In May, 1861, the leaven of revolution was working with vehement energy in West Ten- nessee. The masses were thoroughly aroused. There was but one impulse, one sentiment, among the people, and that was resistance to coercion at whatever cost. In great part op- posed to secession from the old Union, and not yet wedded to the principles of an inde- pendent self-government for the Southern States, already asserted farther South; yet with a unanimity of purpose and action rare- ly if ever equaled in former revolutions, the masses of the people—men and women—pre- pared for the impending conflict. Armed and uniformed men were to be seen on every side; 8 The Seventh Tennessee Cavalry. white tents dotted the fields and hill-sides; committees of ladies worked day and night upon the gray jackets, or solicited blankets at the farm-houses “for the boys in camp;” and the measured tread of companies, battal- ions, and regiments could be heard through- out the land. Whatever may now be thought of the wisdom of the great upheaval, no one at this day can question the sincerity or self- sacrificing devotion of the participants. Amid these stormy scenes the senior company of the historical Seventh Tennessee Cavalry Regi- ment, not the least famous of the splendid mounted organizations which afterward went to make up “ Forrest’s Cavalry,” was sworn into the service of the State of Tennessee on May 16, 1861, for twelve months, and chris- tened “Memphis Light Dragoons.” The com- pany had been organized the previous year, under an act of incorporation by the Tennes- see Legislature, as a military company, and at the date of enlistment was officered as fol- lows: Captain, Thomas H. Logwood; First Lieutenant, Thomas Howard; Second Lieutenant, William F. Taylor; Third Lieutenant, E. B. Trezevant. On May 31, 1861, “ Hill’s Cavalry,” of Tip- The Seventh Tennessee Caralry. 9 ton County, was organized at Mason’s Depot, and mustered into the State servicc as twelve months men. It was officered as follows: Captain, C. H. Hill; First Lieutenant, F. A. Claiborne; Second Lieutenant, R. A. Field; Third Lieutenant, J. U. Green. This was afterward Company B. On May , 1861, the “Marion Foxes,” afterward styled the “Shelby Light Dra- goons,” was organized at. Memphis, as fol- lows: Captain, John G. Ballentyne; First Lieutenant, W. B. Maxwell; Second Lieutenant, Kenneth Garrett; Third Lieutenant, Martin S. Armstrong. This was subsequently Company C. S. P. Bassett was the second captain, and was wounded and disabled at Medon August 31, 1862. Second Lieutenant John Allbright was also killed at Medon, Tenn. About June 14, 1861, the “Tennessee Mounted Rifles” was mustered into service at Memphis, by Captain Josiah S. White. The other officers were: First Lieutenant, William Montgomery ; Second Lieutenant, A. R. Moore; Third Lieutenant, William Hall. 10 The Seventh Tennessee Cavalry. It was constituted Company D, in the first. battalion organization, on September 7, 1861.. In this company N. B. Forrest, afterward. Lieutenant-general of Cavalry, was enrolled as a private soldier June 14, 1861. Company D, as lettered at the reorganiza-- tion of the regiment, June 10, 1862, was or- ganized at Brownsville, in Haywood County, (the first company), in April, 1861. The of-. ficers were: Captain, R. W. Haywood; First Lieutenant, L. H. Johnson; Second Lieutenant, J. W-. Jones; Third Lieutenant, J. M. Shaw. Company E was organized at Bolivar, in Hardeman County, in the spring of 1861. The first officers were as follows: Captain, J. J. Neely; First Lieutenant, T. G. Patrick; Second Lieutenant, Leon Bills; Brevet Second Lieutenant, W. W. Mc-. Cauley. Company F, or the “Forked Deer Ran- gers,” enlisted in Haywood County, and was. mustered into the service of the Confederate States at Camp Beauregard, Ky., Novem- ber 4, 1861, under Captain, C. C. Clay; The Seventh Tennessee Cavalry. 11 First Lieutenant, H. G. Winburn; Second Lieutenant, C. A. Jones; Brevet Second Lieutenant, J. HE. Gregory. Company G was organized at Paris, Tenn., and was sworn into service November 13, 1861, with these officers, to wit: Captain, J. G. Stocks; First Lieutenant, F. F. Aden; Second Lieutenant, J. J. Blake; Brevet Second Lieutenant, Benjamin Diggs. Company H was organized at Dresden, Tenn., in the autumn of 1861, and was con- stituted as follows: Captain, H. C. McCutchen; First Lieutenant, J. A. Jenkins; Second Lieutenant, James Williams; Brevet Second Lieutenant, E. T. Hollis. Company I was mustered into service in Tipton County in 1862 by Captain, Lafayette Hill; First Lieutenant, John T. Douglass; Second Lieutenant, Philip A. Fisher; Brevet Second Lieutenant, Henry D. Smith. Company K was organized in Shelby and Fayette Counties, with Captain, Samuel F. Taylor; 12 The Seventh Tennessee Cavalry. First Lieutenant, William F. Broadnax; Second Lieutenant, J. J. Mullins; Brevet Second Lieutenant, W. L. Burle- son. This company, late in the war, was very much diminished, and consolidated with Company C and others; and a company un- der Captain James A. Anderson, from Bal- lentyne’s Battalion, took its place as Compa- ny K, at Verona, Miss., in February, 1865, with the following officers: Captain, James A. Anderson; First Lieutenant, J. S. Hiller; Second Lieutenant, John Trent; Brevet Second Lieutenant, E. R. Scruggs. Company L was enlisted at Brownsville, Tenn., in April, 1862, and was organized May 12, 1862, with Captain, James A. Taylor; First Lieutenant, Alexander Duckworth; Second Lieutenant, A. Austin; Brevet Second Lieutenant, Frank Pugh. Company M was enlisted and sworn into service in the spring of 1862, in Haywood and Lauderdale Counties, and elected the fol- lowing officers: Captain, James G. Haywood; First Lieutenant, J. M. Shaw; The Seventh Tennessee Cavalry. 13 Second Lieutenant, Benjamin T. Davis; Brevet Second Lieutenant, William H. Moore. These companies were composed entirely of volunteers, and the regiment into which they were finally merged never contained a conscript on the rolls. Their tender of serv- ice was in all cases prompted entirely by pa- triotism. A complete roster of the officers and pri- vates of these companies will be given on a subsequent page, with a list of casualties, promotions, etc., annexed. It is impracticable in this short space to give a detailed account of the movements and adventures of these companies between the dates of their enlistment and the date of their enrollment in Logwood’s Battalion, or subsequently in the Seventh Tennessee Cavalry. They were not generally impor- tant. Company A, after enlistment in the State service, went at once to Fort Randolph, Tenn., and reported for duty to Brig.-Gen. John L. T. Sneed. Some weeks later it was ordered to accompany Gen. Pillow in his ex- pedition to New Madrid, Mo.; and after- ward, during the summer, was marched to 14 The Seventh Tennessee Cavalry. Columbus, Ky., under Gen. Polk. It re- mained there, doing picket duty, until Sep- tember 7, when it became the senior Company A of Logwood’s Battalion, The company was finely drilled, mounted, and equipped, and presented a martial appearance. Company B, or “ Hill’s Cavalry,” after its organization at Mason Depot, May 31, 1861, marched to Clopton Camp-ground, about six miles off, and remained there, encamped and drilling, until late in the summer, when they were ordered to Columbus, Ky. Here, on September 7, they became part of Logwood’s Battalion, the nucleus of the Seventh Ten- nessee. In March, 1862, at Union City, the company elected J. P. Russell, Captain; H. T. Sale, First Lieutenant; P. T. Wynn, Sec- ond Lieutenant; and I. N. Stinson, Brevet Second Lieutenant. This was at the date of the first organization of the regiment. Company C was organized soon after Com- pany A, and went into camp at the old fair- grounds, near Memphis, where they were drilled and tutored as soldiers until late in the summer, when they were ordered to Co- lumbus, Ky., and became part of Logwood’s Battalion. This company was well mounted, but poorly equipped, and armed with shot- The Seventh Tennessee Cavaliy. 15 guns and pistols, their uniforms consisting of red shirts, without coats. Their drill, how- ‘ever, was very fine. Company D (White’s) has a history almost identical with Company A, from its enlist- ment in, June, 1861, to its enrollment in the First Regiment in March, 1862, and it need mot be here repeated. Company D (Haywood’s), after organiza- ‘tion in April, 1861, remained at Brownsville ‘until May 23, 1861, at which date it was mus- ‘tered into the service of the State, at Jack- ‘son, as twelve months men, by Col. A. W. Campbell. H.J. Livingston was made third lieutenant, vice J. M. Shaw, resigned; and W. L. Duckworth became second lieutenant ‘shortly after, vice J. W. Jones, resigned. It remained here until about the middle of July, when it was ordered to Fort Wright, at Ran- ‘dolph, and soon after joined Gen. Pillow’s expedition from New Madrid into Missouri. While in Missouri Lieut. Johnson resigned, and Lieut. Duckworth became first lieuten- ant; Lieut. Livingston, second lieutenant; and James Bond, third lieutenant. Moving to Columbus, Ky., late in the summer, the company was, on September 7, by General Order No. 19, organized as part of Logwood’s 16 The Seventh Tennessee Cavalry. Battalion; and on October 24, 1861, by Or- der No. 13 (First Division, Western Depart- ment), was detailed to serve with Gen. . Third Division, and was in a skirmish at Blandsville, Ky., in the fall of 1861. ‘It re- mained at Camp Beauregard during the win-- ter on outpost duty; and was ordered, about March 1, 1862, to Island 10, near which place it remained during the siege of the island. The company went thence, by order of Gen. McCown, to Fort Pillow; and soon after the battle of Shiloh, on April 7, 1861, was or-- dered to report to Col. Jackso at Trenton, and joined him about the middle of April, when it became part of the First Tennessee- Regiment (Seventh), under the first organi-. zation by Col. Jackson. Company H, after its enrollment at Boli-. var in the early spring of 1861, marched to Jackson; thence to Randolph, and on to Co- lumbus, Ky., where on September 7, by Gen- eral Order No. 19, it became part of Log-. wood’s Battalion; and on October 24, 1861, by General Order No. 13, the company was with Haywood’s Company D detached to serve with the Third Division of Infantry. At the end of March, 1862, it became part of” the first or temporary organization of the The Seventh Tennessee Cavalry. 17 First Tennessee (Seventh), under Col. Jack- son. The succeeding officers, in their order, were: W.J. Tate and J. P. Statler, Captains; and Fisk Weaver, T. P. Harris, Lee Ruffin, and William Mashburn, Lieutenants. The remaining companies, between the dates of their enlistment and organization (from November, 1861, to May, 1862) and their enrollment into the regiment, had no ad- ventures of moment or interest, and com- menced their fighting career as members of the First (afterward Seventh) Tennessee Cavalry. Four of the above companies—A, B, C, and D, or White’s company—were engaged in outpost duty and in short scouting opera- tions at Randolph, and afterward at Colum- bus, Ky., and the surrounding country, dur- ing July and August, 1861. On September 7 Gen. Polk, moved by the exigences of the service, issued General Order No. 19, at Co- lumbus, directing the organization of a bat- talion out of the cavalry companies of Log- wood, White, Neely, Haywood, Hill, and Ballentyne, the “Tennessee Troopers,” and Bowie’s and Faulkner’s Alabama companies. The order contained this clause: ‘‘'The elec- tion of field officers of the Tennessee Battal- 2 18 The Seventh Tennessee Cavalry. ion having been suspended by appeal, and the necessities of the public service demand- ing battalion organization, the organization becomes a necessity.” (‘ Rebel. Records,” 3, p. 699.) The election resulted in the choice of Capt. Thomas H. Logwood, of Company A, to be Lieutenant-Colonel; Capt. C. H. Hill, of Company B, as Major; and Private John W. Somervell, of Company B, as Adjutant. The new organization was styled ‘ Logwood’s Battalion,” being the Sixth Battalion of Ten- nessee Cavalry. By reason of these promo- tions Lieut. W. F. Taylor became captain of Company A, and Lieut. J. U. Green, captain of Company B. ; On September , 1861, the battalion commenced its fighting career, a small de- tachment being for the first time under fire. While engaged in the daily scout toward El- liott’s Mills, on Mayfield Creek, Kentucky— a duty performed with such clock-like regu- larity by a detachment, over the same road, that it gave the enemy every opportunity to capture it—a squadron of ten men of Compa- ny C, under Sergeant Griffin, were fired upon from an ambuscade on the bluff, overhanging a ravine or road cut leading to the creek The Seventh Tennessee Cavalry. 19 through a corn-field, into which they had un- guardedly ridden. Being fresh men, unac- customed to warfare, and having their guns strapped to their saddles for convenience of carriage, they imagined the enemy to be in large force; and, observing a line of men across the road in front who ordered them to surrender, they stampeded gallantly to the rear, smelling their first powder and losing one hat. The enemy, being an infantry pick- et of ten men of the Seventh Iowa Regiment, of course did not pursue, and the stampede halted a short distance rearward, except Pri- vate May, who did not pull rein until in camp. As an evidence of the doubtful effi- ciency of these early scouting parties on both sides, we find them severally reporting their antagonists’ forces at about one hundred and fifty men. But they were not long in acquir- ing soldiership of a higher order. On September 22, 1861, the battalion, by order of Gen. Polk, moved on Elliott’s Mills, a hamlet on Mayfield Creek, Kentucky, ten miles from Columbus, to ascertain the ene- my’s strength at that point. The battalion charged in column into the midst of the ene- my’s encampment, and finding them strong in force, drew out and retired without loss. 20 The Seventh Tennessee Cavalry. The enemy lost one killed and five wounded in the skirmish. Soon after (October , 1861) the battal- ion was for a third time brought under fire, near Paducah, Ky., and this time with severe loss. Lieut.