HISTORICAL SKETCH
SECOND REGIMENT IOWA VOLUNTEER CAVALRY
The Second Regiment of Iowa Cavalry was organized under the proclamation of President
Lincoln, dated July 23, 1861. The twelve companies composing the regiment were ordered into
quarters by Governor Kirkwood, between the dates July 20 and Sept. 4, 1861. Davenport was the
designated rendezvous, and there the different companies were mustered into the service of the
United States by Captain Alexander Chambers, United States Army, on dates ranging from
August 30 to September 28, 1861. The total number of enlisted men and officers of the regiment
at the date of muster in of the last company was 1,001, but this number was considerably
increased by additional enlistments before the regiment left the State. l
The regiment was fortunate in having for its first commander a graduate of West Point, who,
at the time he received his commission from Governor Kirkwood, was a Major in the Third
Regiment of United States Cavalry, with a record of fifteen years of honorable service in the
Regular Army. 2 While he was a strict disciplinarian, he was also just and fair in the enforcement
of discipline and in his treatment of the officers and men under his command, and thus secured
their confidence and respect. He was a superior military instructor, and his regiment rapidly
acquired the rudiments of a military education so necessary for the work which was before them,
and the practical experience which soon followed—under the command of this thoroughly
trained officer—was of more value than a longer period of drill and instruction in camp would
have been. The other field officers were very capable men and soon demonstrated their fitness
for the discharge of their respective duties. They were without military training and experience,
but possessed of superior intelligence, and soon became proficient in the knowledge of tactics
and the handling of men in action. This was particularly true of Lieutenant Colonel Edward
Hatch, who was possessed of the true military spirit in such large degree that he was from the
first conspicuous for his superior ability, and was held in the highest esteem by Colonel Elliott
and by all the officers and men of the regiment.
1 Report of Adjutant General of Iowa, 186S, Vol. 2, Original Roster, pages 393 to 450 inclusive.
2 Colonel Washington L. Elliott, subsequently promoted to Brigadier General and Brevet Major
General U. S. Volunteers.
On the 7th of December, 1861, the regiment left Davenport and was conveyed by transports
to St. Louis, where it went into quarters at Benton Barracks. During the time it remained there
Colonel Elliott exerted himself to the utmost in imparting such instruction as would secure for
the regiment as much knowledge of the theory and art of war as it was possible to obtain before
it would be called upon to take the field. While at Benton Barracks the regiment suffered greatly
from sickness and there were a great many deaths. There was probably no period in its
subsequent history when disease made such sad havoc in its ranks in so short a time. The men
had not yet become used to the great change in conditions of living; had not yet learned how to
properly prepare their food; and, above all, the sanitary conditions of the barracks were bad, the
ventilation was poor and their quarters were overcrowded. It was therefore a welcome change
when the order came for the regiment to take the field.
2
On the 17th of February, 1862, the regiment, with its horses and camp equipage, embarked
on transports and was conveyed to Bird's Point, Mo. Shortly after its arrival there, Major Love,
with four companies of the regiment, started in pursuit of a band of rebels supposed to be
encamped near Charleston, Mo., but did not succeed in finding them. On February 28th the
remainder of the regiment, under command of Colonel Elliott, proceeded to Charleston where it
was joined by the detachment under Major Love and the entire command then went in pursuit of
the rebel forces under Colonel Jeff Thompson, but did not succeed in overtaking them, they
having separated into small parties and dispersed upon the approach of Colonel Elliott's
command The capture of a few rebels was the total result of this first short expedition into the
enemy's territory, but, as the weather and roads were bad and Colonel Elliott had yet to learn the
methods adopted by the elusive enemy, (who had the advantage of a thorough knowledge of the
country,) this initial movement served to enlighten the officers and men and gave them an
experience by which they were benefited in their next expedition, which was productive of
excellent results. The compiler here avails himself of the information contained in the official
record and report of the subsequent operations of the regiment in the campaign which followed:
.. . On February 27th began our active pursuit of Jeff Thompson's army towards New Madrid,
driving in his scouts and bodies of cavalry, over a country almost impassable, fording,
sometimes swimming, swamps scarcely penetrable, in snow and rain, capturing prisoners and
horses. This duty occupied the regiment until March 12th, when we rejoined Pope's army at New
Madrid in time to participate in the attack and bombardment of that place; after it was reduced,
from March 12th to April 6th, occupied continually guarding teams, scouting and picket duty.
April 7th crossed the Mississippi, our advance under Lieutenant Gustavus Schnitger, being the
first troops in Island No. 10, capturing 200 prisoners. We pursued the retreating enemy toward
Tiptonville. We were then ordered back to Camp New Madrid, being absent five days.
On the 12th of April, 1862, the regiment, with the Army of the Mississippi commanded by
General Pope, embarked on transports at New Madrid and moved down the river toward Fort
Pillow, but, by order of General Halleck, the objective point of the expedition was changed, and
the fleet of transports proceeded to the mouth of the Tennessee and thence up that river to
Hamburg where they landed and the troops disembarked. Here the regiment was assigned to the
Second Brigade, Cavalry Division, Army of the Mississippi, and with that organization, at once
entered upon an active and aggressive campaign. Colonel Elliott was placed in command of the
brigade, and Lieutenant Colonel Hatch was left in command of the regiment. The following
extracts are made from the official reports of Lieutenant Colonel Hatch, 4 and embrace the
principal operations of the regiment to the close of the month of August, 1862.
.. . IV. .April 29th, we attacked and burned the enemy's camp (97 wall tents) at Monterey.
Miss., thoroughly routing them, lost one man killed and three wounded. We took eleven
prisoners.

4 Report of Adjutant General of Iowa, 1863, Vol. 2, pages 851 to 856, inclusive.
V. May 3d, received at nine o clock in the morning an order from Colonel Elliott
commanding the Second Brigade, Cavalry Division, to proceed with the entire regiment
immediately to the Memphis and Charleston Railroad, between Burnsville and Glendale and
there to destroy a trestle work and otherwise to render useless, for the time being, the railroad at
that point.
3
Without quoting the details of the movements of the regiment which led up to the perfect and
complete execution of this order and the capture of several prisoners, besides a number of mules
and wagons, without any casualties to his command, suffice it to say that Lieutenant Colonel
Hatch returned with his regiment to its Camp a18 o'clock in the evening of the day he received
the order. The promptness and skill with which the order was executed served to increase the
confidence of the regiment in its commander; the officers and men, having faith in his good
judgment and bravery, were ready to follow him in any dangerous undertaking and to yield
implicit obedience to his orders. That this confidence was fully justified was demonstrated only a
few days later, as the following extracts from his official report will show:
VI May 8th—Skirmish with the enemy near Farmington, lost two men killed and six
wounded. Lieutenant Washburn cut his way through the enemy after being captured, losing his
horse by many balls.
VII. May 9th—Complying with an order of Colonel Elliott, commanding Second Brigade,
Cavalry Division, to report with Second Regiment Iowa Cavalry to General Granger, I did so.
