralization resulting from a long continued war, rendered the presence of 
soldiers necessary for the protection of the loves and property of the better class of citizens 
who were endeavoring to secure the restoration of the functions of civil government.  The 
First Iowa Cavalry contributed its best efforts to accomplish this desirable result.
	On the 15th day of February, 1866, the regiment was mustered out of the service of 
the United States at Austin, Texas, and, four days later, started for Davenport, Iowa, where 
it arrived on the 13th of March.  On the 16th day of March, the officers and men received 
final payment, the regiment was disbanded and all returned to their respective homes, to 
resume the peaceful avocations they had abandoned when they responded to the call of 
their country.  Lieutenant Colonel McQueen, who was in command of the regiment at the 
time it was mustered out, says, in closing its official history:
	"Lieutenant Henry L. Morrill, Regimental Adjutant, is particularly deserving of 
honorable mention for his long and efficient services as an officer and soldier, and 
especially for the valuable aid rendered in superintending the making out of the final 
muster out papers of the regiment." The final paragraph in the history has deeply impressed 
the compiler of this sketch.  It reads as follows:
	"On account of not having the regimental records at hand many deeds of individual 
heroism, which might with propriety be mentioned, are omitted in this history.  The 
number and names of those belonging to the regiment, who died and were killed in battle, 
have already been reported to your office, and I will trust to the pen of the future historian 
to speak, so their immolation will not be forgotten."
	The compiler deeply regrets his inability to fulfill the trust thus imposed.  While he 
had mch of the experience which pertained to the common lot of the soldier who served 
from the commencement to the close of that great war, the infantry organization to which 
he belonged was never in close proximity to the First Iowa Cavalry, and he has no personal 
knowledge of the deeds of individual heroism of its members; but, if he had such 
knowledge, or had been able to obtain it from others, the limitations under which this 
sketch has been compiled would preclude the reference to such cases, beyond the very 
limited number found in the official reports.  The brief paragraphs opposite the names 
contained in the subjoined Roster must therefore suffice.  The official records from which 
the Roster is compiled give only a brief summary of the facts connected with the service of 
each member of the regiment, but they are the only source of information to which the 
compiler has had access.  While some errors and omissions will no doubt be found, it is 
believed that, in the main, the records have been correctly kept, and that this compilation 
will preserve to posterity the record of these brave men of Iowa, who, nearly half a century 
ago, went forth to fight the battles of their country.  In conclusion, it may be justly claimed 
for the First Iowa Cavalry—as an organization—that it made a record second to none in the 
long list of splendid Iowa regiments which was glory and honor for State and Nation in one 
of the greatest wars in history.