-Col. Logwood moved at night, with Companies A and ©, to the immediate vicinity of Paducah, and made an attack upon the enemy’s pickets in the dark. This ques- tionable movement resulted in the loss of Private Ed Gallagher, of Company C, who was instantly killed by the fire, probably, of our own men, and the wounding of Privates Holmes and Fleming, of Company A. The attack inflicted no loss, according tothe Fed- eral reports, on the enemy, though Lieut.- Col. Logwood reported killing and captur-~ ing their entire outpost. The two companies retired at once to their original positions, bringing off their dead and wounded. This was the first loss inflicted on the battalion after its formation. On December 24, 1861, the battalion was attached, by General Order No. 13 (First Division, Western Department), to Gen. Pil- low’s First Division; and by the same order Haywood’s Company D and Neely’s Com- pany E were detached to serve with the The Seventh Tennessee Cavalry. 21 Third Division, and Bowie’s and Faulkner’s Alabama companies to the Fourth Division, leaving only Companies A (Taylor’s), B (Hill’s), C (Ballentyne’s), and D (White’s), in the battalion. (‘Rebel. Records,” 3, p. 723.) Privates Gus Benson and J. T. Hunt, of Company B, were both attacked with camp measles in the autumn of 1861, from which Benson died and Hunt was so broken in health as to incapacitate him for service. ‘On November 7, 1861, was fought the bat- tle of Belmont, Mo., opposite Columbus, Ky., and Company A was ordered across the river, under Lieut.-Co]. Logwood, to rende such assistance as cavalry could in that com- bat. Once across, they were placed on the left of the army, under—or rather in con- junction with—Lieut.-Col. J. H. Miller, com- manding a battalion of Mississippi cavalry, including the Bolivar Troop and Thompson’s Cavalry. Reaching the field after the first onset of the enemy, the Tennessee troopers had but little part in this combat, other than skirmishing, but were treated for the first time to a view of the grand tactics of battle, though without loss other than a few horses. They were, however, made the victims of a prolix and stilted report of their commander, 22 The Seventh Tennessee Cavalry. Lieut.-Col. Miller, who consumed many pages of manuscript in narrating what his cavalry did not do in that noted battle. (Rebel. Records,” 3, 350.) White’s Company D was carried over late in the day, as an escort, by Gen. Polk, and took but little part in the af- fair. Private Ed Gaylor, of Company C, failing to get leave to accompany the detach- ment across the river, evaded his commander and went over with a command of infantry— an act of enthusiasm which cost him his life, he being killed on the field. During December and January the battal- ion was actively engaged in scouting and other duties, but in January encamped at Camp Desha, Moscow, Ky. About February 3 a scouting party was sent out from Camp Desha toward the Ten- nessee River, under Col. Miller, along with which was Company B, Capt. J. U. Green, and Company G, Capt. J. G. Stocks. They moved to Paris and thence to the railroad bridge at Danville, where they found that the enemy had taken to their boats, and the gun-boats showing their teeth by opening their ports, the gallant horse soldiers retired out of range and returned to camp near Paris. They went soon after on a scout The Seventh Tennessee Cavalry. 23 north-east of Paris, and finding the enemy’s pickets drove them in on the main body. Col. Miller, suspecting a ruse, sent Capt. Stocks’s company forward to locate the enemy. The captain, on ascending a high hill with his company, saw the ambuscade and also a battalion of Federals endeavoring to get in his rear. He at once opened fire on them and withdrew in haste, losing three men wounded and one captured. The command then returned to Camp Desha, reaching there on the 16th of February. About February 19, 1862, the battalion made a winter’s march to old Camp Beauregard, destroying the rail- road from five miles south of Mayfield, Ky.,to Fulton Station. They also burned Camp Beau- regard after removing a large amount of commissary stores. (Logwood’s report, “ Reb. Records,” 7, 897.) On March 4 the battal- ion was still at Camp Desha, and was report- ed by its commander as 180 strong. March 7 the battalion burned bridges over Little Obion, also burned Camp Desha, and on the 8th of March moved to Union City, where Col. Logwood, who had received a commis- sion to raise a regiment of lancers, turned the battalion over to Maj. C. H. Hill on the same day. 24 The Seventh Tennessee Cavalry. March 15 it was ordered by Gen. Beaure- gard to March to Fort Pillow. Toward the close of the month the follow- ing companies, viz.: A, B, C, D (White’s), H, F, G, H, and I, were assembled at Union City to be organized in a regiment of Con- federate troops under Col. William H. Jack- son, late captain of artillery, who had been directed by Gen. Polk to organize a cavalry regiment out of Logwood’s Battalion and other companies of cavalry operating in that quarter. Only a temporary organization was effected at this place, Capt. Wm. H. Jackson being made colonel, and Maj. C. H. Hill, of Logwood’s battalion, major. While encamped here with the Twenty-first Tennessee Infantry, 616 strong, under Col. Ed Pickett, Jr., on garrison duty, the com- mand was attacked at sunrise of March 31, by a force from Hickman, Ky., under Col. N. B. Buford, consisting of Twenty-seventh Illinois and Fifteenth Wisconsin Infantry, three companies of cavalry, and four guns, in all 1,350 men. The attack was a surprise, the commander being unaware of the ene- my’s approach until their pickets were driven in and cannon-balls plowing their camp. The regiment was unorganized and poorly armed, The Seventh Tennessee Cavalry. 25 and the stampede was general, the infantry going over a high fence into a bottom, and the cavalry hunting the rear with celerity. If the enemy had pursued, the consequences would have been disastrous, as only a small force of infantry under Capts. Frazer and Per- sons and Lieut. Woltering remained, near the enemy under cover of the hill; while the cav- alry, finding themselves unpursued, rallied to the rear and awaited the enemy’s retreat with great patience. Not a gun was fired from our line during the affair; fourteen pris- oners, mostly pickets and stragglers, were captured by the enemy. The garrison also lost twelve wagons and teams, and their en- campment was burned by the enemy, who held possession of the town for two hours and then retired. Company D (White’s) of the regiment also lost their camp chests and records in the hurry of the retreat, and their company colors were Jeft in a hut. Company B also lost their colors. This little surprise rid the command, how- ever, of the trunk nuisance, about fifty of these unsoldier-like pieces of luggage being captured by the enemy from the regiment. “T set in to be a soldier after that,” remarked 26 The Seventh Tennessee Cavalry. Sergt. R. J. Black, of Company B, whose trunk containing various books of poems and other luxuries was taken by the remorseless Fed- erals. The surprise seems to have grown out of a contest between the two colonels present over the question of priority of rank. This beginning was most inauspicious, but their ill fortune was soon to be re- deemed by the newly fledged regiments. (“‘ Rebel. Records,” 8, p. 116.) After the Fed- erals retreated the regiment was marched to Trenton, Tenn., thirty miles, in a furious rain- storm, and remained there several days with- out baggage in a muddy camp—a most val- uable lesson. There they were thoroughly organized and fitted for service, taking the name of the First Tennessee Cavalry, by which title it was known for many months before its number, Seventh Tennessee Cavalry, was finally assigned. But in this narrative it will be known only as the Seventh Tennessee. On April 1, Gen. Beauregard sent an officer of his staff to investigate the surprise of Col. Pickett’s command at Union City, and cen- sured strongly, in a letter to Gen. Polk, the colonel for permitting it. (“ Reb. Rec.,” 10, pt. 2, p. 378.) April 5 to 10 the regiment was engaged in a scout toward Hickman, The Seventh Tennessee Cavalry. 27 Dresden, and Union City. The colonel (Jackson) commanding, on his return, ex- pressed great annoyance from the “Inde- pendent Companies” in his command, and urged their organization into one command (except Capt. Dillard’s company) for the war or discharge from the service as expensive and useless camp followers. Haywvod’s com- pany, afterward D, had not joined the reg- iment on the 10th of April, but came in and became a part of the regiment about April 15, 1862. (‘“Reb. Rec.,”’ p. 407.) April 29 the regiment was ordered by Gen. Beauregard to accompany Col. Thomas H. Claiborne in an expedition to Paducah for the purpose of capturing and destroying the immense army stores at that point, valued at $3,000,000. On May 4 the expedition set out from Mc- Kenzie, consisting of Claiborne’s Sixth Con- federate Cavalry and the Seventh Tennessee, in all 1,250 men. They reached Paris in the afternoon, and learning there that the ene- my’s forces in that quarter had gone toward Dresden, marched on in the night, which was dark and rainy, in pursuit. Learning after midnight that their contemplated descent upon Paducah was known to the enemy, the 28 The Seventh Tennessee Cavalry. commander in the morning determined to abandon the expedition to that city and to attack and destroy the force in their front under Maj. Schaefer, consisting of three com- panies of the Fifth Iowa Cavalry. Overtaking them on the 5th, about 5 P.M., at Lockridge Mill, on the south fork of the Obion River, an attack was at once made by five companies under acting field officer Capt. Ballentyne. Coming first on the pickets, these were driven back on the main force, which was at once charged near and over the bridge and stampeded—the men _ rushing headlong among the enemy, who when over- taken generally fought gallantly. The pur- suit was kept up for several miles, during which time the enemy’s battalion was al- most annihilated, their loss being six killed and sixteen wounded, including Maj. Schae- fer mortally and Capts. Hass and Minden and Lieut. Smith slightly, and four officers and sixty-seven privates and non-commissioned officers captured, out of a total of one hun- dred and thirty. Capt. Ballentyne, of Com- pany C, was greatly distinguished for his headlong gallantry in this charge, he engag- ing in several hand to hand combats, in all of which he was victor. Col. Claiborne de- The Seventh Tennessee Cavalry. 29 scribes the affair thus: “Capt. Ballentyne, of Col. Jackson’s Cavalry, was acting field officer with five companies at the head of the column. His first company (B, Seventh Ten- nessee) was deployed as mounted skirmishers, and dashed on the pickets. The pickets were astonished, and let us approach to within sev- enty yards, then fired and turned to flee. A yell, a charge blown, a picket killed, and the five companies, followed by the whole com- . mand, swept the two miles away in seven minutes or less over the enemy, who had been in vain urged, as claimed afterward by their major, to rally, ete. . . . The good conduct of Col. Jackson was as usual with him, such as to merit your highest approval, and the. good conduct of his regiment on the march and in the affair excellent.” Of the enemy, Private Hoffman showed exceptional gallantry, fighting Capt. Ballen- tyne desperately with his saber and piercing his coat several times, but was finally slain. The command captured two wagons and fif- ty-six horses and many arms and accouter- ments, and all without the loss of a man. Sergt. Black, of Company B, was slightly wounded in the hand by a saber cut. In the onset Private L. J. O’Kelly, of Company B, 30 The Seventh Tennessee Cavalry. rushed to the front, and having discharged his gun and pistol, drew saber, and, overtak- ing one of the enemy’s troopers, engaged him in personal combat. The fight was short, Private O’Kelly receiving a cut on the head, when the Federal trooper fled. His hurts were not ascertained. Private O’Kel- ly, however, remained in the combat, and soon after captured the enemy’s quartermas- _ terand brought him to head-quarters. And thus was the stain of the Union City surprise obliterated from its standard by the regi- ment. On May 12 the regiment was ordered by Gen. Beauregard to guard the line from Brownsville to Forked Deer River by Rip- ley, and report to Gen. Villepigue at Fort Pillow. On May 15 Company D, Capt. J. 8. White, was disbanded at Jackson, Tenn., the term of enlistment, twelve months, having expired. Most of the members re-enlisted in Compa- nies A and B. Company K, Capt.S. F.

June 3 the regiment was ordered to cover the evacuation of Fort Pillow and the re- The Seventh Tennessee Cavalry. 3l treat. of Gen. Villepigue’s command. This safely accomplished, the regiment moved by easy marches by way of Brownsville, Dur- hamville, Ripley, Covington, Shelby Depot, Collierville, to Coldwater, Holly Springs, Miss., Lumpkin’s Mills, and thence to Abbe- ville, on the Tallahatchie River, where they were joined by Companies I. and M.