Receiving instructions from General Pope to report to General commanding the advance at
Farmington, reported at twelve o'clock to General Palmer, who ordered me to throw out two
companies on left of the main Farmington road, and hold the balance of the regiment in reserve
under the hill, where the crossing of the swamp approaches Farmington. Our infantry who had
held the field above us being driven to the brow of the hill, General Paine ordered the regiment
to charge the enemy's batteries. Moving column to top of hill, I ordered Major Coon, with
companies H, G, C and part of A, of the Second Battalion, and Major Love's Third Battalion, to
charge the battery on our left in echelons of squadrons. Deploying the columns to the right and
left, when we had passed our infantry lines, as we attacked the skirmishers and supports of the
enemy, driving them in and killed and. wounded some. The battery on our left near the
Farmington road, on account of the ground being impracticable, the battery and supports
protected by a fence; the fire from this was very severe, and though our men could not reach the
guns, the enemy's gunners, evidently alarmed at the charge, ceased working their guns. Major
Coon's Battalion, led by him, gallantly attacked the battery near the building known as the cotton
mill (the center battery). Lieutenant Reily, commanding Company F, of Third Battalion, attacked
and carried two guns in battery on our extreme right. The center battery was fairly carried, the
gunners driven from their guns, the enemy limbering up his guns without taking them off the
field. Finding our horses badly blown, from a long charge over rough ground, and the infantry of
the enemy in great force, I, under a heavy fire, ordered all Companies on my right to retreat to
the right and rear, forming on the swamp road, and those on my left to join the regiment in this
road. I ordered Major Hepburn to move to the rear, retaining Major Coon with two companies to
pick up the Wounded and scattered, My orders were carried out better than I could have
expected, My Chief Bugler's bugle was rendered useless in the charge: four of my orderlies
having had their horses killed, and two being shot out of the saddle when transmitting orders,
The conduct of officers and men was in every way commendable. Captains Lundy, Egbert, and
Lieutenant Owen, wounded near the enemy's guns, Lieutenants Horton, Moore and Schnitger all
had horses killed under them. Captain D. J. Crocker and Lieutenant Moore of Company K,
Captain McConnell and Lieutenant Foster of Company M, Captain Kendrick of Company E,
Captain Eaton and Lieutenant Belden of Company L, all of the First Battalion, led in the finest
manner by Major Hepburn rode through the hottest fire and were rallied by Major Hepburn on
the right when retiring in fine style, and formed in good order in the rear of the swamp to await
Orders. Major Coon, Captain H. Egbert, Captain William Lundy, Lieutenant Owen and
Lieutenant Horton of the L Battalion, led the charge on the right in the finest manner, riding
boldly in advance of their commands, and in advance of the
entire regiment. The daring of
4
Lieutenant Queal, commanding Company B, was conspicuous, cheering his men to the very
muzzles of the enemy's guns. Captain Bishop of Company I, and Captain Graves of Company D,
obeyed my orders promptly under heavy fire. Lieutenant Schnitger, Acting Regimental Adjutant,
and Lieutenant Metcalf, Battalion Adjutant, did their duties to my entire satisfaction. Before and
at time of charge, Captain Freeman and Lieutenant Eystra, with detachments of Companies A, G
and H, as skirmishers dismounted, did excellent service in the swamps on our left, holding the
enemy's skirmishers in check. There were about 400 men in the charge. Our loss will scarcely
exceed fifty killed and wounded, fifty horses killed and fifty rendered unserviceable from
wounds.
5 While only the names of those mentioned in the official reports are contained in this
historical sketch, the casualties are all noted in the subjoined roster, opposite the name of each
soldier who was killed wounded or missing in action, or who died of wounds, disease or other
cause, or was discharged, resigned or transferred to another command. Everything found in the
official records relative to the record of the soldier who at any time belonged to the regiment has
been faithfully transcribed, except in the comparatively few cases in which it was found possible
to correct errors and omissions by reference to the War Department in Washington, and from
other sources known to be reliable. The mistakes that may be found in the Roster must therefore
be attributed to the Official Records of the Adjutant General of the State of Iowa.
6 Colonel Phillip H. Sheridan, who afterwards won fame and distinction. He was then
Colonel of the Second Michigan Cavalry.
The report of Lieutenant Colonel Hatch (from which the preceding quotations were made)
describes with great particularity of detail the operations of the regiment during the remainder of
the campaign. Limitation of space will preclude further extended quotations from the report
covering this period of the service of the regiment. The compiler will, however, endeavor to
cover in a condensed form the most important events (as shown by the report) which occurred,
from the day following the charge at Farmington up to and including August 27, 1862, upon
which date the summer campaign may be said to have ended and the fall campaign begun.
On May 13th a portion of the regiment had a skirmish near Farmington, driving the enemy's
skirmishers within their lines. On May 26th, detachments from the Second Iowa and Second
Michigan Cavalry, under command of Lieutenant Colonel Hatch, left camp near Farmington in
the evening, under orders to locate and attack a force of the enemy supposed to be encamped
near Burnsville, or Jacinto, Miss., encountered the enemy's pickets near the latter place in
considerable force but the main body had made good their retreat, and, in obedience to his
orders, Lieutenant Colonel Hatch abandoned the pursuit and returned to camp the next morning,
having marched thirty-five miles during the night, a part of the way through swamps and over
difficult roads. On the 28th, the Second Iowa and Second Michigan Cavalry, under command of
Colonel Elliott, (the Second Iowa under command of Lieutenant Colonel Hatch,) left camp at
Farmington and marched rapidly by a circuitous route, for the purpose of deceiving the enemy as
to the object of the expedition, and, on the morning of May 30th, appeared before the town of
Booneville, the force of the enemy which had been left to guard the town falling back before him
with but slight resistance. The capture of Booneville was followed by very important results, as
the following statement of Lieutenant Colonel Hatch v ill show: "I found standing on the track an
engine disabled, 26 cars loaded with 10,000 stand of arms, 1,000 small and side arms, 800,000
rounds of ball cartridge, 100,000 rounds of fixed ammunition for six and eight pound guns, three
mounted field pieces, one car of horse equipments and team harness, haversacks, cross belts,
cartridge boxes, canteens and knapsacks for 10,000 men;
and a large amount of stores. The
5
railroad depot was filled with commissary stores, 3,000 stand of arms, shells of a large size,
medical stores and 300 kegs and barrels of powder marked 'Alabama Powder Company.' "
Upon entering the town the telegraph wire was cut, thus preventing speedy communication to
the enemy and the arrival of a sufficient force to save the immense quantity of supplies which
had fallen into the hands of the regiment. The train and buildings were at once set on fire and
everything destroyed, thus inflicting great damage to the rebel army which had just evacuated its
stronghold at Corinth and was in full retreat southward. Shortly after this brilliant exploit, in
recognition of his valuable service as a brigade commander, Colonel Elliott was promoted to the
rank of Brigadier General and assigned to the position of Chief of Staff to Major General
Rosecrans, and Lieutenant Colonel Hatch was promoted to Colonel of the regiment. The only
casualties in the intent during the expedition to and capture of Booneville were one man killed,
two wounded, and four captured by the enemy while scouting. On May 30th, Captain Kendrick,
while on a scout with a detachment of the regiment, had an encounter with the enemy, in which
he lost one man killed and two wounded, and captured fifty prisoners.
On the 4th of June the regiment and brigade, while in pursuit of the retreating rebel army,
had a brisk engagement with the rear guard of the enemy, in which the regiment lost two men
killed, eight wounded and two Missing. 5 A prisoner, captured in this engagement, reported the
loss of the enemy to have been thirty men, killed and wounded. During the greater part of the
month of June the regiment was almost constantly engaged in watching the movements of the
enemy in advance of the army, had several skirmishes and captured a number of prisoners. On
June 24th it moved forward, taking the extreme advance of the army, the Second Iowa being
encamped nearest the enemy, one-half mile in advance of the brigade.
