HISTORICAL SKETCH
FIRST REGIMENT IOWA VOLUNTEER CAVALRY
The official records in the office of the Adjutant General of the State of Iowa show the
original rosters of the twelve companies which composed the First Regiment of Cavalry, at the
date of their muster into the service of the United States, together with the additional enlistments
in each company, which followed soon after the completion of the 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—rank and file—at muster in was 1,035,
and this number was soon increased, by additional enlistments, to 1,245.1 The regiment 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 Ritz 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.
1 Report of Adjutant General of Iowa, 1863, Vol. 2, pages 335-392, inclusive.
The officers and men of the regiment preferred to select and own 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 the 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 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 year 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.
2
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 factional 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, in its endeavors to protect the loyal citizens, who were
subjected to pillage and murder at the hands of lawless bands, 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 soldiers 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 tops, 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.
3
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 Sedalia, Mo., where he arrived, with the Third Battalion,
on March 9th. From that date the entire regiment was engaged in active operations, 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, 3
from which the following extracts are taken:
3 War of the Rebellion Official Records Series 1, Vol. 8, pages 39-40, inclusive.
. . . 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 Backwater 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 or two regiments of Infantry and three companies of Cavalry, numbering in all
1300 men.... About 500 horses and mules, 73 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 comprising 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, 1,200 stand of arms, nearly 100 wagons, and a
large quantity of supplies. The march alone would do
credit to old soldiers, and it gives me
4
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:
FAYETTE, 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 companies of the Fifth Iowa Infantry
arrived from Boonville and, leaving them to guard our camp here, the command was on the
march a18 o'clock. We arrived near the location of their camp, which was situated on or near the
headwaters 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 others 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 bands, and made it a
difficult matter for recruits to get through to the 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 resolute 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 fully 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.
5
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 matters of detail, number engaged, etc.

6 Report of Adjutant General of Iowa, 1963, Vol. 2, pages 845, 846, 847.
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 pinched 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, 6 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 16th, 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.
6
The headquarters 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 officers 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 Warrensburg belonging to
other regiments; the entire force being under command of Major Gower. In the meantime the
rebel force, under Quantrill, 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 10 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.
7 Report of Adjutant General of Iowa, 1868, Vol. 2, page 849.
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 timber 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, Clinton 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 reports 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 L, 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 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 worthy officers
Subsequent pursuit 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. 8
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
7
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 the 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 the 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
McClellan, 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
1n pursuit of the enemy,—a march made memorable to all the troops of the brigade and division
on account of its length, its circuitous 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 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 made 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 to point in pursuit of the
enemy, and officers and men were in the saddle 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.
* It will be noted that the names of the wounded men are not given in this report, and that often
the names of neither killed nor wounded are given in other reports of engagements in which the
regiment took part. The reader is therefore referred to the subjoined Roster, in which the names
of all the killed and wounded appear.
On the 3d day of Decembers 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 battlefield 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
8
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 into 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 way of
Fayetteville, Huntsville and Carrollton to Forsyth, on White River, Mo. Major Daniel Anderson,
with about 400 of the regiment, left the division at Fayetteville on January 4th 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 10th, 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 manners, 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
Cower, 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
9
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 Cower returned, bringing with him 250 Colt's revolvers, 600 Sharp's breechloading
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's
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, unencumbered 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 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 for five miles ensued, the rebels
10
making a rapid retreat. The detachment then re-embarked and arrived at Clarendon the evening
of the 15th. The whole army crossed White River on the 18th, and the cavalry division arrived at
Brownsville on the 26th, where 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 quiet. Scouting parties and guards to forage
trains had occasional skirmishes with the enemy, in which the casualties were not heavy, but
there was much sickness and many died from malarious diseases, while many others 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 operations of the regiment, and is 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 regiments
made an attack on a rebel encampment and captured 39 men and a considerable amount of camp
equipage. Colonel Goner having resigned, Lieutenant Colonel Anderson was promoted to
Colonel, Major Caldwell 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-enlistment, 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
11
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 expedition 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 this campaign,
as well as its handsomely sustaining the reputation for bravery which belongs to Iowa troops.
VI. To Lieutenant Colonel Caldwell, the division commander is under obligations for the
skill and bravery he has shown as commander of the Third Brigade, and especially for his
untiring energy and hearty, cordial, and effectual cooperation 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 30th, 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 homes 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 an
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
term of service should expire, were not subjecting themselves to criticism by declining to reenlist.
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, III., 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 incursions of rebel bands, 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 in
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 hopelessness 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 Union 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
12
old enemy, General Sterling Price, who, with his rebel army, had again. invaded Missouri. After
the battle of Boonville, in which the veterans of 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 weeks 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 east and fight they did until their resources were entirely exhausted.
Lieutenant Colonel McQueen was now in command of the regiment. On January 1.4, 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 bands 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
13
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. 9
9 Report of Adjutant General of Iowa, 1867, Vol. 2, pages 514-538, inclusive.
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 heart, 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 instead of the
cordial hatred of the men under his command. His reckless bravery later cost him his life, and
that of every man 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 the 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 lives 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."
14
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 much
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 conclude
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 won glory and honor for State and Nation in one
of the greatest wars in history.