Abbeville was thus, it seems, the birthplace of the regiment, which was still for some time known as the “First Tennessee,” and its fighting career may be said to have been inaugurated here. From this period until the close of the war it, under successive 38 The Seventh Tennessee Cavalry. commanders, preserved its orderly, compact organization, hardening rapidly into a regi- ment of veterans, whose fortitude, daring, and discipline through the succeeding bloody years of strife afford one of the brightest pages of the record of Confederate martial history. CHAPTER II, Soldiers in Earnest—Capturing a Guarded Train— Severe Fighting at Bolivar, Medon, and Britton’s Lane—A Reverse at Coldwater—The Charge at Davis’s Bridge—Battle of Corinth—The Shooting of Captain Hill—A Stampede at Old Lamar—Cov- ering the Retreat—The Fight at Coffeeville—Capt- ure of Holly Springs—Companies B and A de- tached—Death of Chaplain Crouch—The Affair at Hernando — Attack on Collierville—Escape of Gen. Sherman. In June, 1862, Col. Jackson, having com- pleted the details of the regimental organiza- tion, and perfected the regiment somewhat in the drill, company and battalion, decided to test their soldiership by a rapid descent upon the enemy’s lines of communication near La Fayette Station, Tenn. Moving from Byhalia June 24, 1862, and approaching the Memphis and Charleston railroad at this point June 25, a detachment was made of two squadrons of about twenty men each under Capts. Lawler and Tate, of Companies C and H, to reconnoiter the railroad, both east and west of La Fayette, and develop the position of the enemy’s guards. 40 The Seventh Tennessee Cavalry. Capt. Lawler’s party, finding no enemy in sight, displaced a rail in a curve and then formed near by under cover to await events. Pretty soon a train appeared and fell into the trap. But it was loaded with a detachment of Federal infantry of the Fifty-sixth Ohio Regiment under Col. Kinney, who at first were thrown into great confusion by this rude disembarkation and the fire of the lit- tle party from their cover, and fled inconti- nently toward La Fayette. But a short dis- tance away they were rallied, and observing the paucity of the command which had given them such a fright, at once assumed the of- fensive. Capt. Lawler had in the meantime notified Col. Jackson of his “find,” and that officer, bringing the regiment rapidly up on the flank of the enemy, by a vigorous attack stampeded their forces, capturing the train and fifty-six prisoners, including Col. Peter Kinney, theircommander. A few of the train guards escaped to Germantown. This suc- cess and that at Lockridge’s Mill gave the regiment a self-confidence and spirit which it retained throughout the war. (‘ Reb. Ree.,? 17, pt 1, p. 12.) A letter in the Memphis Appeal of July 7, 1862, from the regiment, places the number of The Seventh Tennessee Cavalry. 41 prisoners at 73, including Col. Peter Kinney, of Fifty-sixth Ohio, Lieut. Wellspaugh, of Twenty-ninth Illinois, 2 sergeants, 3 corpo- rals, and 66 privates of the Twentieth IIli- nois, Fifty-sixth Ohio, Third, Second, and Eleventh Iowa, Tenth Missouri, and Twenty- sixth Illinois Regiments. The command fell back to Coldwater, and Col. Kinney was pa- roled on condition that he would secure the exchange of Col. Brown, of the Confederate service, captured at Island 10. On the evening of June 30, 1862, a detach- ment of the regiment (number not given), under Maj. Duckworth, attacked a Federal wagon train and escort at Morning Sun, in Shelby County, Tenn. The train guard con- sisted of two hundred and forty men of the Fifty-seventh Ohio Infantry under Col. Will- iam Mungen, and the train contained sixty- seven wagons of the First Division, Army of Tennessee. The onset was sudden, and the train was in part stampeded, six of the wag- ons being wrecked. The detachment capt- ured thirty-one mules with harness. Neither commander gives his own losses, but each estimates the loss of his antagonist as fol- lows: Maj. Duckworth places the Federal loss at six killed and eight captured, and the 42 The Seventh Tennessee Cavalry. Federal commander charges Duckworth’s loss to be nine killed and eighteen wounded. Gen. Grant, in a dispatch relating to the af- fair, admits a loss of three wounded and nine missing. These little affairs formed the subject of a complimentary notice (Gen. Or- der No. 93) by Gen. Bragg, commanding de- partment at Tupelo, July 5, 1862. GENERAL OrpDER No. 93. Heap-quarters Dept. No. =} Tupeto, July 5, 1862. The commander of the forces has to announce to the army a well-planned and soldierly executed expe- dition within the enemy’s lines, led by Col. William H. Jackson, First Tennessee Cavalry, with a portion of his regiment, resulting in the capture of a Federal colonel and some fifty-six non-commissioned officers and privates, and the destruction of a locomotive and train of cars near La Fayette Station, Memphis and Charleston railroad, on the 25th ultimo. On the 30 ultimo another detachment under the command of Maj. Duckworth, in the same vicinity, dashed upon the enemy’s pickets and killed six and captured eight, with slight casualty to his command. These affairs are happy presages to the spirit with which this army is prepared to enter upon the im- pending campaign in emulation of the heroic deeds of our brothers in arms and in blood in Virginia. By command of Gen. Bragg: THomas JorDAN, Chief of Staff. The Seventh Tennessee Cavalry. 43 Another letter in the Appeal (published at Grenada) of July 4, 1862, asserts that this attack at Morning Sun, on June 30, was made by Faulkner’s and Porter’s companies of par- tisans. And Gen. Sherman also mentioned in a complimentary note the successful defense. of the wagon train by Col. Mungen, which, he declared, “also inspired the men with more confidence when acting against the dreaded cav- alry.” (‘‘ Reb. Rec.,” xvii., pt. 1, 10-12, 14-17.) So it seems that under the cool soldiership of Col. Jackson the regiment was already dreaded by the powerful enemy. After these affairs the regiment retired to Senatobia and encamped, and went thence to Hernando, Byhalia, and Abbeville. On July 25 part of the regiment was as- sembled at Holly Springs under Col. Joseph Wheeler, who had superseded Gen. Chalmers, _ and started on a raid to West Tennessee, the entire party numbering about 1,000 men, about 500 of whom belonged to the Seventh Regiment. The regiment marched to Grand Junction, which place was taken and some stores de- stroyed, but when about ten miles from Bol- ivar it was detached from the raiding party, 44 The Seventh Tennessee Cavalry. and sent back southward by order of Gen. Villepigue, at Holly Springs. (‘Reb. Rec.,” xvil., pt. 1, p. 43.) At the close of August, 1862, Col. Jackson was ordered by Gen. Van Dorn to accompany Gen. F. C. Armstrong, commanding a bri- gade composed of the Second Missouri, Sec- ond Arkansas, Second Tennessee, and Wirt Adams’s Mississippi Cavalry, in all 1,600 men, in a raid on the enemy’s communication along the line of the Mississippi Central railroad. Joining Gen. Armstrong at Holly Springs, Col. Jackson with his brigade (Seventh Ten- nessee and First Mississippi), 1,100 strong, moved rapidly by way of Grand Junction to Bolivar, in the vicinity of which place and five miles from Bolivar, on the Van Buren road, the command encountered the enemy on the morning of August 30, and a sharp fight ensued. The enemy, under Col. M. D. Leggett, consisted of the Twentieth and Sev- enty-eighth Ohio Infantry, four companies of the Second Illinois, and two companies of the Eleventh Ilinois Cavalry, and a section of artillery (two guns) of the Ninth Indiana Battery. The Confederate command was 2,600 strong, less detachments, and was com- posed of Armstrong’s Brigade, 1,600 men, The Seventh Tennessee Cavalry. 45 and Jackson’s Brigade of 1,100 men. The fighting began early in the morning. Col. Jackson’s command advanced in front of Gen. Armstrong’s Division on the Van Bu- ren road. The enemy opened at long range, killing some horses. The van-guard pushed rapidly forward, and soon after Gen. Arm- strong moved with the greater part of his command over to the Middleburg road, on which the enemy seemed to be concentrating, leaving Col. Jackson to guard the Van Buren road, and watch the enemy in that quarter. Col. McCulloch, of the Second Missouri, led a fierce charge on the enemy in front of Mid- dleburg, driving them back, and killing Lieut.-Col. Hogg, of the Second L[linois, but lost the famous Capt. J. R. Champion in the charge. Pressing up with both commands from all sides, the enemy yielded, and fell back rapidly to Bolivar. The enemy lost 5 killed, 18 wounded, and 71 prisoners. Boli- var being strongly fortified and garrisoned, the command moved around it, and next day attacked the detachments guarding the rail- road between Bolivar and Medon, skirmished at Toone’s Station, destroyed the bridge and one mile of trestle, and captured 40 prison- ers. Appearing in front of Medon, the place 46 The Seventh Tennessee Cavalry. was found to be fortified and barricaded with cotton-bales, and guarded by four companies of the Forty-sixth Illinois Infantry, which were at once re-enforced by six companies of the Seventh Missouri Infantry. The place being too strong for capture, the command, after some fighting and consider- able loss to the Seventh Tennessee, moved toward Denmark, and on next day, Septem- ber 1, about 10 a.m., encountered Col. Den- nis’s command at Britton’s Lane, the juncture of the Denmark and Medon roads. Col. Dennis’s command consisted of the Twentieth and Thirtieth Illinois Infantry Regiments, two companies of cavalry, and two pieces of artillery. The fight was of the most desperate character, the enemy having the advantage of a chosen position in a grove on a ridge, surrounded by open corn-fields, and backed by broken grounds. The regi- ment made a furious charge mounted, getting within. thirty feet of the enemy’s lines. James Dillihunty, of Company B, among others, was killed in this charge. After four hours’ fighting, both sides tacitly agreed to quit. The Confederates captured the enemy’s wagon train, a portion of which was destroyed, two pieces of artillery, and two hundred The Seventh Tennessee Cavalry. 47 and thirteen prisoners. The enemy lost five killed and fifty-five wounded, but recaptured their artillery. (‘‘Reb. Rec.,” xvii., 1, p. 50, etc.) As above stated, the Confederate losses are not given in their engagements separately, but aggregated 115 all told during the entire raid. The command recrossed the Hatchie River on the morning of September 2, and moved southward to Somerville on the next day, un- pursued. In this series of engagements the command was in the saddle for more than for- ty-eight consecutive hours, mostly without food, and fought three pitched battles with as many different commands of the enemy, and came away unmolested with their captured property and prisoners. The latter were pa- roled after crossing Hatchie River on Septem- ber 2. The commands then separated; Gen. Arm- strong’s Brigade joining Gen. Price in Kastern Mississippi, and Col. Jackson’s Brigade rejoin- ing Gen. Van Dorn in North Mississippi near Holly Springs. On September 8, 1862, Col. Jackson sent a detachment of four companies, including Company A, Seventh Tennessee, and three companies of the First Mississippi un- ! 48 The Seventh Tennessee Cavalry. der Lieut.-Col. Montgomery, toward Hernando. Returning on Tuesday the 9th, they met the Federals near Byhalia, 370 strong, under Col. Grierson. Lieut.-Col. Montgomery’s advance guards were not well out, and the Federals charged his battalion while he was trying to form them, and drove them back in some dis- order across the bridge over Coldwater, which they burned. Our loss was two killed and five wounded, including Private Tom Harris, killed with saber, and Privates Rod Clarkson, W. J. Bynum, and R. E. Cayce, of Company A, se- verely, and Private Wilburn, of the same com- pany, mortally wounded. After the Federals. retreated, Lieut.-Col. Montgomery, who had rallied his men, re-occupied the ground. The Federal loss was reported as one killed and four wounded and seven horses. After rejoin- ing Gen. Van Dorn, the regiment moved with that commander northward, being again in the vicinity of Bolivar on September 20, and re- turning thence south-eastward at sundown on the 25th, surprised and almost annihilated a. force of 290 of the enemy’s cavalry at Davis’s Bridge, eight miles west of Chewalla. The en- emy consisted of 200 of the Eleventh Illinois and 90 men of the Fifteenth Michigan, all un- der Lieut.-Col. McDermott, of the last-named The Seventh Tennessee Cavalry. 49 regiment. Pinson led the charge at the bridge and into their camp, being seriously wounded in the onset. The Seventh Tennessee, under Lieut.-Col. Stocks, followed into the midst of the fight, and the rout was complete. The en- emy for the most part were in a field cutting corn when the attack was made, and scattered and got away the best they could. The enemy lost 140 men killed, wounded, and captured, including 63 prisoners. The loss of the Seventh was nothing at all. (Reb. Rec.,” 17, pt. 1, p. 148, 144.) This was one of the most brilliant affairs of the year. The regiment was then marched to Ripley, where, on the 27th of September, Price and Van Dorn effected a junction and moved north-eastwardly to attack Corinth. On the first of October the regiment was at Pocahon- tas, and turning sharply eastward was again at Davis’s Bridge on the same day, and on the 2d of October drove in the enemy’s pickets at Chewalla, losing Private John Young, of Com- pany A, killed, and encamped in front of the enemy that night, a few miles from Corinth. Next day, October 3, the regiment marched to Corinth, and the battle began. Companies G and H were detached and acted as an advance guard to Gen. Price’s 4 50 The Seventh Tennessee Cavalry. Division, and the remainder of the brigade moved en echelon on Gen. Lovell’s right, south of the Memphis and Charleston railroad. Night stopped the combat, and on the next day the brigade again moved forward in line, its left resting on the Memphis and Charleston railroad. Coil. Jackson, with eight companies, during this day’s battle made a reconnaissance to the southward of Corinth, driving off a force of the enemy’s cavalry in that quar- ter. Later in the day the brigade was advanced to the fortifications on College Hill, where it maintained a hot combat after the army had withdrawn, after which it slowly withdrew and covered the rear of the retreating army. Com- panies G and H, still with Gen. Price, built the bridge over the Hatchie at Crum’s Mills, across which the defeated army effected its escape from the converging armies of Ord and Rosecrans, in the direction of Davis’s Bridge. On the 5th these two companies, marching in the rear of Gen. Bowen’s Brigade, confronted and vigorously repulsed, with the Mississippi battalion, a charge in force of the enemy's cay- alry on the rear of that brigade, which was the extreme rear guard of the army. (Bow- en’s report, ‘“ Reb. Ree.,” 17, pt. 1, p. 413.) The Seventh Tennessee Cavalry. 51 The regiment was now ordered to Rienzi, and marched to Kossuth, returning thence to the vicinity of Pocahontas, one and a half miles from which place on the Ripley road it engaged the enemy ina hot skirmish, thereby aiding to save the army trains which had been parked between the Tuscumbia and Hatchie Rivers. Bivouacking here that night, on next day the brigade covered the rear of the army, fighting all the way to Ripley. The last three days of this movement the regiment was with- out rations, and had to subsist the best they could on the country. The colonel command- ing, in his report, complimented specially Lieut. H. W. Watkins, of Company A, and Corporal Brocchus and Privates Britton and Barton, of Company C, for gallantry and effi- ciency in the field. (Jackson’s report, “ Reb. Rec.,” 17, pt. 1, p. 384.) On September 30, 1862, occurred one of those instances of brutality which were rarely seen in either army, to their honor be it said, but were too frequently exhibited in certain Federal commands in West Tennessee and North Mississippi in 1862-63, and which were the legitimate outgrowth of the unconcealed sentiment of a few Federal officers of high rank in those districts, whose expressed opin- 52 The Seventh Tennessee Cavalry. ion was that the war should be made one of extermination. Happily, better counsels or a stronger will prevailed, and so was averted a state of war that, pushed to its conclusion as desired by those inhuman officers, would have horrified the. earth by scenes of blood une- qualed in modern warfare. It would have converted the splendid and brave Federal army into a horde of butchers and made of every Southern man and boy a wild beast of prey, lying in wait for their enemy and slay- ing him pitilesslv whenever found. Whether we are indebted for escape from this unnat- ural state of warfare to the soldierly manli- ness of Grant or the kindly heart of Lincoln, history has not yet disclosed. The incident referred to, and which is only narrated here because relating to the Seventh Tennes- see regimental history, was the capture and shooting of Capt. Lafayette Hill, of Company I, and is thus described by the Federal com- inander, Col. F. A. Starling, of the Seventy- second [llinois, in whose command it oc- curred. “T have also to mention an unfortunate oc- currence where the man Rose was arrested as reported to me by Capt. De Golyer. A Capt. Hill, of Jackson’s rebel cavalry, was at the The Seventh Tennessee Cavalry. 53 place on sick leave. He at first attempted to escape. Finding it impossible, he surren- dered himself to Capt. De Golyer, and while talking with him, one of Capt. Moore’s men, Private Gottlieb Lippold, came up in an ex- cited manner, and said to Capt. Hill, ‘Point your pistol at me, damn you,’ and fired; the ball entering the thigh, making a serious flesh wound. Capt. Moore, when he came up, said his man had done right: ‘He ought to have shot him through the head.’ I reprimanded Capt. Moore. He seemed to think his man was right. I mention the fact that the matter, if necessary, can be thoroughly investigated.” (Col. F. A. Starling’s report, ‘Reb. Rece.,” 17, pt. 1, p. 148.) No action was taken to avenge this treat- ment of one of its officers by the Seventh Reg- iment. On November 8, 1862, the advance of the enemy under Gen. McPherson was encoun- tered by the First Mississippi Brigade and Seventh Tennessee under Lieut.-Col. Mont- gomery at Old Lamar, Miss., about seven miles south of LaGrange. The enemy’s force consisted of two divisions of infantry and 1,200 calvary (Seventh Kansas, Second Illi- nois, and Third Michigan), the latter under 54 The Seventh Tennessee Cavalry. Col. A. L. Lee. The enemy attacked with Johnson’s Brigade of Infantry, and while Jackson’s Brigade was stoutly resisting this attack, with their left flank well guarded, the enemy’s cavalry discovered an unguarded point on the right, and threw their cavalry around to our rear. Discovering their pres- ence, the command retreated, but not know- ing the exact position of the enemy, ran into them, and supposing themselves surrounded, were thrown into great confusion. The flight and panic was general, and not at all credita- ble, the men falling over some wounded horses in the road, and into the deep ditches pell-mell. The following members of the regiment were captured, all wounded or bruised from falling over the dead horses and into the ditches in the stampede: L. W. Taliaferro, Company D; C. C. Clay, Company F; L. B. Claiborne, Company D; J. A. Ross, Company H; Second Lieut. J. A. Jenkins, Company H; J. M. Meek, Company H; First Lieut. W. R. Jones, Company H; J. W. Flanagan, Company I; N.