On the morning of July 1, 1862, the enemy was discovered in strong force approaching the
camp of the Second Iowa, whose pickets reported the number of rebels in sight as greatly
superior to the combined strength of the regiment and that of the Second Michigan, and those
two regiments, constituting as they did the outpost of the Union army, would have been justified
in retreating until they could have been within supporting distance of the infantry. But the officer
6 who had succeeded General Elliott in command of this small cavalry brigade saw his
opportunity for a strategic movement that would enable him to overcome the superior force to
which he was opposed. The entire strength of his command was far less than the maximum
number of a single regiment of cavalry, (less than 800 men,) but, from this small force he boldly
detached four companies, two from each regiment, with orders to move rapidly and gain the rear
of the approaching force of the enemy. He then posted his remaining force in a strong position
and awaited the attack of the enemy, whose force was estimated to be not less than 4,000. The
two cavalry regiments were splendidly armed and mounted, had absolute confidence in their
leaders, and the result proved the confidence was not misplaced. Without attempting to give the
details of the fighting which ensued, suffice it to say that the attack of the rebels was met by such
a heavy fire that they fell back in disorder and were met by a charge of the detachment which
had been sent to attack them in rear, which resulted in their being driven from the field with
heavy loss. The enemy made every effort to get their killed and wounded off the field, but left 17
killed and 12 wounded, among them two officers, and, in addition, 13 men captured. The total
loss of the enemy was estimated at over 100, while that of Colonel Sheridan's Brigade was but
47 killed, wounded and missing, divided about equally between the Second Iowa and Second
Michigan Cavalry. Considering the disparity in numbers, this was one of the most notable
achievements of cavalry troops that had occurred up to that time, or, as a matter of fact, that
occurred at any time during the war. The General commanding promptly issued a highly
commendatory order from which the following extract is
taken:
6
GENERAL ORDERS No. 81.
HEADQUARTERS, ARMY OF THE MISSISSIPPI, July 2, 1862.
The General commanding announces to this army that on the 1st instant Colonel P. H.
Sheridan, Second Michigan Cavalry, with eleven companies of the Second Michigan and eleven
companies of the Second Iowa Cavalry, was attacked near Booneville by eight regiments of rebel
cavalry under Chalmers, and after an eight hours' fight defeated and drove them back, leaving
their dead and wounded on the field. The coolness, determination and fearless gallantry
displayed by Colonel Sheridan and the officers and men of his command, in this action, deserve
the thanks and admiration of the army ....
By order of General Rosecrans, United States Army.
W. L. ELLIOTT
Brigadier General and Chief of Staff
This order was promulgated to the cavalry division commanded by General Gordon Granger,
and ordered to be read at the head of each company in his command, together with an order of
his own, from the concluding part of which the following extract is taken:
.... A soldier's dearest need is his consciousness that his duties to his country have been well
and worthily performed, and next to this is the reflection that his conduct is rightfully appreciated
by his country and his superiors in command. The commanding general is happy to know that
this need of commendation was never more nobly earned or better deserved than by the soldiers
of this division, and no greener laurels have been won in this great struggle by the hardy sons of
the West than those of the Cavalry Division of the Army of the Mississippi. 8
In his dispatch to General Rosecrans—written on the field Colonel Sheridan said:
I was attacked this morning by from eight to ten regiments of cavalry, under command of
General Chalmers, and have driven them back. They attacked my advanced guard about two
miles southwest of Booneville, on the Blackland road. I immediately supported it by one
battalion of my own regiment, and then sent additional supports. I then directed Captain Alger,
with two companies of the Second Iowa and two companies of my own regiment, to charge them
in the rear—this was handsomely done—and at the same time Major Coon of the Second Iowa,
with his battalion to make a dash in front and on their left. This haltered the enemy very much
and enabled me to hold them during the whole day. About 3:30 P. M. they commenced
retreating. I regret that I am not able to follow them up. I sent for Mizner's Cavalry to Rienzi;
also for artillery support from General Asboth. They have not arrived. I havre just written to
General Asboth that I will not need infantry support. You had better be the judge. The enemy
will not again attack me today, and probably have retreated finally. My command behaved
handsomely. I regret the loss of some officers and men: I do not as yet know how many. The
enemy have been badly injured. This force came from Tupelo and Saltillo. I learn this, as well as
their strength, from prisoners taken. 9

8 War of the Rebellion Official Records, Series 1 Part 1 page 19.
9 War of the Rebellion Official Records, Series 1, Part 1, pages 17 and 19.
In his official report, written the next day, Colonel Sheridan describes in detail the different
movements of his command and those of the enemy during the engagement. He makes special
mention of the gallantry and good conduct of Colonel Hatch, Majors Coon and Hepburn and
Captains Gilbert and Queal of the Second Iowa. He also
highly commends a number of officers
7
of his own regiment, the Second Michigan, and gives equal credit to both organizations for the
brave and gallant manner in which they obeyed his orders and won a glorious victory where
defeat seemed inevitable. In his official report, Colonel Hatch, in addition to the names of
officers mentioned by Colonel Sheridan, includes those of Captain Graves and Lieutenants
Foster and Wright. The compiler has devoted a somewhat larger amount of space to this
engagement than to those which preceded it, or than he will be able to devote to most of those
which follow. He considers himself justified in doing so because of the fact that it marked an
important epoch, not only in the history of the regiment but of the war. It was the formative
period in the development of the military genius of the three officers who occupied the most
conspicuous positions and who, at the close of the great War of the Rebellion, had won the
greatest distinction,—Grant, Sherman and Sheridan, that great triumvirate of American military
chieftains, who were not inspired or actuated by the motives of self aggrandizement that
governed that other great triumvirate in the days of ancient Rome, but were animated by one
common patriotic purpose and that alone—the salvation of the Republic.
Following closely upon the battle of Booneville came the promotion of Colonel Sheridan to
the rank of Brigadier General and his transfer to a larger command in the Army of the Ohio. On
the 9th of July the camp of the Second Iowa was moved to Rienzi, Miss. There the regiment
remained in comparative quiet until the 26th of August, on which date a considerable force of
rebel cavalry made a sudden dash upon the pickets of the regiment and captured six of them.
Colonel Hatch immediately went in pursuit of the enemy, following them for twenty miles, and
twice brought them to a brief stand, inflicting heavy damage upon them, taking eight prisoners
and a quantity of arms and ammunition, which the enemy abandoned after making their last
stand. The loss of the Second Iowa consisted of the six prisoners taken on the picket line, besides
six others wounded in the subsequent engagements and a number of horses killed and disabled.
The pursuit was abandoned late in the evening. the men and horses becoming exhausted on
account of the excessive heat. Lieutenant Colonel Hatch calls particular attention to the
operations of a detachment under the command of First Lieutenant Anton Scherer, of Company
E, which pursued a portion of the enemy on the Ripley road for nine miles, keeping up a running
fire and sometimes charging with the saber. Lieutenant Scherer only abandoned the pursuit upon
being recalled by Colonel Hatch at dark.
On the 5th of September, 1862, the regiment broke camp at Rienzi and, from that date, was
actively engaged in the campaign which ensued and lasted until the end of the year. The
operations of the regiment in this campaign were so numerous that they cannot be here
described, on account of limitation of space. Suffice it to say that the duties performed were
arduous in the extreme. The officers and men were almost constantly in the saddle during the day
and often far into the night, operating upon the flanks and in advance of the army, coming
frequently into contact with small parties of the enemy, giving and receiving hard blows now and
then, killing, wounding and capturing a few of the enemy here and there, and suffering like
reverses in their turn. In the hard-fought battles of Iuka and Corinth the regiment performed
important service but did not become closely engaged. They were always ready, however, to
execute any orders they received, and the General commanding was kept advised of the
movements of the enemy everywhere upon the field by the quickly moving detachments of
cavalry, while upon the infantry and artillery devolved the heavy, continuous fighting which
determined the fortune of battle in favor of the one and against the other of the contending
armies. The great battle of Corinth, on the 3d and 4th days of October, and that which followed a
day or two later on the Hatchie River, closed the fall campaign.