Alexander, Com- The Seventh Tennessee Cavalry. 55 pany I; G. W. Walton, Company I; C. J. Fisher, Company I; J. P. Overall, Company I; also Lieut. I. N. Stinson and Privates W. H. Strange and John Smith, of Company B; also Lieut. W. B. Winston, of Company C, who gave the correspondent, “Mack,” of the Cincinnati Commercial, some tart opinions about the emancipation proclamation and other mat- ters relating to the Federal conduct of the war. Private L. B. Claiborne, one of the wounded of Company D, died in the Federal hospital at La Grange on November 11, 1862, attended by his faithful colored boy, who was captured with him. A number of the First Mississippi Cavalry were wounded and captured at the saine place. The captured men were at once paroled and started to Vicksburg for exchange. The regiment was encamped now for awhile at Chulahoma, and skirmished near Holly Springs November 12, 1862. On November 22 the regiment was en- camped ten miles south of Holly Springs and engaged in outpost duty, the advance of Grant’s immense army of invasion being at that time between La Grange and Davis’s Mills. The weather was very cold. November 28, 1862, the enemy advanced, 56 The Seventh Tennessee Cavalry. driving the pickets out of Holly Springs, and on the 29th attacked Jackson at Waterford, where he fought them with part of his com- mandandtwoguns. On the 29th and 30th the regiment fell back slowly, fighting at inter- vals; part of the regiment, including Compa- ny B, having a skirmish at Chulahoma on the 30th, retreated thence by way of Toby Tubby ferry, and Sunday night marched through torrents of rain to Oxford. Grif- fith’s and McCulloch’s Brigades had been de- tached, and only Jackson’s old brigade, First Mississippi and Seventh Tennessee, remained at the front on this road. Tuesday, Decem- ber 2, in the morning, the regiment moved out seven miles north of Oxford and had a sharp fight, and retiring, the enemy appeared and attacked the outposts in front of Oxford. Adjutant Joe Wicks, of the Seventh, was killed while engaged with Col. Ballentyne about noon north of town on the Wyatt road. When the Federals entered the town, about 4:30 o'clock in the afternoon, Col. Jackson endeavored to lead to the charge a regiment of infantry which were formed in the public square; but the men, - being drunk, would not follow. By night the command had all left Oxford, and the cavalry under Jackson picketed the hills to the south, The Seventh Tennessee Cavalry. 57 and next day, December 3, crossed Yocona River. A powerful force of the enemy, consisting of nine regiments of cavalry with artillery, under Col. T. L. Dickey followed the retreating army, marching toward Water Valley and ‘Coffeeville. On December 4a heavy skirmish was had with this command at Springdale Bridge, which had attempted to cut off the re- treat of the cavalry rear-guard, the enemy be- ing repulsed. On December 5 the enemy ap- peared in front of Coffeeville with the brigades of Lee, Hatch, and Mizner, about four thousand strong, and were at once assailed by Gen. Tighlman’s division of infantry, one thousand three hundred strong, supported by Col. Jack- son’s Seventh Regiment, seven hundred strong, under Capt. McCutchen, and though fighting gallantly, were driven back three miles. The fighting was very severe, the regiment losing several men. Among the wounded were Pri- vates J. B. Mills and John F. McCallum, of Company A, the last named, a boy of fifteen years, being permanently disabled. The Con- federate loss was 7 killed, 43 wounded, and 10 missing. The enemy’s loss was 10 killed, 63 wounded, and 41 captured. -The enemy re- treated in haste to Oxford. Part of Company 58 The Seventh Tennessee Cavalry. K was consolidated with Company B at Cof- feeville December 12, 1862. About the 15th of December Gen. Van Durn concentrated about twenty-five hundred men, including the Seventh Tennessee, at Grenada, and moved north-eastward December 16 with great speed toward Pontotoc, reaching that place on the 18th, or as Gen. Grant expressed it, ‘Trav- eled as fast as the scouts who brought the news.” Passing unawares by a large force in that quarter under Col. Dickey, who consid- ered himself fortunate to escape unobserved, the command on the 20th, about sunrise, charged headlong into Holly Springs. The enemy were taken completely by. sur- prise. The town contained a garrison consist- ing of parts of the Twentieth and Sixty-second Illinois Infantry and the Second Illinois Cav- alry and some sick in hospital, commanded by Col. R. C. Murphy, of the Eighth Wisconsin Infantry, in all nearly two thousand men, of which one thousand four hundred and forty- nine were captured, including their command- er, Col. Murphy. The enemy, especially the cavalry, made some resistance, but were soon overcome and for the most part captured. The town contained vast army stores, amounting to $1,500,000, all of The Seventh Tennessee Cavalry. 59 which was destroyed. This brilliant achieve- ment of Gen. Van Dorn in moving around an army of 70,000 men, and through a cavalry force of double his numbers to the line of the enemy’s communication in his rear at Holly Springs and capturing and destroying his de- pot of supplies, was one of the notable cavalry affairs of the war, and caused Gen. Grant to report to Gen. Halleck December 25, 1862: “It is perfectly impracticable to go farther South by this route, depending on the road for supplies, and the country does not af- ford them.” (“Reb. Ree.” 17, pt. 1, p. 478.) The result was an immediate retreat of the whole Federal army, January 8, from North Mississippi, and Corinth was in some meas- ure redeemed. The regiment bore its full share in this movement, and won additional distinction for courage and devotion. Next day, or December 21, the command attacked the intrenched position of the enemy at the crossing of Wolf River or Davis's Mills. The enemy, consisting of detachments of the Twenty-fifth Indiana and Fifth Ohio Regiments and one company of cavalry, had fortified the mill, converting it into a block-house by means of cross-ties and cotton-bales, and also 60 The Seventh Tennessee Cavalry. erected strong earth-works, the two intrench- ments covering and enfilading the bridge, from which the block-house was distant only seven- ty yards. The place was impregnable with- out artillery, of which the regiment had none; but the assault was made at 12 o'clock noon, with great vigor and dismounted. Twice the bridge was charged, and once a few of the men got across and found shelter under the struct- ure; but the intrenchments were too strong to be taken, and the regiment lost considerably in their desperate attempts to effect their capt- ure. The fighting was all done in an open field with an enemy entirely concealed and sheltered, and after about three hours’ combat the regiment reluctantly withdrew, taking off sixteen prisoners whom they had captured in the vicinity. The enemy’s commander, Col. William H. Morgan, of the Twenty-fifth In- diana, recklessly claimed that the attacking force was a command six thousand strong, and that they left 22 dead, 30 wounded, and 20 prisoners in his hands, and left 30 men wound- ed in a house near by. Withdrawing from before this hornets’ nest, the regiment went forward and was engaged in the combats of Bolivar on the 23d and 24th of December, which place, intrenched and de- The Seventh Tennessee Cavalry. 61 fended by three regiments of infantry and three regiments of cavalry, was found to be tvo strong for capture, and the command with- drew. A regiment of Texans under Col. Grif- fith attacked the block-house at Middleburg on the 24th, but were unsuccessful. Finding the enemy concentrating from every direction to affect its capture, the command withdrew by way of Ripley, New Albany, and Pontotoc to Grenada, followed to the vicinity of Ponto- toc by the enemy in great force under Col. Grierson, with whom there was much unprof- itable skirmishing about Ripley, with slight loss. 1863. Early in the beginning of 1863 many changes took place in the structure of the regiment. Col. Jackson was promoted to brigadier-gen- eral, and assigned to a command under Van Dorn in Middle Tennessee, taking with him as an escort Company A, under Capt. W. F. Tay- lor. Lieut.-Col. Stocks was made colonel, but soon resigned on account of ill health, and until fall the regiment had but a single field officer. Maj. W. L. Duckworth became lieu- tenant-colonel. Company B was detailed for special service with Gen. Loring. After Com- 62 The Seventh Tennessee Cavalry. pany B was detached and ordered to report to Maj.-Gen. Loring at Canton for special duty, it was ordered to move to and go into camp on the Yazoo City road, where it performed outpost and courier duty for some time. It was then engaged in collecting laborers to work on the fortifications at Yazoo City, Fort Pemberton, and other places along the Yazoo River, They then rejoined Gen. Loring, and served on special duty with his army. They were engaged in all the operations looking to the relief of Vicksburg, in the early summer of 1863, and in the siege of Jackson which fol- lowed, and the retreat from Jackson to Merid- ian, returning with Gen. Loring to Canton in the early winter, where they resumed quar- ters, doing special duty until February, 1864, when they were ordered to report back to the regiment at Grenada, and rejoined the regi- ment on February 8. Company C, under Capt. Lawler, was sent to the vicinity of Memphis, to observe the movements of the enemy and protect Maj. Simmons, who was collecting supplies in that quarter, where they had concentrated an im- mense army preparatory to the descent upon Vicksburg. The remainder of the regiment was marched to Fort Pemberton, thence to The Seventh Tennessee Cavalry. 63 Greenwood, Miss., March 23, 1863, at the junction of the Tallahatchie and Yazoo Rivers, to operate in conjunction with the command of Gen. Loring, who was disputing the pas- sage of Gen. Grant’s army through the Yazoo Pass. Here, in the muddy bottoms and swamps of the Mississippi, they did much hard service, and suffered great exposure. Jan- uary 24, 1863, E. H. Munford, of Company I, died of typhoid fever, near Charleston, Miss. ; and in February, 1863, A. J. Foster died in the hospital at Grenada. On March 27 Pri- vate Robinson was accidently killed while tur- key hunting. In March the regiment was ordered back to Panola, in North Mississippi, and was, with Col. Slemmon’s Second Arkansas and Col. McCulioch’s First Missouri Regiments, consti- tuted a Brigade of Cavalry, under Gen. James R. Chalmers, who was appointed Chief of Cav- alry in North Mississippi. March 4 Compa- ny A was engaged in the series of conflicts at Franklin and Spring Hill, Tenn., which result- ed in the capture, by Van Dorn’s command, of Col. Coburn’s large force of Federals, in that vicinity. On March 31 Company A, together with one company, Armstrong’s escort of the Twenty-eighth Mississippi, made one of those 64 The Seventh Tennessee Cavalry. furious charges into the town of Franklin which were characteristic of the Confederate troopers in the West, losing several men—viz., Private Ed Starnes, killed, and Privates T. W. Armstrong, J. M. Riviere, Joe Kendrick, and J. L. Pruden, wounded. This charge was so daring as to attract uni- versal attention, and evoked from Gen. Jack- son the following mention, viz.: GENERAL ORDER No. 10. Near Spring Hix, Tenn., April 10, 1863. High mention is due, also, to my escort, Capt. W. H. [F.] Taylor commanding, for the fearless manner in which, on the 3lst of March and to-day, they charged superior forces, with great success. W. H. Jackson, General Cominanding. The last-named was a counter charge by the company on a charging battalion of Fed- erals at Bird’s house, near Thompson’s Sta- tion. On March 5, 1863, Chaplain Ben F. Crouch, of the Seventh Regiment, was killed while fearlessly exposing himself on staff duty at Spring Hill. The story, in some way, got abroad that this accomplished minister and sturdy soldier, in the excitement of the battle, threw off his clerical dignity, and ‘swore like a trooper.” It is pleasant to note that Gen. The Seventh Tennessee Cavalry. 65 W. H. Jackson, in a letter to the Memphis Appeal (then published at Jackson, Miss.) of May 14, 1863, authoritatively denied this cruel slander, declaring that Rev. Mr. Crouch was near him all day, and that no such thing oc- curred. During April and May, 1863, the command was, under Gen. Chalmers, engaged in guard- ing the disputed frontier of North Mississippi, and observing the movements of the enemy, and skirmished with them near Senatobia, May 18, without loss. In June, Gen. Chal- mers marched with part of his command, four companies of Seventh Tennessee, four compa- nies Second Arkansas, two companies of Faulk- ner’s, and three guns, on an expedition to the Mississippi River about fifty miles below Mem- phis, where he was for some time engaged in shelling the river transports with some small smooth-bore guns. The enemy, learning of his contemplated movement, sent out a picked command from Memphis, consisting of 320 men from First Missouri, Second Illinois, and Fifth Ohio Regiments, under Maj. John Henry, to in- tercept him. This command was encountered by Gen. Chalmers June 19, 1863, about four miles south-west of Hernando, at Atkin’s farm, and at once attacked, just after daylight. The 5 66 The Seventh Tennessee Cavalry. Seventh Regiment was drawn up on.a bill and the enemy on another opposite, with a ravine or depression between. Firing rapidly, the regi- ment, under Col. Stocks, charged, mounted, down this hill and up the next, the immedi- ate enemy—namely, the First Missouri—giv- ing away and scampering to the rear in hot haste. The enemy’s force, being assailed on all sides by Chalmers, was almost annihilated, the command taking eighty-eight prisoners, in- cluding the major and a lieutenant. The en- emy’s loss has been estimated as high as twenty or thirty killed and wounded. The Con- federate loss was one killed and ten wound- ed, including Lieut. R. J. Black, of Company B, shot through the thigh in the charge down the hill, and Adjt. W. S. Pope and Capt. W. J. Tate, of Company E, wounded. The enemy were pursued fifteen miles on the road toward Memphis, and seemed to throw away nearly all the guns they had, so profuse was the quan- tity scattered on the field and by the way-side. During the contest Capt. Lawler, with Com- pany C, was marching rapidly to overtake the regiment, and unexpectedly encountered Gen. Wisener’s Federal command of more than 1,000 men, which was just preparing to pounce upon the wagon train of Gen. Chalmers, near the The Seventh Tennessee Cavalry. 67 Coldwater River. Dispatching notice to the commander of the wagon train as to his peril, Capt. Lawler placed his company in ambush at Matthews's Ferry over the Coldwater, and awaited theenemy. They came winding down | the high, steep bluff, unaware of danger, and intent on their prey, the wagon train. When the company opened fire there was an imme- diate stampede back over the bluff by the en emy, who suffered considerable loss. Then followed elaborate preparations by the power- ful enemy for crossing the stream, which de- layed them for several hours. Moving then across the stream, they were confronted by the little company, numbering less than thirty men, in open skirmish order, who took every advantage afforded by the timber and morasses in the bottom for obstructing the enemy’s ad- vance, to such an extent that the train, by tremendous exertion, was enabled to effect its escape to the main body of the command. After their return from this expedition, which was without further result, the regiment was engaged the remainder of the summer in drill- ing and scouting to various places in North Mis- sissippi and West Tennessee. Early in Octo- ber Gen. Chalmers led his brigade on an expe- dition to the enemy’s lines at Collierville, Tenn. 68 The Seventh Tennessee Cavalry. October 5 the regiment moved into and oc- cupied Holly Springs. It was commanded on this and the succeeding operations by Lieut.- Col. Duckworth up to the affair at Collierville. (See his report of October 20, 1862; also Chal- mers’s report of same date.) _ It was then ordered to Coldwater, and to assault the enemy at Lockhart’s Mills on Oc- tober 6. While Company C skirmished with them, the Eighteenth Mississippi was ordered to cross above the mills and get in the enemy’s rear, while the Seventh Tennessee and Third Mississippi, with the artillery, assaulted in front. But the artillery commander was too eager, and fired off one of his guns premature- ly, which caused a premature attack by the Eighteenth Mississippi; and the enemy, though in large force, escaped before the regiment got in range. The enemy was encountered October 8 at Sa- lem, anda hot fight ensued. The Seventh Regi- ment was in reserve in the rear of the Hight- eenth Mississippi until late in the action, when it was ordered to support the Second Mis- souri and Highteenth Mississippi, which were being pressed back in the center. Arriving there and dismounting, the regiment charged vehemently on the enemy in front, driving The Seventh Tennessee Cavalry. 69 them headlong from the field, and pursuing about two miles, until stopped by darkness. In this affair the command lost 1 killed and 27 wounded. Moving thence to Collierville on the morning of the 11th of October, the com- mand surprised the enemy’s post at that point about 9 o’clock a.m. A train had just arrived from Memphis, bringing Gen. Sherman and staff, and was endeavoring to move off. But failing, that wily warrior, retiring quietly to the depot building with the force at his dis- posal, which altogether consisted of the Sixty- sixth Indiana, and detachments of the Sixth and Seventh Illinois Cavalry and Thirteenth United States Regular Infantry, barricaded it, and together with the strong fort a short dis- tance to the northward, made a desperate re- sistance to the assault of the eager Confeder- ates, until Gen. Corse’s Division of Infantry, then on the march from Memphis, hearing the firing, came rapidly up and brought the com- bat to an end. Lieut.-Col. Duckworth here commanded a demi-brigade, composed of the Seventh Tennessee and Second Missouri. The Seventh was commanded by Capt. John T. Law- ler, and the Second Missouri by Lieut.-Col. McCulloch. Lieut.-Col. Duckworth, receiv- ing orders to attack from the west, dispatched 70 The Seventh Tennessee Cavalry. Lieut.-Col. McCulloch with the small detach- ment of his regiment on hand to the north side of the railroad, while the Seventh Regiment moved on the enemy’s rifle-pits between Me- Culloch’s and Neely’s Regiments. Thecharge being ordered, the two regiments moved for- ward in a run, and with loud cheers drove the enemy out of his rifle-pits and into the fort and depot, and took possession of the trains standing at the depot. Finding they could go no farther without assistance, Lieut.-Col. Duckworth ordered them back from under fire. But receiving orders to burn the train, the charge was again ordered, and the regiment sprung forward and recaptured the train and burned two cars, using the shirts of Gen. Sher- man and his staff for kindling the fire. (Sher- man’s report.) The other cars could not be fired for want of combustibles. Having ac- complished this object right under the walls of the depot, which had been loop-holed and fortified, the regiment withdrew, as it was ev- ident the fort was too strong for capture. In the first charge, Capt. John T. Lawler, in com- mand of the regiment, was: shot four times; when Capt. Alexander Duckworth, of Compa- ny L, took command. But he was quickly shot also, and the command of the regiment The Seventh Tennessee Cavalry. 71 devolved on Lieut. H. J. Livingston, of Com- pany D, who greatly distinguished himself in leading the second charge and by his skillful handling of his new command on the subse- quent retreat. Lieut.-Col. Duckworth also speaks in his report in the highest terms of praise of Lieuts. J. P. Statler and P. A. Fish- er, of Companies E and I, “for conspicuous bravery, being always foremost in the charge and first to reach the post of danger.” The Confederates, being unaware that the famous Federal commander was concealed in the depot building, turned their artillery main- ly upon the fort, thus enabling him to escape, as they could easily have blown the little de- pot into the air. The regiment was in the forefront of this terrific fight, and suffered con- siderable loss. The enemy’s infantry, being perfectly sheltered behind strong works, used their long Springfield rifles with deadly effect. The brigade lost 3 killed and 48 wounded, the regiment losing 2 killed and 13 wounded. The command captured 135 prisoners in this com- bat. Gen. Chalmers was wounded in one of the charges, Col. Richardson taking command of the division. The command being hotly pursued as it re- tired, the Seventh Regiment was placed in the 72 The Seventh Tennessee Cavalry. rear, and under the skillful direction of Lieut. H. J. Livingston, of Company D, the then sen- ior officer left, made successful resistance to all the assaults of the eneiny on the rear-guard all the way from Ingram’s Mills to the Talla- hatchie River at Wyatt, where the enemy were finally repulsed and retired. Neither Com- panies A, B, nor G were in this fight; the first being still on duty with Gen. Jackson in Cen- tral Mississippi; and the latter, under Capt. F. F. Aden, being in West Tennessee recruit- ing. Company B, during the time, was in West Tennessee with Gen. Tyree H. Bell recruiting. (MSS. notes of Capt. Aden.) On November 3 the command was again in the vicinity of Collierville, Tenn., and had some hot skirmishing there, and on the next day, November 4, attacked the Federal force at Moscow under Col. Hatch. The fighting here was quite severe and attended with con- siderable loss on both sides. On the same day Companies C and D, under Capt. L. W. Taliaferro, of the last-named company, being detached, assailed the Federal block-house at Grissom’s Creek, near La Fayette Station, sur- prising the enemy completely, whom they found outside the works playing cards. That intrep- id commander charged with his two compa- The Seventh Tennessee Cavalry. 73 nies, mounted, right into the midst of them, and springing from their horses, entered the block-house together with the garrison, and compelled the surrender of the whole Federal force, amounting toone company. The enemy in this day’s combat lost 3 killed, 4 wounded, and 41 missing. About October 1, 1863, Capt. C. C. Clay, of Company F, was made major, and Maj. Duck- worth, having previously become lieutenant- colonel by seniority, on November 10, 1863, was commissioned colonel of the regiment. The regiment, after the affair at Moscow, had but little to do until Forrest commenced his first raid into West Tennessee, on which occasion it was thrown forward, December 3, across the Tallahatchie to assist in giving a gvod start to the movement; and again on De- cember 28, when it marched northward from Como to cover Gen. Forrest’s return from the raid, meeting him somewhat north of that place and returning thence to camp, December 31, 1863, just in time to get shelter from the coldest weather that had been experienced within man’s memory in that latitude. The men suffered terribly, however, before they finally found shelter from the piercing cold. CHAPTER III. Under Gen.

AFTER some preliminary preparations, Gen. Forrest issued General Order No. 1, at Como, Miss., constituting the new provisional organ- ization of cavalry in Forrest’s Cavalry Depart- ment, embracing West Tennessee and North Mississippi. By General Order No. 3 of same date the Seventh Tennessee was embraced in the Fourth Brigade, Col. Jeffrey E. Forrest, which, with the Second Brigade, Col. McCul- loch, constituted Chalmers’s Division. Inthe Fourth Brigade were McDonald’s Battalion, Seventh Tennessee, and Third, Fifth, and Nineteenth Mississippi Regiments. Abvut CAPT JOHN T LAWLER.

J. E. Forrest to observe a movement of Federals up the Ya- zoo River. About the 13th of February Col. Forrest, with this force, was ordered to move rapidly eastward to West Point, and marched that day and night in a heavy rain-storm. Proceeding on this march, the command was overtaken about the 18th of Feb- ruary by Gen. Forrest in the vicinity of Starks- ville, Miss., and thrown through West Point and north-eastward toward Aberdeen, to get in advance and check a formidable movement of the enemy under Gens. W. S. Smith and Grierson from Memphis and other points on the Memphis and Charleston railroad, whose objective point was the fertile prairie region, the vicinity of which they had now reached. ‘Meeting the enemy February 19, between Aberdeen and Egypt Station, the regiment skirmished lightly as they were slowly pressed back toward West Point. At one point the enemy, while pressing up hotly in front, sent a large force on the flank to endeavor to get in the rear of the brigade. This movement 76 The Seventh Tennessee Cavalry. was almost successful, and when discovered by the regiment they fell back rapidly, running the gantlet of a brigade formation of the ene- my on the roadside. In this race, L. H. Poin- dexter, of Company B, had his horse shot and was captured by the enemy, singularly enough our only loss. The brigade, being overtaken by Gen. Forrest several miles north of West Point, was retired across the Sookatoncha Bridge, four miles west of West Point. Here the enemy were held in check until the next morning, when after severe fighting, about noon the enemy began to retire and was at once followed by Gen. Forrest with a force of two brigades, including the Seventh Tennessee. Four miles north of West Point they encount- ered the enemy formed in some post oak tim- ber at the edge of the prairie in the mouth of a lane and across a narrow causeway and bridge. After sharp fighting at close quarters, the enemy were driven back to their main line in the woods. The men, being now dismounted, attacked vigorously a force perhaps four times their numbers, and forced them back to a posi- tion behind a strong picket fence in the prairie a half-mile long. The men of the com- mand. were almost frenzied now because of the The Seventh Tennessee Cavalry. 17 burning by the Federal forces of hundreds of dwelling-houses, and the turning of the helpless inhabitants out unsheltered into the cold, win- tery air, and fought with a desperation rarely assumed by them at any other time in the war. Besides, this was their first fighting under their new commander, Forrest, and his imme- diate presence seemed to inspire every one with his terrible energy, which was more like that of a piece of powerful steam machinery than of ahuman being. Being assailed in the rear by a regiment, the enemy gave way, and ‘the brigade charging and gaining the fence, opened fire behind it hotly on the rear of the retreating enemy. Remounting, the pursuit was now as vigorous as the prairie mud would permit, and the men were ofteu in sharp col- lision with the Federal troopers, who fought with unwonted gallantry. After night-fall the brigade bivouacked in the abandoned camp of the enemy, where they found much forage and subsistence, and the camp-fires were especially erateful. Reveille at 4 o’clock a.m. on the 22d, and before dawn the regiment, under Col. Duck- worth, was in the saddle and pressing the pur- suit toward Okolona, now fourteen miles ahead. The brigade was ordered by Gen. Forrest to 78 The Seventh Tennessee Cavalry. take a left-hand road about nine miles from Okolona so as to reach the Pontotoc road in the rear of the Federals and intercept their retreat in-that direction. Unable from the heavy road and the rapid retreat of the enemy to get in their rear, the brigade came upon thein five miles from Okolona, strongly posted upon a high ridge covered with scrub oak and brush- wood. The whole command, Bell’s, Jeffrey Forrest’s, and McCulloch’s Brigades, were as- sembled here in the presence of the enemy, and Forrest's Brigade was ordered to attack to the right of the road. The attack was made with great fury, and the first line was quickly carried in the brigade’s front, but in storming the second line, a short distance rearward, the fire encountered was terrible, and the men were cut down in great numbers, Col. Jeffrey Forrest, their commander, being among the slain. He was shot through the neck while charging, mounted, at the head of his men in a lane within fifty yards of the Federal works. Col. Duckworth, of the Seventh Tennessee, then took command of the brigade, Maj. Clay assuming the command of the regiment. The men sprung forward again, and the enemy were forced back, fighting gallantly, to a new posi- tion, under cover of rail piles and breastworks, The Seventh Tennessee Cavalry. 