Another great campaign was now undertaken by General Grant, which had for its objective
point the rebel stronghold at Vicksburg, Miss. The
preliminary movements of this campaign, as
8
well as most of the fighting during its progress, devolved upon the cavalry, and in these
movements and conflicts the Second Iowa bore a conspicuous part. At this time Colonel Hatch
was in command of the brigade to which his regiment was attached, and Lieutenant Colonel
Hepburn was serving upon the staff of General Rosecrans, the command of the regiment
devolving upon Major Datus E. Coon, an officer in every way well qualified and worthy of the
honor thus bestowed. The regiment advanced from Corinth on November 2, 1862, and joined the
cavalry division at Grand Junction on the 4th. On November 12th, the army began its march
southward, the cavalry brigade, commanded by Colonel Hatch, taking the advance, the scouts
keeping well out in front and on the Ranks. The enemy's cavalry was alert and watchful and
skirmishing occurred frequently. On several occasions the enemy was encountered in force and
the losses on both sides were quite heavy. The most notable of these encounters were at Water
Valley and Coffeeville. In the former of these Colonel Hatch was entirely successful, defeating
the enemy, killing and wounding many and capturing 100, besides a large number of horses and
mules. At Coffeeville, however, the rebel General Van Dorn made a determined stand with a
large force of infantry, artillery and cavalry, and, after a short but hard-fought engagement, the
Union cavalry found themselves too greatly outnumbered and were compelled to retreat. The
loss of the Second Iowa in this encounter was 22 men, killed and wounded. In his official report
of the operations of his brigade on the Mississippi Central Expedition, Colonel Hatch gives the
full details of each movement and engagement. His description of the desperate situation in
which the Second Iowa Cavalry was placed, at the junction of the Water Valley and Panola
roads, and the splendid manner in which they fought to extricate themselves, the conspicuous
gallantry of the four rifle companies, who were surrounded but refused to surrender and fought
their way through the ranks of the enemy and had five out of seven officers wounded, is of
special interest. In closing his report he says: "Of the officers and soldiers of my command I
cannot speak too highly, especially of the officers and soldiers of the Second Iowa Cavalry, who,
when the enemy was advancing upon them from the front and either flank, conducted themselves
like veterans, pouring volley after volley into the advancing columns." The Colonel makes
special mention of the gallantry of Majors Coon and Kendrick and Lieutenant Belden. l0 Van
Dorn now concentrated all his available cavalry and executed a bold and brilliant movement.
Passing entirely around General Grant's army, he suddenly appeared before Holly Springs, where
an immense quantity of supplies and military stores had been accumulated, guarded by a force of
infantry, cavalry and artillery, deemed amply sufficient for defense against any ordinary force of
the enemy that might have been reasonably supposed to be available to be brought against them.
Even with the superior force with which Van Dorn made the attack, the forces guarding the place
might have held out until they could have been reinforced, but for the incompetency of the
officer in command. who was subsequently dismissed from the service for having surrendered
himself and the greater portion of his command, after making but a feeble resistance.
10 War of the Rebellion Official Records Series 1, Vol. 1, Part 1, page 501. Report of Colonel
Edward Hatch, Brigade Commander.
The following extract from General Grant's order of dismissal of the unfaithful officer shows
his appreciation of the gallant conduct of the officers and men who refused to surrender and cut
their way out through the enemy's lines:
... It is gratifying to notice, in contrast with this, the conduct of a portion of the command;
conspicuous among whom was the Second Illinois Cavalry, who gallantly and successfully
resisted being taken prisoners. Their loss was heavy, but
the enemy's was much greater. Such
9
conduct as theirs will always insure success. Had the commandant of the post exercised the usual
and ordinary precautions for defense. the garrison was sufficiently strong to have repulsed the
enemy, saved our stores from destruction and themselves from capture. 11
11 War of the Rebellion Official Records, Series 1, Vol. 17, Part 1, pages 515 and 516.
The destruction of his supplies compelled General Grant to abandon the expedition, which,
up to that time, had promised such satisfactory results, and to at once begin a retreat towards his
main base of supplies at Memphis. This retreat was fraught with great suffering, the men and
animals being reduced almost to the point of starvation before the wagon trains, sent from
Memphis and La Grange, under heavy escort, could reach them with the much needed supplies.
The compiler has a vivid personal recollection of the pangs of hunger which he and his comrades
endured on that dreadful march.
The regiment with its brigade and division had accomplished much, up to the time the
campaign was brought to such an abrupt termination. In their many encounters they had inflicted
heavy damage upon the enemy, not only in killed and wounded, but had captured many
prisoners, horses and mules, besides destroying much property of great value to the enemy.
When the retrograde march began, they constituted the rear guard of the army, which was again
the post of honor, involving the same constant vigilance and arduous service which was required
in leading the advance. In addition to the duty of guarding the rear of the army against the near
approach of the enemy the cavalry division performed another very important service—that of
rendering the railroad useless to the enemy after they had regained possession of it. At length, on
the 28th of December. the regiment reached La Grange, Tenn., where it went into camp and
enjoyed a season of comparative rest for the remainder of the winter. Detachments were
occasionally sent out in pursuit of roving bands of the enemy, and for the purpose of guarding
forage trains, but, beyond a few encounters with the enemy by these detachments, the regiment
was not called upon for any movement in which all its officers and men were to participate until
the commencement of active operations by the entire army in the early spring of 1863.
On the 10th of March, 1863, Colonel Hatch, with his regiment, left camp at La Grange, and
by a rapid march proceeded to Waterford, Miss., and, in obedience to orders, burned the railroad
bridge which spanned the Tallahatchie River near that point, and also destroyed a quantity of
supplies for the rebel army which he found there. He then by a skillful movement avoided
coming into contact with a superior force which had been sent against him, and returned to his
camp at La Grange, the men and officers of the regiment having been almost constantly in the
saddle for three days and two nights. The regiment, either as a whole or in detachments, was
actively engaged during the remainder of March and the first half of April 1n active operations
against she enemy, preventing concentration of the rebel forces, and, in the various minor
engagements which ensued capturing a considerable number of prisoners, horses and other
property, but, while inflicting these damages upon the rebels the regiment sustained—only in
less degree—the inevitable casualties which such operations involved.
On the 17th of April, 1863 the Second Iowa Cavalry, then comprising a part of the cavalry
brigade under the command of the intrepid Colonel Grierson, again left its camp at La Grange
and started upon what proved to be one of the most remarkable cavalry expeditions of the war.
On the second day out, in obedience to orders from Colonel Grierson Colonel Hatch led the
Second Iowa against a force of the enemy which threatened to delay the: advance of the main
column. In his official report of the engagement which ensued, Colonel Hatch clearly
demonstrates the fact that, by his thus having distracted the attention of the enemy and held it for
thirty-six hours he enabled Colonel Grierson to get so far
beyond the main force of rebels that he
10
could not be overtaken, thus enabling that gallant officer to make a complete success of his
expedition.
The enemy had mistaken the Second Iowa Cavalry, under Colonel Hatch, for the main force,
and the skill with which that delusion was effected, together with the tremendous risk and hazard
to which this relatively small command was exposed is graphically described in the official
report of Colonel Hatch, In which he gives the details of his encounter with the superior force of
the enemy at the town of Palo Alto. 12 In this desperate encounter one company of the Second
Cavalry was separated from the regiment, but, although completely surrounded, refused to
surrender and was subsequently released from its perilous situation by an impetuous charge, led
by Colonel Hatch, in which the ranks of the enemy were broken. After making that gallant
charge and rescuing the company, the regiment slowly retreated; fighting by the rear, the enemy
constantly following, until, four days later the pursuit was abandoned and the regiment joined the
other Union troops at its old camp near La Grange. The losses of the enemy greatly exceeded
those sustained by the regiment on the retreat, Colonel Hatch having availed himself of every
advantage of position to keep his men as well covered as possible, and, fighting always on the
defensive, with repeating arms, was able to overcome the disparity of numbers. The regiment
had, however, expended nearly all its ammunition at the time the enemy drew off from the
pursuit. The General commanding accorded to Colonel Hatch and his regiment the credit of
having made possible the success of Colonel Grierson's great cavalry raid, which terminated at
Baton Rouge on May 2d, with such important results. The conclusion of his official report,
written before it was: known that Colonel Grierson had safely reached his destination, plainly
indicates that Colonel Hatch fully appreciated the importance of having diverted the attention of
the enemy from the main object of the expedition. He says: "The fight at Palo Alto, diverting the
enemy from Colonel Grierson, has undoubtedly given him thirty-six hours start."