79 Being dismounted, the regiment was now led by Gen. Forrest in person, who called for the old Seventh, and after hard fighting the Fed- erals were forced back again another half a mile. Col. Barksdale, of the Fifth Mississip- pi, was slainin thischarge. The enemy again confronting, their line under cover and in strong force, the brigade marched forward and again carried the line in their front, but with serious loss in killed and wounded. About a mile further, at a group of log cabins, the en- emy again made a stand. The Second and Seventh Tennessee here led the charge on the right under Gen. Forrest in person, with Mc- Culloch’s men on the left. The fire was dead- ly, and for awhile seemed almost unbearable. Charging through the garden of one of the houses,Gen. Forrest’s horse was shot, but alight- ing on his feet, he seized the gun of a fallen private and shouted to the men: “Forward!” At this point Maj. C. C. Clay, of the Seventh, was shot, the ball furrowing the top of his cra- nium, and Sergt. A. L. Elcan, of Company B, was wounded by his side. Capt. Aden took command of the regiment, and the line marched forward steadily, driving the enemy back toa ridge on the west side of an open field, but the gallant Col McCulloch was wounded and dis- 80 The Seventh Tennessee Cavalry. abled in the charge. Here the enemy’s cav- alry, in four heavy lines, charged in turn upon the eager but disorganized men who had charged into the field, and now hastily drew back behind a willow slgagh, and the last and most determined of the brave troopers, sup- posed to have been the Fourth United States Regulars, broke through the Confederate align- ment in several places, but meeting Col. Mc- Culloch’s men in the rear, were driven back with great loss. In these charges the men threw down their useless, empty guns, and drawing their revolvers, fought their assail- ants with the greatest fury at muzzle quarters. The regiment, though its line was thus broken, by no means gave way an inch, but held their position with undying courage. Gen. Forrest in his report of this battle says: ‘‘The whole force charged down at a gal- lop, and I am proud to say that my men did not disappoint me; standing firm, they re- pulsed the grandest cavalry charge I ever wit- nessed. The Second and Seventh Tennessee drove back the advanced line, and as it wheeled in retreat, poured upon them a destructive fire. Each successive line of the enemy shared the same fate, and fled the field in dismay and confusion, losing another piece of artillery and The Seventh Tennessee Cavalry. 81 leaving it strewn with dead and wounded men and horses.”’ . This was one of the most terrific day’s fight- ing ever experienced by the regiment; and night, which put an end to it, was rather wel- come. After night, Capt. F. F. Aden, by direc- tion of Gen. Forrest, sent Lieut. W. B. Winston, of Company C, with about twenty-five men of that company, to keep up the appearance of pursuit, and allow the weary enemy no rest over night, which duty was performed by that accomplished officer with his usual vigor and energy. The Federal retreat now became a panic, and was continued until rest and safety were found in the Federal lines at Memphis. The regiment's loss in this combat was 2 killed, 16 wounded, and 3 missing. Gen. Forrest, in his report quoted above, further says: “I desire to testify my appre- ciation of the skill and ability of Cols. Robert McCulloch, R. M. Russell, and W. L. Duck- worth, commanding brigades. . . . Col. Duckworth took command of Forrest’s Bri- gade after Col. Forrest fell on the morning of the 22d ult.” , February 23, the enemy being in rapid re- treat, the regiment was ordered back to Starks- villeand thence to Mayhew’s Station, where, on 6 82 The Seventh Tennessee Cavalry. the 6th of March, it was transferred with the Twelfth, Fourteenth, and Fifteenth Tennessee Regiments (then at Grenada) to and consti- tuted the First Brigade of Chalmers’s Divis- ion, under Col. Richardson. The Seventh, however, remained with Chalmers for the pres- ent under command of Col. Duckworth, the remaining regiments being at Grenada under Richardson. About this time Capt. W. F. Taylor, who about a year previous had been detailed with his company, A, on special serv- ice with Brig..Gen. W. H. Jackson in other departments, re-appeared among his old com- rades and was at once commissioned as lieu- tenant-colonel of the regiment by seniority. The regiment had now a full complement of of field officers, to wit: Colonel, W. L. Duck- worth; Lieutenant-colonel, W. F. Taylor; Ma- jor, C. C. Clay; and Adjutant, W. 8. Pope. On March 15, being on the march to Tupelo, the regiment was rejoined by the brigade, which was then placed under command of Col. Neely, vice Col. Richardson, who had been re- lieved from duty March 12. The regiment was detached March 15, and with McDonald’s Battalion (under Lieut.-Col. J. M. Crews) turned north-eastward, and was at Jackson, Tenn, on the 20th, and later at The Seventh Tennessee Cavalry. 83 Trenton and Humboldt; and on the 23d marched with Faulkner’sand McDonald’s Reg- iments, under Col. Duckworth, on Union City. About the 21st Capt. Aden’s company, G, under that adventurous commander, was de- tailed at Purdy from the regiment on the march to escort Gov. Isham G. Harris, of Tennessee, to Paris, in that State. Marching rapidly in the prosecution of this errand, the company, about forty strong, came in sharp collision, near Mansfield, in Henry County, with a bat- talion of Federal scouts, and a hot combat en- sued, the company losing two men wounded, and the enemy losing their major and another man killed and several wounded. Both parties retreated, the company having performed their duty of protecting their charge, and the Fed- erals, it is supposed, imagining that they had encountered a large force. The company re- joined the command at Trenton, but too late for the Union City expedition. Col. Duckworth, with his command, having reached the vicinity of Union City on the 23d, learned from a scout that there were no de- fenses there but rifle-pits, and determined to at- tack the position at daylight, the Seventh Ten- nessee and Crew’s Battalion charging it on the north, and Col. Faulkner’s command attacking 84 The Seventh Tennessee Cavalry. from the south. The attack is thus described by Col. Duckworth: ‘The burning of a house by the Federals while it was yet dark revealed the fact that they were securely lodged in a strong fort and protected for hundreds of yards by a heavy abatis. This defeated our plan of attack. Our troops were dismounted, and un- der cover of the darkness were drawn close around the fort. After daylight some heavy skirmishing was had; meantime the colonel commanding decided, having no artillery, the post could not be carried by assault. What was to be done was the question. “The colonel commanding determined to try the experiment of aruse. He accordingly submitted his plan to the commanders. Col. Crews heartily concurred, but Col. Faulkner refused, saying he did not believe it would suc- ceed. The colonel determined, however, to try it. The plan was to make the impression on the Federal commander that the long pause in the firing meant that we were waiting for re-enforcements. To strengthen this impres- sion the horse-holders in the rear were to sound bugles and raise a loud cheer, which was taken up by the dismounted men inthe bushes, who were to advance and resumea brisk fire; while this was going on the colonel commanding, The Seventh Tennessee Cavaliry. 85 at the head of a company of mounted men, dashed up under fire of the fort and remained for awhile as if making observations and then retired. The colonel then wrote a demand for immediate and unconditional surrender of the post, to which he signed the name of N. B. Forrest, major-general commanding, and sent it under a flag of truce commanded by Lieut. H.J. Livingston. Tothis Col. J. H. Hawkins, Federal commander, replied, begging time and saying that in the meantime he wished to see’ Gen. Forrest. This cornered us, for Forrest could not be produced. The colonel wrote an- other dispatch saying: ‘I am not in the habit of meeting officers inferior to myself in rank under a flag of truce, but I will send Col. Duck- worth, who is your equal in rank, and who is authorized to arrange terms and conditions with you under instructions. N. B. Forrest, major-general commanding.’ Col. Duckworth, at the head of Livingston’s squad, handed Col. Hawkins the reply. Aftera lapse of five min- utes, Hawkins handed to Duckworth a written surrender. Thus the Federal post, 300 horses, army stores, and about 475 prisoners, passed into the hands of about 320 Confederates, al- most without the loss of blood or the smell of powder.” 86 The Seventh Tennessee Cavalry. In a foot-note on page 409 “Campaigns of Gen. Forrest,’ we find it stated: ‘‘It is but justice to say that Lieut. W.S. Pope, adjutant of the Seventh Tennessee, and Lieut. W. M. McConnell, of Henderson’s Scouts, by their presence of mind and intelligent conduct of the flag of truce, contributed largely to the success of the Confederates on this occasion.” Moving thence by way of Jackson, 30th, and Pocahontas, 31st, and back through Coving- ton, the regiment was, April 12 and 13, during the attack by Gen. Forrest on Fort Pillow, oc- cupied in observation at Randolph, seven miles below that point. It was thence marched to Brownsville, where it rejoined the brigade April 15, and was at Somerville on the 16th, and at Holly Springs on the 18th of April. From there they returned to West Tennessee to recruit and remount. On May 2 the regiment (with brigade) was ordered to Tupelo under Gen. Buford as con- voy for trains and prisoners, and were, May 4, at Rienzi, and at Tupelo on the 6th, where the brigade was returned to Chalmers’s Division. During this movement part of Companies E and L were still at Bolivar and vicinity, where they became involved in the skirmish which McDonald's Battalion, under Lieut.-Col. The Seventh Tennessee Cavalry. 87 Crews, had with the enemy on May 2 in front of Bolivar, Tenn. Four of Company E, who shall be nameless, had been on a lark that day, and the whole party were feeling strongly the inspiration of bold “ John Barleycorn.” When the command retreated through Bolivar these four youngsters ‘made a stand”’ in front of the residence of a well-known citizen, and quickly came in collision there with the head of the Federal column at not more than fifty yards’ distance. The first volley sent the four horses rolling in the dust, when they quickly recov- ered their feet, but two of the youngsters, be- ing top-heavy, could not remount their wounded steeds. They were lifted into the saddles by the other two, and the whole party rode off unhurt by the storm of bullets sent after them by the Federals, who were annoyed beyond measure at the contemptuous indifference of the well-soaked youngsters and the ineffective- ness of their own fire. They afterward de- clared that “the boys were bullet proof.” May 24 the regiment was with the Hight- eenth and Nineteenth Mississippi Regiments organized as Rucker’s Sixth Brigade of Chal- mers’s First Division, and was soon after, with the Nineteenth Mississippi, detached under Col. Duckworth on special service under Gen. 88 The Seventh Tennessee Cavalry. Leeat Grenada. May 29 the regiment was or- dered back to the brigade, which was concen- trated at Oxford, Miss. While moving from Oxford to New Albany on June 5, Gen. Rucker was ordered to throw a portion of the brigade between Memphis and the rear of the Federal raid, then marching toward Tupelo, and capture his trains and can- non while pressing the Federal flank. This raiding party was in powerful force under Gen. Sturges, and was at Salem on June 4. On June 6 Rucker’s Brigade was ordered to hasten to New Albany and thence to Baldwin soas to make a junction with the main body of Gen. Forrest’s command. Crossing with great difficulty at New Albany on the after- noon of June 7, and carrying their ammunition across on their horses, the Seventh Tennessee and part of the Eighteenth Mississippi were thrown upon a Federal brigade under Wins- low, and drove them two miles until stopped by darkness. Next day the brigade was or- dered to push on to Ripley on the Federal right flank and at Boonsville, on the 9th of June, effected a junction with Buford’s Divis- ion. Company B, Capt. Russell, having been de- tached on the 9th on a foraging expedition, The Seventh Tennessee Cavalry. 89 encountered the enemy that day out toward Ripley in large force, and being fired upon, retired under a hill, throwing out skirmishers on the top of the ridge under Sergt. Nat Ma- son. These were assailed by the enemy and driven in, Sergt. Mason being killed. Privates Collier and Sale volunteered to recover his body, which they did under a hot fire without further injury than a shot through the cloth- ing of Private Collier. On the 10th, moving before day by way of Old Carrollville, the regiment was in the vicinity of Baldwin in the forenoon. Ordered to move rapidly now to get in the enemy’s front, who were advancing on an almost parallel road, the regiment, wearied from a sleepless bivouac in the rain, urged their tired horses along the mud- dy highway toward Brice’s Cross Roads, Com- pany G, Capt. Aden, being in the rear urging up the stragglers of the command. In the meantime Gen. Forrest, riding rapidly down from Boonville in advance of his command, reached Old Carrollville, and there learning that the enemy were but four miles from the Cross Roads, the objective point of his com- mand, sent forward Lieut. R. J. Black, of Com- pany B, then temporarily attached to his staff, with a few men of the Seventh to observe and 90 The Seventh Tennessee Cavalry. report the movements of the enemy. Lieut. Black soon became involved in a skirmish with the enemy about one and a half miles north of the Cross Roads, and thus was the first to open the battle. Lyon’s Brigade hav- ing been ordered up and become engaged with the enemy a short distance below the Cross Roads, the sound of the guns became apparent to the regiment on the march, and soon the order came to close up and move rapidly to the front. From this puint the regiment rode in a gallop to the field on the left of Lyon’s men, and dismounting ina skirt of woods, were immediately formed and marched into an open field, where they, with the Eighteenth Missis- sippi Regiment, went under fire and imme- diately prepared tocharge theenemy. The lat- ter occupied a wood on the far side of the field, with a thicket fence greatly strengthened with rails and logs dnd garnished with an abatis of such bushy trees as could be cut across the fence. In the field a deep gully ran parallel with the line of advance and this ditch bisected the regiment, which was formed across and on either side of it. It was now noon and very hot and sultry, when the order to charge was given. Instantly, as the regiment moved for- ward under Lieut.