The compiler is admonished that more than half the space he can devote to this historical
sketch has already been exhausted; he will, therefore, be compelled to condense even more
closely the account of the operations of the regiment for the remainder of its period of service.
Reference to official reports for details must, therefore, be more frequently made than in the
preceding pages.
Soon after his return to La Grange, Colonel Hatch was placed in command of a brigade, and
the command of the regiment again devolved upon Major Coon. This command marched;
southward to Okolona without meeting with much opposition, the object of the expedition being
mainly the capture of horses and; mules for the use of the cavalry and the transportation trains of
the army. In this it was: very successful, returning on the 6th of May with over 300 animals and a
few days later, making a raid extending eighty miles in another direction, with similar result. On
the latter expedition the brigader encountered a. rebel force under his old antagonist General
Chalmers, who, after a brief engagement, was defeated with a much greater loss than that
sustained by the brigade. From about the middle of May until the 23d of August 1863, the
headquarters of the regiment and brigade were at La Grange, but during that time the regiment,
either as a whole or by regiments, engaged in a number of important operations, which may be
summarized as follows: The raid southwest from La Grange to Panola, a distance of one hundred
miles, which was made for the purpose of retaliation for the firing upon and destruction of
federal transports on the Mississippi River and the killing, in at least one instance, of women and
children. The reprisals were heavy. In the vicinity where
the depredations had been committed,
11
much property was destroyed, and 1,000 horses and mules were captured and brought back to the
camp at La Grange. The next expedition was directed against the cavalry command of the rebel
General Forrest, which at that time occupied the town of Jackson, Tenn. Colonel Hatch marched
with his brigade against this force on the 12th of July. In the engagement which ensued the
Second Iowa was conspicuous for its gallantry, under his capable leader, Major Coon. 13 Among
the casualties in this engagement was Lieutenant John K. Humphrey of the Second Iowa,
severely wounded. In his official report of this engagement Colonel Hatch gives the loss of the
enemy as follows: 4 Captains, 3 Lieutenants and 31 men killed, and not less than 150 wounded,
while the total loss in his own command was but 16. The superior quality of the arms of his men,
and the fact that the heavy loss upon the enemy was inflicted while they were in full retreat,
accounts for the great disparity in the casualties. On the 13th of August, Major Coon, with two
hundred men of the Second Iowa Cavalry and detachments from other regiments of the brigade,
making in all a force of five hundred men, well mounted and equipped, started from La Grange
under orders from Colonel Hatch to proceed south to Grenada, Miss., and destroy a large amount
of railroad rolling stock and other property which the rebel government had accumulated at that
point for the use of its army. The object of the expedition was successfully accomplished. The
property destroyed consisted of two large depots, sixty locomotives, five hundred care: machine
shops and flouring mills, and a large number of army wagons. This was a serious loss to the rebel
army and went far towards counteracting the effect of the effect of General Van Dorn's raid upon
Holly Springs and his destruction of the supplies of the Union army at that place. Major Coon
returned with his detachment to La Grange; August 23d, after an absence of eleven days.

The regiment with its brigade now marched to the city of Memphis, where it Went into camp
August 27, 1863, remaining there until November 1st, on which date, under command of
Lieutenant Colonel Hepburn, it marched to Collierville to reinforce the troops at that place. The
rebel General Chalmers was then approaching Collierville with a large force and the regiment
was just In time to aid in repelling his attack. After a hard-fought engagement the enemy was
driven from the field. They succeeded in carrying off most of their wounded, but left their dead,
forty-one in number, and fifty captured, among whom were one Brigadier General and eight
others who were commissioned officers. The lose on the Union side in this engagement was
thirty-seven. Among the wounded was Captain Charles C. Horton, of the Second Iowa Cavalry.
Upon its return from the pursuit of the enemy the regiment went into camp at Collierville,
remaining there until November 26, 1863, on which date the regiment with its brigade now
marched to the city. It went into camp August 2nd, 1863, remaining there until November 1st, on
which date, under command of Lieutenant Colonel Hepburn, it marched to Olierville to reinforce
the troops at that place. The rebel General then approaching Collierville with a large force and
the regiment came in time to aid in repelling his attack. After a hard-fought battle the enemy was
driven from the field They succeeded in carrying off most of their wounded, but left their dead,
forty-one in number, among whom were a Brigadier General and eight others who were
commissioned officers. Among the Union wounded was Captain Charles C. Horton, of the
Second Iowa Cavalry. Upon its return from the pursuit of the enemy the regiment went into
Camp at Collierville, remaining there until November 26, 1863, on which date it marched to
Covington, in West Tennessee, and, upon arriving there,
went Into Camp. From this point
12
scouting parties were sent out to watch the movements of a large force of the enemy under the
command of the noted rebel General S. D. Lee, which was reported to be advancing from
Oxford. On the first of December Colonel Hatch moved from Covington with his brigade and
matching rapidly, reached Moscow, on the Memphis and Charleston Railroad just In time to
reinforce the small garrison at that place and to repulse the enemy under General Lee, after a
hard-fought engagement, in which Colonel Hatch was very severely wounded, the ball passing
through his right lung and entirely through his body. He refused to leave the field, however, and
continued to direct the movements of his troops until the enemy had been defeated and were in
full retreat, leaving sixty of their number dead upon the field, but succeeding in removing their
wounded. The loss in Colonel Hatch's command was eighty-one—killed, wounded and missing.
The regiment now returned to its former camp at Collierville.
On December 22, 1863 , the regiment, with Captain Graves in command, (Major Coon
having succeeded Colonel Hatch in command of the brigade,) left its camp and, with all the
cavalry which could be hastily concentrated for that purpose, went in pursuit of the noted rebel
General Forrest, who, with about 3,000 men, had again boldly invaded Tennessee and was
engaged in enforcing a merciless conscription of troops for the rebel army. Notwithstanding the
activity of the pursuit, the daring rebel leader succeeded in getting safely out of the State with a
very large number or unarmed conscripts, who were subsequently armed and assigned to the
depleted ranks of regiments in the Rebel army. Returning from the pursuit of Forrest, the
regiment reached its encampment at Collierville December 31, 1863.
On January 2, 1864, the regiment left its camp at Collierville and started for Memphis, where
it arrived on the 4th and went into camp. The men suffered greatly at this time, both upon the
march and in camp, the weather being extremely cold for that latitude. A large number of recruits
joined the regiment and were mustered into the service at Memphis, mailing its aggregate
strength greater than it had been at any time since the fall of 1862. During the remainder of the
month the recruits were drilled and instructed in the duties of the cavalry soldier and became
quite proficient before the regiment again took the field, but they had yet to learn their most
important lessons and the stern realities of the soldier's life in time of war. The officers and men
of the regiment felt a just pride in the splendid record of their gallant Colonel, who was now
separated from them on account of his severe wound. They also entertained the highest regard
for General Grierson, who had demonstrated his great ability as a cavalry leader. The warmest
feeling of personal friendship existed between these two officers. It was through the strong
personal endorsement of General Grierson that the too long delayed promotion Colonel Hatch
was finally secured, and it is deemed proper and fitting to here insert the evidence of
appreciation shown by the General in his letter to the Secretary of War.
HEADQUARTERS CAVALRY DIVISION, SIXTEENTH ARMY CORPS
MEMPHIS, TENN., Jan. 14, 1864
HON. E, M. STANTON
Secretary of War,
SIR: Permit me most respectfully and earnestly to recommend to your consideration Colonel
Edward Hatch, 15 of the Second Iowa Cavalry, for promotion to Brigadier General. He has been
under my command for the past twelve months, and for the last eight months has commanded a
brigade of cavalry. He has proved himself to be an efficient and skillful officer, and has rendered
invaluable service to the country. I consider his promotion not only due to himself but to the best
interests of the service. He is now slowly recovering from a wound through his lungs, received in
a recent engagement at Moscow, Tenn.
13
Most respectfully your obedient servant, B. H. GRIERSON, Brigadier General, Commanding
Cavalry Division, Sixteenth Army Corps
15 Colonel Hatch was promoted to Brigadier General of Volunteers April 27, 1864. Brevetted
Major General of Volunteers, 1864. Mustered out of Volunteer service and appointed Colonel
Ninth United States Cavalry, 1866. He was brevetted major General U. S. Army, 1867. He
remained in the service of his country to the day of his death, April 11, 1889. - Powell's Army
List, 1815-1900.
On the 5th of February, 1864, the regiment again broke camp and marched to Germantown,
where a large. force of cavalry, under command of Generals W. S. Smith and B. H. Grierson, had
been concentrated for the purpose of co-operating with General William T. Sherman, who had
then just started from Vicksburg on his famous Meridian Expedition. This cavalry force was
under orders to join Sherman at Meridian. The rebel General Forrest had again succeeded in
getting together a large force of cavalry and, by a series of skillful maneuvers and well-planned
attacks, managed to delay the advance of the Union cavalry until General Sherman - who had
waited for some time at Meridian for this cavalry force to join him - had started and was well on
his way towards Vicksburg. This enabled Forrest to receive reinforcements from the rebel
cavalry, which had ineffectually opposed Sherman's advance, and it at once became necessary
for Smith and Grierson to retreat to Germantown or Memphis. The movements and engagements
of this cavalry division, both upon the advance and retreat, are well described in the "History of
the Second Iowa cavalry," published soon after the close of the war, when all the events, so
graphically narrated, were fresh in the mind of the writer, and which are found to be in
substantial accord with the official reports.

After giving an account of the advance movement and the engagement in which the Second
Iowa was most conspicuous, and in which Lieutenant H. C. Dwire was killed, and Major Coon,
Captains Graves, Queal and Horton and Lieutenant Bandy displayed great gallantry in directing
the charge against the enemy (the engagement ending with the defeat of the rebels and the
capture of West Point.) he proceeds to describe the retrograde movement. At the beginning of the
retreat, Major Coon was directed to take the Second Iowa and a battalion of the Sixth Illinois and
hold the enemy in check until the large transportation train could get safely under way. The rebel
General Forrest made a desperate attack upon this rear guard for the purpose of capturing the
train. Instead of falling back before this force, Major Coon requested the brigade commander,
Lieutenant Colonel Hepburn, of his own regiment, to allow him to make a standing fight and to
send him reinforcements. Hepburn's reply to this appeal was that the orders of General Smith
must be obeyed, and the retreat continued. There was nothing left but for the rear guard to
continue to slowly retire, protecting both its front and flanks, as best it could, against the
persistent attacks of the enemy. The battalions, under the command of Captains Queal and
Horton, dismounted and fought from behind trees with their Colt's revolving rifles, which
inflicted very heavy damage upon the enemy. Finally the commanding General, realizing the
desperate situation in which his rear guard was placed, sent back a brigade to their support While
these fresh troops at once engaged the enemy at the front. Major Coon's command was
temporarily held in reserve, but still constituted a
portion of the rear guard. The Second Iowa had
14
left fifty of its brave men upon the field, the heaviest loss it had ever sustained in any
engagement up to that time. The fight did not terminate until l o'clock P. M and the retreat
continued until 2 o'clock A. M., when the troops were allowed a brief rest, the retreat being
resumed at daylight. General Smith, being very ill, now relinquished the command to General
Grierson, and that officer, by the exercise of great skill and energy, conducted the retreat to
Germantown The day he assumed command the situation looked very desperate. Forrest
repeatedly renewed his attacks on the rear and flanks of the retreating army captured part of its
artillery and, at one time, threatened the capture of the entire command. It was only by the most
determined bravery and persistent fighting that Grierson finally arrived within reach of infantry
reinforcements, and the daring rebel leader abandoned the pursuit. The officers and men of the
Second Iowa Cavalry were almost constantly in the saddle for sixty hours and, for the greater
part of that time, engaged in action. Upon reaching Germantown both men and horses had
reached the point of extreme exhaustion. The regiment arrived at its camp on the 26th of
February, having been absent on the expedition sixteen days.
After resting a short time, the regiment marched to Memphis and went into camp there.
Major Coon and General Grierson now made a special effort to induce the men to re-enlist for
another term of three years, or during the war. These officers were very popular with the
regiment, and their efforts resulted in the re-enlistment of a sufficient number of men to entitle
the regiment to the designation of a veteran organization. The re-enlisted men were again
mustered into the service on the 28th of March, 1864, and, from that date, the regiment had the
new title of Second Iowa Veteran Cavalry Volunteers. The aggregate strength of the regiment at
this time was 1,088, of which number 45 were commissioned officers, 360 re-enlisted veterans
and 683 non-veterans and recruits. The re-enlisted men were granted a furlough of thirty days, to
begin from the time they arrived at Davenport, Iowa. They embarked on steamer at Memphis,
April 7, 1864. Upon reaching Davenport they were accorded an enthusiastic reception. They then
received their furloughs and departed for their respective homes. On the 15th of May they
reassembled at Davenport and, on the 17th, departed for St. Louis. In the meantime Colonel
Hatch had been promoted to Brigadier General, Major Coon succeeding him as Colonel of the
regiment and Captains Horton, Schnitger and Moore had become Battalion Majors. At St. Louis
the veterans were supplied with horses and then proceeded to Memphis, where they arrived on
the 29th of May and rejoined the non-veterans and recruits, who had, in the meantime, been
performing garrison duty at Fort Pickering, under command of Lieutenant Colonel Hepburn.
Here the regiment was supplied with the latest improved arms, Spencers' seven- shooting
carbines, at that time considered the most effective cavalry arm in the service.
Another active and aggressive campaign was now about to begin. The rebel General Forrest
had captured Fort Pillow and won a victory over the troops commanded by General Sturgis.
Emboldened by these successes, Forrest had established his headquarters at Tupelo, Miss., where
he was daily augmenting his forces and bidding defiance to any force that might be sent against
him. General A. J. Smith was ordered to Memphis to take command of the Union forces there
and to proceed against Forrest. The Second Iowa Cavalry now belonged to the cavalry division
commanded by General B. B Grierson, its own Colonel, D. E. Coon, being in command of the
brigade to which his regiment was attached, while the regiment was under the command of
Major C. C. Horton, whose series of admirable official reports describe with great particularity
of detail all the movements and operations of the regiment from the day he became its
commander to the close of the year 1864. 18 Appended to these reports are the lists of casualties
sustained during the period embraced, showing how the regiment had fought and suffered during
the campaign. The principal engagements in which the regiment took part, and included in Major
Horton's reports, are here given in the order in which
they occurred: Tupelo, Miss., Ripley,
15
Miss., Pontotoc, Miss., Oxford, Miss., Hurricane Creek Miss., Shoal Creek, Ala., Aberdeen,
Ala., Butler Creek, Ala., Lawrenceburg, Tenn., Campbellville, Tenn., Linville, Tenn., Mount
Carmel, Tenn., and near Franklin, Tenn. In addition to these engagements there were many
skirmishes by detachments and individual encounters with the enemy by the scouts. During the
greater part of this time the former Colonel of the regiment—General Hatch—was in command
of the cavalry division to which the regiment and its brigade belonged. This was a matter of
mutual satisfaction to the General and to the officers and men of his old regiment. They were
renewing the contest with their old enemy, the rebel General Forrest and his forces, with whom
they had so often met in conflict before. These two Generals had learned each other's methods of
attack and defense, and, in the dreadful game of war in which they were engaged, it became a
question of skill and ability on the part of these great cavalry leaders as to which should gain the
advantage. In so far as the element of bravery and daring of the leaders and their followers was
concerned, it may be said that the one equaled the other. They were all American soldiers, and,
as a rule, displayed the same courage on the battlefield. Major Horton makes special mention of
the following officers of his regiment during the campaign,—Battalion Majors Schnitger and
Moore, Captains Stiles, Bandy, Goodrich and Foster, Lieutenants Watson, Rumple, Budd and
Griffith. While the Major especially commended these officers for gallantry and coolness in
action, he also commends all the officers and men of his regiment, and states that he finds it hard
to mention the conspicuous acts of bravery of some without doing injustice to others. The
distance marched on this campaign was nearly 600 miles. The loss of the regiment, from
September 30, 1864 to January 1, 1865, was 12 killed, 3 mortally wounded, 44 wounded and 8
captured by the enemy. Two of the men captured were severely wounded before they
surrendered. Two others, who were captured, escaped and returned to the regiment on the 28th of
December, 1864, leaving the net loss of the regiment 65. The loss of the cavalry division during
the same period was 600, that of the Second Iowa being considerably above the average.