-Col. W. F. Taylor (Col. The Seventh Tennessee Cavalry. 91 Duckworth having been ordered to duty on another part of the field), the fence and aba- tis were ablaze with the fire of the enemy’s breech-loaders, and the men began to fall thick- ly on the field. The fire was terrible from this invisible foe, and the regiment was staggered. The men began to drop upon their faces and seek shelter in the small gullies, when Lieut.- Col. Taylor, who was mounted, dashed down the line, ordering them up and calling upon them to go forward in the charge. Thus encour- aged, the regiment, with loud cheers, rushed up the slope to the defenses of the enemy, leaving the ground strewed with fallen com- rades in their rear. Among the first killed was the gallant Adjutant W. 8S. Pope, who against orders insisted on fighting mounted, and his horse was brought to Lieut.-Col. Taylor, whose own horse was killed in the charge. Reach- ing the enemy’s defenses of brush and rails, the regiment hesitated, as there seemed no way of getting over the obstructions, and the enemy’s fire was more deadly than ever at not more than forty feet range. But some one cried out, “ Pull out a tree, boys,” and with the vehement energy of battle some of the men in front of Company C seized one of the brushy- topped black-jacks in the abatis and pulled 92 The Seventh Tennessee Cavalry. it bodily into the field. Through the gap thus formed, the regiment, shouting, poured pell-mell, and found themselves at once mixed up with the hitherto unseen enemy, and a deadly struggle at arms length began for the possession of the position. Guns, once fired, were used as clubs, and pistols were brought into play, while the two lines struggled with the ferocity of wild beasts. Never did men fight more gallantly for their position than did the determined Michigan regiment for the black-jack thicket on that hot June day. An incident of the fight will illustrate its close and deadly character. Sergt. John D. Huhn, of Company B, being a few feet ahead of his company as they passed through the brush, came face to face with a Federal soldier, and having only an empty gun, he presented it at the blue jacket and ordered him to throw his gundown. This he promptly did; but several of his companions sprung to his rescue, and the sergeant avoided a bullet in his brain by wrenching aside the muzzle as the gun ex- ploded. They then struck his extended car- bine from his hand, breaking a finger and his arm in two places, and then laid him out by a terrible blow on hiscrown. Privates Lauder- dale and Maclin, of Company B, then came to The Seventh Tennessee Cavalry. 93 his assistance, shooting two of his,stout-heart- ed assailants and driving the others off with clubbed guns. Company G, Capt. Aden, having been, as heretofore stated, placed in the rear of the brigade on the march to the battle-field, did not reach the field in time to enter the battle with the regiment; but galloping into the skirt of woods whence the regiment moved under fire, shortly after the battle began, was there met by Col. Duckworth and ordered to go into the fight on the left of the regiment, which it did with great spirit, soon overtaking the reg- iment and taking part in the vehement charge on the fence and thicket. In this onset Capt. Aden was wounded in the hand and compelled temporarily to leave the field, but returned in time, late in the afternoon, to take part in the fight beyond Brice’s house, at which part he was temporarily in command of the regiment, Lieut.-Col. Taylor having lost two horses dur- ing the afterncon, and being for the time pros- trated by the heat and fatigue. Color Sergt. A. H. D. Perkins, of Company E, the “unlucky,” was, at the commencement of the fight, ordered by Col. Duckworth to re- main with the horse-holders, as the fight prom- ised to be largely in thickets and the flag liable 94 The Seventh Tennessee Cavalry. to be torn to pieces, But seeing the charge begun, the sergeant’s enthusiasm got the bet- ter of his discretion, and marching across the field he got in front with the old flag and, as usual with the luckless fellow, gota shot through the leg, being the fifth he had received in lit- tle more than a year.* And thus the combat raged, the regiment steadily gaining ground, and together with the Eighteenth Mississippi, which had found lodg- ment on the left, in about two hours drove the enemy out of the woods and back to Brice’s house, where their artillery was captured. The fight was now, 2 o’clock P.M., general and terrific. Rucker, moving forward in the alignment, bore down all opposition, and the enemy at one time making a serious counter- charge and dashing up to within thirty yards of the regiment’s front. But their line of near- * Sergt. John D. Huh», for this and other gallant and meritorious conduct habitually shown by him, was by Col. Duckworth promoted and appointed ad- jutant, vice Lieut. W. 8. Pope, killed in this combat. Col. Duckworth subsequently, in an indorsement upon an official document, thus speaks of Sergt. Huhn: “ Applicant was assigned by me as within stated for distinguished gallantry on the battle-field and for his uniform excellent soldierly conduct. He is an excel- lent and most worthy soldier.” The Seventh Tennessee Cavalry. 95 ly a mile in length was penetrated at all points. _ The enemy being finally driven across Tisho- mingo Creek, the men were remounted to pur- sue. Meanwhile Barteau’s Regiment, the Sec- ond Tennessee, having gained their rear, they were thrown into great confusion and began to abandon their wagons, artillery, and all man- ner of property by the way-side. The pursuit was kept up five or six miles until stopped by darkness. Lieut.-Col. Taylor having stopped briefly from exhaustion, Capt. Aden was tem- porarily in command and had his horse killed. The pursuit was renewed shortly after mid- night. One part of the regiment being led by Col. Duckworth, and another part by Lieut.- Col. Taylor, charging the enemy whenever they stopped to make defense, they were borne steadily back to Stubb’s farm, where the regi- ment in the lead struck the enemy, who stam- peded, leaving nine pieces of artillery and their wagons and wounded at a small branch of the Hatchie River. Thence they swept onward to- ward Ripley, near which place, in a charge, the gallant Capt. W. J. Tate, of Company E, and Privates Poindexter and T. R. Elcan, of Compa- ny B, were killed. Lieut. W B. Winston also greatly distinguished himself, as usual with that dashing soldier, in the pursuit, which was 96 The Seventh Tennessee Cavalry. kept up until Salem was reached, and only ceased when the men and horses were too ex- hausted to go farther. In this affair the regi- ment lost 21 killed and 33 wounded, mostly in the charge across the open field at the outset. Among the wounded was the intrepid Capt. F. F. Aden, of Company G, shot in the hand, but not disabled. Reaching Salem, the brigade was turned back to gather up stragglers and property, arms, accouterments, etc. The enemy had been defeated and driven fifty-eight miles in twenty-five hours, leaving behind all their trains, artillery, and wounded, and more than 1,600 prisoners. Altogether, considering the difference in numbers, this was the most re- markable cavalry victory of the war. The reg- iment was soon after, June 22, at Aberdeen, and June 30 at Verona, and on July 9 was thrown out four miles west of Tupelo to meet the grand movement under Gen. A. J. Smith, which culminated in the battle of Harrisburg. On the 11th the regiment was at Pinson’s Hill, two miles south of Pontotoc, on the Confeder- ate left and on the Cotton Gin Road; on the 12th it was withdrawn several miles with the trains, and later in the day ordered back to the front; and on the 13th was marched across The Seventh Tennessee Cavalry. 97 to the Tupelo road, twelve miles south-east of Pontotoc, and reached Barrow’s Shop, on that road, about 3 o’clock P.M. Here, moving under Gen. Chalmers in per- son, they were thrown upon the flank of the enemy, and for a time got possession of his train; but the enemy quickly concentrated upon them a furious fire of two regiments of in- fantry (Seventh Minnesota and Twelfth Iowa), and the men were soon driven from their prey, after having disabled eight wagons, two ambulances, and one caisson, which were burned by the enemy. The loss of the com- mand in this brush was severe, including Maj. C. C. Clay, again dangerously wounded. Hanging now on the Federal rear, the reg- iment bivouacked, aftera hot day, within four miles of Tupelo, on the Chesterville Road. The brigade was so reduced by heat, and exhaust- ion of the men and horses, that it only mus- tered about 900 out of the 1,600 men belonging to it. The regiment had only about half its force of 570 men. On the next day, in the battle of Harrisburg, the brigade was on the left center, between Bell’s and Mabry’s Brigades. The morning had been consumed in marching and counter- marching, which under the July sun had great- 7 98 The Seventh Tennessee Cavalry. ly exhausted the men, and they were poorly prepared to make the terrible assault they were soon called upon to do. . Finally in the blazing sun, in an open field, the charge was ordered. The brigade was ordered leftward to support Mabry, and with a loud cheer rushed forward, Col. Rucker leading the left and Gen. Chalmers the right of the bri- gade. On they went over plowed ground and through a corn-field across the enemy’s front for nearly two thousand yards, while the ene- mny’s works were ablaze with the fire of artil- lery and small arms. Then reaching the part of the line to be assaulted, the brigade charged up the steaming slope by the right flank, the men falling everywhere from the murderous fire of the enemy’s infantry and fainting by dozens from the intense heat and thirst. On they staggered up to within sixty paces of the enemy’s works, and having lost one-third of the men from wounds or exhaustion, the bri- gade, after their gallant commander was twice shot, fell back to shelter, Col. Duckworth suc- ceeding Col. Rucker in command of the bri- gade and Lieut.-Col. Taylor taking command oftheregiment. It was a deadly struggle; and though repulsed, the regiment splendidly sus- tained its renown won onso many hard-fought The Seventh Tennessee Cavalry. 99 fields. In this engagement and the pursuit the regiment lost Capt. J. P. Statler, of Com- pany E; Sergt.-Maj. C. N. Claiborn, of Com- pany B; and 74 men killed and wounded. In the fierce charge Color Sergt. Egbert Shep- herd, of Company B, was shot down. “Save the flag!” cried out the desperately wounded man, and a dozen men rushed forward to grasp and uphold the beloved banner, an unknown member of Company E reaching it first and holding it aloft during the remainder of the day. After dark, Gen. Forrest, taking the brigade mounted, under Col. Duckworth, moved around to the enemy’s left and drew up close under their works and encampment. Their outer line fell back, being driven rapidly by Duck- worth’s men three-quarters of a mile upon the main body, which at once opened in the darkness the most uproarious fire of musketry ever heard by the regiment; but as they over- shot the command in the darkness, but little damage was done. ‘The enemy, however, are reported to have fired on each other in the darkness, as their loss was more considerable than could have been inflicted by Duckworth’s little brigade. The 15th was spent in constant combat with 100 The Seventh Tennessee Cavalry. the enemy, who had begun to retreat; and on the 16th the regiment was ordered forward in pursuit, and skirmished lightly for two days to the vicinity of Kelly’s Mills and New Albany. The regiment, when this movement began, July 10, 1864, had on its rolls for service 595 men, and at the close of the operations, July 17, 1864, only 433 men answered at roll-call, a reduction by death, wounds, or prostration of 162 men. More than half of these were killed and wounded in the several engagements. (MS. notes of Lieut. R. J. Black.) August 30, 1864, the regiment was by Gen- eral Order No. 73, together with the Twenty- sixth Battalion, or Forrest’s old regiment, and the Twelfth, Fourteenth, and Fifteenth Ten- nessee Regiments, all Tennessee troops, or- ganized as a brigade, “to be designated as Rucker’s Brigade,” and by the same order Col. E. W. Rucker was assigned permanently to the command of that brigade. (Official letter of Gen. Chalmers, September 12.) This change created considerable dissatis- faction among the field officers of the brigade, not that they did not consider Gen. Rucker a brave and competent man, but they claimed ° that under army regulations the senior field officer of the brigade was entitled by seniority The Seventh Tennessee Cavalry. hol tothecommand. This dissatisfaction resulted in a correspondence with Gen. Chalmers, com- manding the division, in which he censured the protesting officers and warned them that they were insubordinate in not cheerfully com- plying with General Order No. 73. But not noticing this warning, and refusing to cbey the orders of Col. Rucker, on the 12th of August Cols. F. M. Stewart, J. U. Green, W. L. Duck- worth, J. J. Neely, and Maj. Phil T. Allen were, by order of Gen. Forrest, suspended from their commands and placed under arrest, and next day Col. Duckworth was sent to Mo- bile. This left the regiment under the com- mand of Lieut.-Col. W. F. Taylor, and it so continued until it assembled at Gainesville, Ala., to be surrendered in May, 1865. CHAPTER IV.