18 Report of Adjutant General of Iowa, 1865, Vol. 2, pages 933 to 940 inclusive.
On December 2, 1864, the regiment, with its brigade and division, fell back to Nashville,
crossed the Cumberland River and went into camp at Edgefield, to which place the tents and
knapsacks had been forwarded. The men were very glad to again have these equipments, having
been deprived of them since leaving their camp at Whitens Station in September. In the
meantime they had bivouacked in the open field. with no protection save that afforded by the
army blanket. The weather had now become intensely cold and the men suffered very greatly. It
was evident that another desperate struggle was now impending and could not long be delayed.
The opposing armies of Generals Thomas and Hood were constantly employed in fortifying the
positions they occupied, that of Thomas being along a chain of hills encircling the city of
Nashville, and that of Hood along another chain of hills from one to four miles distant from that
city. General Thomas, after making every preparation to meet the threatened attack finally
determined to assume the offensive. and made the necessary disposition of his troops for the
purpose of assaulting the enemy along the entire line of his works. The cavalry division,
commanded by General Hatch, was ordered to recross the Cumberland River on the 12th of
December, and was assigned to a position on the right of General A. J. Smith's Corps.
Everything being in readiness, the advance was ordered on the morning of December 15, 1864,
and the result of the tremendous struggle which ensued went far towards the complete overthrow
of the so-called Confederate Government and the restoration of peace. It was the greatest battle
in which the Second Iowa Cavalry participated and the one in which the regiment won its highest
honors. In this battle Colonel Coon commanded the brigade,
while Lieutenant Colonel Horton
16
(recently promoted from Major) commanded the regiment, assisted by Major Schnitger and
Captains Foster and Bandy, his battalion commanders. The compiler of this sketch feels that he
is justified in trespassing somewhat on the limits assigned him, in quoting from the official report
of Lieutenant Colonel Horton, to such an extent at least as to show the most conspicuous features
of the service performed by his regiment in this great battle. It will be noted that the regiment
fought mainly dismounted on the first day and part of the second day of the battle.
HEADQUARTERS SECOND IOWA CAVALRY, VETERAN VOLUNTEERS,
General: I have the honor to make the following report of the operations of the Second
Cavalry since the 15th of December, 1864 embracing the two days battle near Nashville, and the
subsequent pursuit of the rebel General Hood. In obedience to orders from brigade headquarters,
moved from camp on the morning of the 15th of December, 1864, at eight o'clock, men
dismounted and horses following in the rear. After marching one mile, our brigade —the Second
of the Fifth Division, Cavalry Corps —took position on the right of General A. J. Smith's Corps
of Infantry, the Sixth and Ninth Illinois Cavalry on my left, the Seventh Illinois Cavalry on my
right. Complying with the movements of the commands, my left moved forward, swinging the
while to the left, the enemy's skirmish line falling back steadily before our advance. Their main
line was found some four miles from town, occupying formidable works on a commanding hill.
By continually swinging to the left our brigade struck their left flank. The division battery ("I" of
the Second Illinois) now galloped into position in an open field and opened on the works,
evidently much to their annoyance, as the guns of both forts were immediately turned upon the
battery and my regiment which had been formed to the left and rear as support. Remained lying
in this position, exposed to a galling fire from both forts for nearly an hour, losing two men
killed and one wounded, when I received orders to move forward and join in an assault upon the
first fort. The regiment moved steadily forward under a severe fire until within three hundred
yards of the works, when the order to "Charge and take that fort" from General Hatch rang along
the line. With a shout the men sprang forward, and with a shout the fort was carried. Company
G. Lieutenant Budd commanding, having been thrown out as skirmishers, were nearest the
works, and consequently the first to enter. One man was knocked down by a blow from a musket
just as he was scaling the works. One of General Smith's batteries shelled the fort after it was
captured, six shells bursting in and over it after we had entered. Captured here four brass
Napoleons and sixty prisoners. Thirty killed and wounded rebels were found lying in the fort.
Leaving a guard with the guns, I pressed forward after the retreating enemy capturing many
prisoners. Orders were now received from Colonel Coon to move by the right flank and charge
the second fort, situated some seven hundred yards to our right on a conical hill. The men were
so eager in the pursuit of the fugitives from the first fort that I was able to rally only two hundred
of them; with these I joined the brigade in the assault. The fort was defended with a stubbornness
and gallantry seldom surpassed—the enemy only ceasing to use their artillery after the works
were scaled. A short but desperate hand-to-hand struggle ensued after the works were entered.
My colors, borne by the gallant Sergeant Hartman, Company F, were the first to float from the
fort. The Sergeant fell mortally wounded while in the act of planting the colors on one of the
guns. Seizing my hand as I bent over him, he exclaimed, "Major, tell my friends I, died doing my
duty." In this fort were captured two guns, with caissons; one battery wagon, and nearly one
hundred prisoners. Notwithstanding my colors were the first to enter the works, it would be
unjust to claim the guns or prisoners as my particular prize, as the different regiments of the
brigade entered so nearly at the same time. Lieutenants Watson and Griffith, Companies I and D,
who, not having heard the order to rally in time to join in the assault on the fort, moved by the
right and charged on our left flank, attacking and
repulsing a force of rebels who were
17
endeavoring to re-enforce the fort, now reported with some sixty prisoners each. Quartermaster
Sergeant Beeson, with my bugler, Anderson, and mounted orderlies (Truesdale and Winn)
charged with the saber, killing and wounding several and taking some seventy prisoners. Number
of prisoners captured during the day, two hundred and fifty. Regiment lost, while supporting the
battery and charging the two forts, six men killed, and two commissioned officers and eighteen
men wounded. .. Moved again at daylight.... Found the enemy in strong force, occupying a line
of hills on "Little Harpeth," four miles south of Franklin. General Hatch moved his division to
the front, formed on the right of General Hammond, Second Iowa on the extreme right. The line
moved at a walk for some three hundred yards, then the trot, and finally the charge was sounded.
At the signal, all sprang forward but the center found it impossible to carry the position on
account of the steep and rocky hill-side. They halted here, dismounted, and engaged the enemy
on foot. Not receiving the order to halt, and having better ground in front, I pressed forward,
charged up the hill and through a thick wood, until we reached the enemy's left and rear, who
now opened on me with grape and canister from the batteries. Wheeling the regiment to the left,
I ordered the charge upon the battery to our left, but the horses were poor and so much blown
that they could only raise a slow trot, perceiving which, the enemy charged us in turn, but were
handsomely repulsed with the carbines.
A strong force of rebels were now reported passing through the gap between my regiment
and the balance of the brigade. The fact that the day was dark and rainy, and that they wore
rubber ponchos, and were many of them dressed in blue, had led my men to believe them to be
our own troops, so they were nearly in the rear of the Third Battalion before the mistake was
discovered. Company K, Sergeant John Coulter commanding, were nearly surrounded, and were
compelled to cut their way out with the saber. Sergeant Coulter, with Corporal Heck and privates
Black and Anderson (same company), charged the rebel color guard, and, after a desperate handto-
hand struggle, in which Heck and Black were killed, and Coulter and Anderson badly
wounded, the colors of Rosser's Brigade were captured and borne triumphantly off by the
Sergeant. Eight dead rebels, lying within the space of a few yards, attest the desperate nature of
the conflict. After a few moments' close fighting, in which the saber and butts of guns were
freely used, the rebels fell back. The regiment being somewhat disorganized, I withdrew from
the range of the artillery to reform and communicate with the brigade. Although I found the
enemy too strong to drive, I held my ground and finally compelled them to vacate their position
on the hill. General Hatch now pressed them on the pike, capturing three pieces of artillery. My
loss during the engagement was seven killed, eight wounded and thirteen captured. Several
others were captured but made their escape, in some instances returning with their guards as
prisoners. Regiment captured in all some fifty prisoners....Of the conduct of the officers and men,
I can only speak in terms of highest commendation. Where every soldier (officers and men)
deserves special mention, it is hard to discriminate. I will only make special mention of
Lieutenant Sydenham, Regimental Adjutant and my battalion commanders, Major Schnitger and
Captains Foster and Bandy, to whom I am greatly indebted for the efficient, prompt and gallant
manner in which all my orders were executed. Appended is the loss sustained by the regiment
during the campaign, sixteen killed, four officers and twenty-nine men wounded; thirteen
prisoners.
I am, Sir, very respectfully, your obedient Servant, Charles Horton, Lieutenant Colonel

19 Report of .Adjutant General of Iowa 1865, Vol. 2, pages 937 to 940 inclusive.
That portion of Lieutenant Colonel Horton's report which has been omitted describes in detail
the operations of the regiment while in pursuit of General Hood's army, and embraces the dates
from December 17th to 26th, inclusive.
On December 27th a detachment of five hundred of the most effective men and horses in the
brigade, of which two hundred were chosen from the Second Iowa, was ordered to proceed in
advance of the cavalry division and follow Hood's retreating army to the Tennessee River. This
detachment pressed so closely upon the enemy's rear guard as to compel the abandonment of a
large number of ambulances and wagons. Captain Bandy and Lieutenant Hamilton, with fifty
men of the Second Iowa, gave the parting shots that hastened the retreat of the last of the enemy
across the river on the evening of December 28, 1864. The regiment had thus been conspicuous
in all the operations against Hood's army from the commencement of the battle of Nashville until
that army was almost destroyed and all that remained of it was in full retreat. Among all the
splendid regiments which composed the cavalry division commanded by that prince among
leaders, General Edward Hatch, there was none which gained greater honor and distinction than
the Second Iowa Cavalry. The Second Brigade of the division to which the regiment belonged,
and which was commanded by its own Colonels during the entire campaign, had to its credit the
capture of one General, two Majors, two Captains, six Lieutenants and 1,176 enlisted men of the
rebel army, also 4 stands of colors, 1,315 muskets, 15 pieces of artillery, 21 wagons and 7
ambulances
The regiment, with its brigade and division, upon returning from the pursuit of Hood's army,
arrived at Eastport, Miss., January 11, 1865, and went into winter quarters at that place.
On the 19th of February, Major Schnitger, with four hundred men from the Second Iowa and
Ninth Illinois Cavalry, conducted a successful expedition against a force of cavalry under
command of the rebel General Roddy, returning to camp with a large number of prisoners, most
of whom were found hiding in the woods, they having deserted the rebel commander, who
continued to retreat with the remainder of his force and made good his escape. During the
remainder of the winter the regiment was not called upon for active duty as the war was
practically ended. During the spring and summer of 1865 the operations of the regiment
extended over a considerable territory in the northern sections of Alabama and Mississippi, but
these operations were more in the nature of a pacific than hostile character, the real necessity for
the retention of troops in the Southern States during this period being for the purpose of
maintaining order, and assisting in the readjustment of the functions of civil government.
23 Colonel Datus E. Coon received the rank of Brevet Brigadier General, for gallant and
meritorious services during this campaign.
Upon the disbandment of the brigade which he had so long commanded Colonel Coon issued
the following order:
HEADQUARTERS SECOND BRIGADE, FIFTH DIVISION, C. C. M. D. M.
(General Order No. 11) DECATUR, ALA., July 7, 1865.
Veteran Companions: This day the identity of the old Second Brigade is lost and its
unflinching battle line, that covered our retiring forces at west Point and Prairie Station, that
saved a disorganized command at Okolona, that raise the well earned cry of victory at Hurricane
Creek and Tupelo. that presented its unbroken front to Hood's advancing hosts at Shoal Creek,
Mt. Carmel, Linville, Lawrenceburg Pike and Franklin, and that taught the world a new lesson in
cavalry warfare when It waved its victorious battle flag
on the captured redoubts before
19
Nashville; that unwavering battle scarred line has at last by order of your Department
Commander been broken, and in parting I feel proud in giving expression to the heartfelt God
speed and sincere well wishes mutually exchanged by the officers and men of the brigade. You
have endured storms, hunger, fatigue and disaster and enjoyed sunshine and plenty, and many a
victorious march together. Under each other's faithful watch, you have slept without fear in many
a dangerous bivouac. Shoulder to shoulder you have stood the battle tide of many a sanguinary
field, and the greatest good I can wish for you is that your future happiness and prosperity may
be as great and unremitting as our past patriotism, fidelity and courage, while better cause for
honest pride. I shall never have than this: I once commanded the Second Brigade. Officers,
Soldiers and Comrades, Farewell.
By order of
DATUS E. COON, Brevet Brigadier General.
JOHN H. AVERY, Capt. and A. A .A. G
It should be here stated that, as their original terms of service had expired, those who had not
re-enlisted had been mustered out of the service and returned to their homes. Those men had, by
virtue of their three years' faithful service, become veterans in fact though not in name, the title
having been officially bestowed upon their comrades who chose to remain until the close of the
war. No criticism could, however, be justly made upon the action of those men who had
honorably fulfilled the obligation they had taken upon themselves at the beginning of the war,
and they returned to their homes with the highest regard of their comrades who remained.
Early in the month of September, the Veteran Second Iowa Cavalry was ordered to proceed
to Selma, Ala., at which place, on the 19th day of September, 1865, it was mustered out of the
service of the United States. It was then provided with transportation to Davenport, Iowa, and,
upon arriving there, was disbanded, and the officers and men returned to their respective homes.
Major General A. J. Smith, in concluding his farewell address to the troops he had so long
commanded, used the following words of praise and admonition: "Your military history is
without blot or stain. With this record of your service you can return to your respective homes,
with the consciousness that you have performed your full duty, won the respect and admiration
of your commanders, and well deserved the confidence and trust of the country that in her hour
of danger placed you in ranks and trusted to you her battles. Still continue to merit that
confidence and trust, by becoming as good citizens as you have been soldiers. Remember that for
a Republican government the main requisite is enlightened, moral and industrious citizens.
Unless you become such the results of your entire service are lost to you. Let the memory of
what you have endured endear to you every foot of American soil. Having asserted the
supremacy of the General Government in arms, assist, now, in creating for it a glorious future
among nations."
The survivors of the Second Iowa Cavalry have, as citizens, as faithfully observed this
parting injunction of their old commander as they obeyed his orders when fighting for the
preservation of a united country. Let those who come after them cherish their memory and
emulate their patriotic example in time of peace, and, if need be, in war.