On September 1 the regiment was ordered to march from Oakland to West Point, there to embark for Mobile under orders from Gen. D. H. Maury; but at West Point, on Septem- ber 4, received orders to come no farther. By September 14 it had marched to Tupelo, and there halted until the 16th to draw rations and prepare for their long march ‘across the Tennessee,’ a movement which always brought The Seventh Tennessee Cavalry. 103 more joy to the Tennessee troopers than any other occurrence of the war. On September 16 the grand forward march began, the bri- gade being temporarily under command of Lieut.-Col. D. C. Kelley. Moving by Moores- ville, 16th; Marietta, 17th; Osborough, 18th; they crossed Bear Creek on the 19th, and en- camped at Cherokee Station, on the Memphis and Charleston railroad and near the Tennes- see River. Every thing ready, the regiment rode to and forded the “ Rubicon,” the beautiful Ten- nessee, on September 21, at Colbert’s Fer- ry, at the lower extremity of the Muscle Shoals, by a tortuous and dangerous ford one and a quarter miles broad. Moving across in closely drawn file, the command is described as resembling the “sinuous folds of a great serpent.” Passing through Florence, Ala., on the 22d, and marching over a rocky, rough highway, crossing Shoal Creek seven miles east of Florence, they encamped about seventeen miles east of that place, and on the 23d reached the vicinity of Athens just before sunset, which place was strongly fortified and garrisoned, driving in the enemy’s outposts and encampments to their fort. The regiment passed the night in a pouring, pelting rain, 104 The Seventh Tennessee Cavalry. standing in line of battle south-east of the town. On the 24th it moved early through the out- skirts of the town to a point almost eight hundred yards west of the fort, and was there posted in support of a battery. About 12 M., a train arrived from Decatur with a strong de- tachment of infantry on board intended to re- enforce the garrison, and this force left the train -near a block-house about a mile from the fort. Col. Kelley promptly interposed his brigade, and at once the Seventh Tennessee was in serious collision with this strong force. They were soon re-enforced by detachments of Wilson’s, Logwood’s, and Jesse Forrest’s Regiments, and Nixon’s and Carter’s Battalions, and after an hour’s hard fighting, the enemy threw down their arms and surrendered to the number of 400. In the meantime, at 1 P.m., the fort sur- rendered with its garrison of 1,40U men, and the two block-houses then yielded with garri- sons of 85 and 35 men respectively, the small- er one, however, requiring an incentive in the shape of a few shells from Morton’s guns, which killed and wounded several of the men. Moving at 5 p.m., the command marched to- ward Suphur Trestle, and encamped eight miles from Athens. At daylight on the 24th the men were in the saddle; and after a ride The Seventh Tennessee Cavalry. 105 of three miles, were dismounted and rapidly formed in front of the enemy’s strong works at the Trestle. The brigade, charging across an open field led by Col. Kelley, quickly came to the enemy’s rifle-pits, two hundred yards in front of the redoubt, and drew up closely under cover of some bluffs and ravines around the enemy’s intrenchments. The loss in this charge was 7, Col. Kelley’s horse being shot under him. The place was now cannonaded, with the result of killing the Federal com- mander, Col. Lathrop, and about 200 of his men, when the redoubt surrendered with the remainder of its garrison of 820 men, mostly negroes, but including the Third Tennessee (white) Federal Cavalry. The command got here 2 pieces of artillery, 16 wagons, 700 stand of arms, and 300 cavalry horses, the latter a grateful sight to many badly mounted troop- ers in the Seventh. The succeeding incidents are thus given in Private J. J. Elcan’s diary: Monday, September 26.— Our column was in motion at sunrise this morning, still proceeding up the railroad. Arrived at and burned the railroad bridge across the beau- tiful stream, Elk River, about 8 o’clock AM. Here the enemy had a block-house, which we compelled them to evacuate by 106 The Seventh Tennessee Cavalry. means of a flank movement so well de- signed by our commander. Proceeded a few miles. farther and burned a negro corral, where 2,500 negroes were employed on gov- ernment farms. They had 600 acres of land in cultivation, and many fat beeves, which we sent south for the subsistence of our army. Moved farther, and burned a very fine railroad bridge about seven miles south of Pulaski. September 27 the brigade advanced to- ward Pulaski on a road parallel with the rail- road. About six miles out the enemy at- tacked the advance, and for a short while drove them back. But the command moved steadily forward, fighting with determination the stubborn enemy, who were evidently stouter soldiers than those encountered at Sulphur Trestle and Athens. Three miles out from the town the enemy made a resolute stand. Kelley’s Brigade was on the extreme left. Gen. Forrest, in his report, says: ‘The engagement was becoming a general one. The enemy threw his right around for the purpose of making an enfilading fire upon my troops, who had pushed far into his center. About this time my troops on the left ad- The Seventh Tennessee Cavalry. 107 vanced, and the artillery in that direction un- expectedly opened a destructive fire, which caused the enemy to make a hasty retreat. He was closely followed up, and driven into town and into his fortifications.” The fighting had now (1 p.m.) continued hotly for about seven hours, and the regi- ment’s loss was 7, including Lieut.-Col. W. I’. Taylor, wounded. Capt. McCutchen, of Com- pany H, took command of the regiment, which he held for the balance of this raid. The command was now withdrawn, and went into camp in the vicinity; but after dark, leaving their camp-fires burning brightly, commenced a rapid march toward Fayette- ville, on the Chattanooga railroad, but were stopped by a pouring rain after marching seven miles. At daybreak, on the 28th, the march was resumed, and continued to a point five miles beyond Fayetteville, where the com- mand encamped, having marched forty miles that day. Lieut.-Col. Taylor, disabled by his wound, was left here to recuperate. Nextday, September 29, the command was within fif- teen miles of Tullahoma. Here the command was divided, and the regiment, with Lyons’s and Bell’s Brigades and McDonald’s Battalion, went with Gen. Forrest toward Spring Hill. 108 The Seventh Tennessee Cavalry. Encamping near Petersburg on the night of September 29, they were at Lewisburg at noon on the 30th; crossed Duck River at Hardison’s Ford, and were at Spring Hill at noon on the Ist of October. The march of the command on the 30th was forty miles, over the roughest and rockiest of roads in a wild country. On the 2d the command was in mo- tion and menacing Columbia, encamping that night at Mount Pleasant; and on the 3d marched toward Florence, encamping within seven miles of that point on the 5th. Here Companies B and C, under Capt. J. P. Rus- sell, were detached to convey the beef cattle direct to Colbert’s Ferry, and the regiment marched before daylight to Florence, where the day and night of the 6th were spent in fer- rying the wagons and artillery across the Ten- nessee River. Concerning this week’s movements the dia- ry of Private J. J. Klean, of Company B, con- tains this narrative: Saturday, October 1.—Left camp very early, moving in the direction of Franklin. After traveling in this direction for a short distance, turned toward Columbia. Passed through Spring Hill, a beautiful town, and came to the railroad again, tearing it up for many miles; The Seventh Tennessee Cavalry. 109 burned two wagons. Moving down the rail- road in the direction of Columbia, we came to three block-houses, which surrendered to us with 138 prisoners after a brisk skirmish. By the capitulation of these block-houses we were enabled to burn several very fine bridges and about six miles of the railroad. After ma- neuvering considerably, we marched off by the very brilliant light of the burning road and block-houses, and camped eight miles from Spring Hill. The light could be seen from our camp. Sunday, October 2.—Recrossed Duck River, moving in the direction of Columbia, near which place we arrived at about 2 o'clock P.M., driving in the enemy’s pickets, which was fol- lowed by heavy skirmishing, in which we per- sisted but for an hour, losing 1 man killed and 2 or 3 wounded—had my horse shot. The enemy had a very formidable fort and a largé force. We were withdrawn, and marched about six or seven miles on the Mount Pleas- ant road, and camped for the night. Monday, October 3.—Passed through the beautiful little town of Mount Pleasant. Tuesday, October 4.—Passed through Law- renceburg, beyond which we camped on the Florence road. 110 The Seventh Tennessee Cavalry. Wednesday, October 5.—Great deal of rain last night. This morning we march for the Tennessee River. Passed through Lauder- dale Factory, on Shoal Creek, and camped six or seven miles from Florence. Thursday, October 6.—Crossed the Tennessee River at Newport. Commenced early in the morning and continued until the 8th inst., when all were over but about three regiments. The Seventh Tennessee (with the exception of the First Squadron), the Second Tennes- see, and Sixteenth Tennessee were prevented from crossing at this place by the enemy, who was steadily advancing with a largely supe- rior force. Our squadron was detached on the night of the 5th inst., and was thus en- abled to get over the river before the regi- ment came up. Friday, October 7.—The First Squadron of the Seventh Tennessee crossed the Tennes- see. The scene was indeed grand at night. Saturday, October 8.— We left Cherokee Sta- tion and marched to Chickasaw Bluff in search of our regiment. The crossing referred to above was difficult and dangerous, the river being high and the weather stormy, which so delayed the cross- ing of the command, with which was the main The Seventh Tennessee Cavalry. 111 part of the regiment, that the enemy under Rousseau and Steadman were soon in close proximity, and making dispositions to sur- round and prevent the escape of their wily enemy and his little army. At this juncture, and while the enemy’s buliets were beginning to splash in the water among the swimming troopers, the Second, the Seventh, and the Sixteenth Tennessee Regiments, and Win- der’s Battalion of Alabama Troops, all under Col. C. R. Barteau, of the Second Tennessee, were directed to retire on the Waterloo road. The ruse succeeded. The enemy followed in hot pursuit, when, at the crossing of Cypress Creek, the little rear-guard turned and stood at bay and disputed the passage with Steadman’s Division. But, being flanked, they fell back, slowly fighting, on the Newport Ferry road. Soon after, in conjunction with Col. Win- der’s, the Seventh, now under Capt. H. C. Mc- Cutchen, was ordered back on the Waterloo road, and fought steadily all day of the 9th, holding the enemy in check until the men and wagons of the command were safely ferried across. The regiment was then ordered to scatter and recross the river wherever pos- sible. A council was called by Capt. H. C. McCutchen, in command of the regiment, on 112 The Seventh Tennessee Cavalry. the receipt of this order; and it was agreed that each company commander should take his own company, and move in different direc- tions, to embarrass the enemy and prevent pursuit, which was done. The several com- panies moving off sought the enemy’s rear, and so effectually puzzled the enemy’s com- manders that they soon abandoned all search for them, and shortly began to retire. This left the roads to the South open, and the sev- eral companies soon turned their heads in that direction, the common object being to effect a crossing of the river. ‘This was safely accom- plished at Newport Ferry by most of the com- mand, on the 13th, without the loss of a man, and the regiment, with its consorts, was high- ly commended by the general commanding for its devotion and courage during this try- ing ordeal. Col. C. R. Barteau, of the Second Tennessee Regiment, commanded these de- tachments north of the river which so success- fully aborted the effort of the enemy to pre- vent the retreat of Forrest’s command across the Tennessee.* * Gen. Forrest, in his report, erroueously places Col. A.N. Wilson in command of these detachments. Col. Barteau was the ranking officer, and commanded the detachment. The Seventh Tennessee Cavalry. 118 During these operations Companies B and C, which had been detailed on the 5th, as above stated, reconnoitered the river below to intercept anv effort by gun-boats to strike the command from that direction. Leaving Chickasaw on the 9th, they were at Corinth on the 10th, Pittsburg Landing on the 11th, and again at Corinth on the 13th. On the 17th, the regiment still under Col. Kelley’s command as a brigade commander, was on the march for Johnsonville, by way of Henderson Station and Jackson, Tenn., where, October 21, Col. Rucker again rejoined and took command of his brigade, which, together with Mabry’s Brigade, was returned under Gen. Chalmers’s command, and moved by the 24th to McLemoresville; and on the afternoon of the 29th it was at Paris, Tenn., and later at Paris Landing. The regiment was rejoined on the 22d at Cotton Gin, near McLemoresville, by Com- pany B, which had marched by way of Davis’s Bridge, Matamoras, Newcastle, Wesley, and Brownsville, enjoying a short respite at Wes- ley. About noon of the 30th the regiment, hav- ing arrived on the bank of the beautiful Ten- nessee at Paris Landing, witnessed the unsus- 8 114 The Seventh Tennessee Cavalry. pecting approach of a transport, the “J. W. Cheeseman.” The boat being allowed to pass the battery of light guns established on the river bank under cover, so as to bring it safe- ly between the batteries at Paris Landing and those at Old Fort Heiman, was opened upon by the guns, and, being quickly disabled, had to surrender to Capt. Lawler, of Company C, The steamer proved to be laden with sutler stores and furniture, and the candies, nuts, and good things were quickly handed around and devoured by the hungry troopers, so long ac- customed to hard-tack and lean beef. Later in the day the regiment took part in the assault on the gun-boat ‘‘ Undine” and the transport “ Venus,” which that morning had passed the upper batteries at Paris Landing, and found themselves entrapped between those batteries and the guns at Fort Heiman. Mov- ing down the river with the artillery, being sections of Walton’s, Rice’s, and Martin’s Batteries, the gun-boat was assailed; and after a noisy fight, was driven ashore disabled on the opposite side and abandoned. Having secured these boats, they were fitted up as a fleet, and manned with artillerists and troop- ers, and soon moved down the river toward Johnsonville, the regiment moving along the The Seventh Tennessee Cavalry. 115 shore in close company. Lieut. I. N. Stin- son, of Company B, with a detachment of 25 men, was on one of the steamers. Meeting the enemy’s gun-boats, a fight ensued on November 1, in which the ‘‘ Venus” was disabled and capt- ured; and on November 2 the ‘ Undine” shared the same fate, the ‘“Horse Marines”’ being badly worsted in their first. naval com- bat, and entirely willing to do all their riding “on a horse” thence afterward. The regiment reached the vicinity of John- sonville on the Ist, and took post with Ma- bry’s Brigade about three miles south of that point, where they remained on the 2d; and on the 3d were established nearly opposite the point of attack; and on the 4th were inter- ested observers of the destruction of the Fed- eral stores, an immense pile, on the opposite bank by our artillery, and also of their gun- boat and transport fleet by the artillery, which had been pushed up by hand to within eight- een hundred feet of the enemy’s position on the opposite bank. On the 5th, after a farewell volley at a -reg- iment of negro troops on the opposite bank, the regiment was withdrawn southward; and on the 6th were at Old Perryville, where they remained, ‘riding around,” as stated by Lieut. 116 The Seventh Tennessee Cavalry. Black in his diary on the 7th; and on the 8th crossed the Tennessee in skiffs and flats, swimming their horses behind, a few of which were drowned. Finding themselves now in a rocky coun- try, and the horses being without shoes, the regiment was ina dilemma. They could not proceed, and to remain where they were would be fatal. But the fertile resources of the men of the Seventh were not long at fault. Visit- ing all the blacksmith shops in the surround- ing country for miles, they obtained iron by stripping the tires from the farmers’ wagons in the vicinity, and with the aid of the smiths in the command all horses were soon shod and ready for the road.* Proceeding on the 9th by way of Linden, they were on the 10th at Ashland and Waynes- boro, and on the 11th reached Hood’s army at Florence, camping at the old mills on Cy- press Creek. The regiment remained here until the 15th, when it marched in the after- noon to Gooseford, on Shoal Creek, where it remained until the 19th. On the 16th the enemy drove in the pick- ets, but soon retired, and next day Company B relieved Company I on picket. * MS. notes of Capt. F. F. Aden. The Seventh Tennessee Cavalry. 117 On the 18th the enemy in force assaulted the outpost, and a hot skirmish followed with varying fortunes, until 12 m., when the enemy retired; and the regiment following, obtained their forage to the northward of the scene of conflict, returning to camp that night. On Sunday morning, November 20, the grand advance of Hood’s army began. Lieut. R. J. Black writes of the regiment’s part in this movement in his diary as follows: Sunday, November 20.— Left camp about mid- night, moving only twelve or fifteen miles. Monday, November 21.— Resumed march about 9 a.M., and camped again about three miles beyond West Point. In the meantime had considerable snow, and we all came near freezing. I never suffered so much before, for the length of time, with cold. Tuesday, November 22.—Regiment moved out one and a half miles, procured two days’ ra- tions of corn, and returned to camp again. Still snowing, and very cold. Capt. Russell being sick, W. N. Hill was detailed to escort him into the country to rusticate for awhile. Wednesday, November 23.—Left camp very early. Marched rapidly in the direction of Columbia, via Henryville and Mount Pleas- ant. Driving the enemy pell-mell before us, 118 The Seventh Tennessee Cavalry. arrived in front of Columbia about 8 o’clock A.M. of the 24th. Since leaving camp, trav- eled forty-two miles. Lieut.-Col. Dawson, of the Fifteenth Tennessee, killed, and one pri- vate of Forrest's Regiment, besides two or three of other commands wounded. The fighting on the 23d was very severe. The brigade charged after dark in the direc- tion of some firing, and nearly came in col- lision with a small force under Gen. Forrest; but the cheers of the men being recognized by Forrest, a dire disaster was avoided. The brigade lost during the day 5 killed and 30 wounded, including the loss in Forrest’s es- cort, in whose company they were fighting. In motion early on the 24th, by way of Mount Pleasant, the Federal rear guard was overtaken at Gen. Lucius Polk’s place and forced back upon the works at Columbia. In this charge Lieut.-Col. Dawson, of the Fif- teenth Tennessee, was killed; and Lieut. W. B. Winston, of Company C, was seriously wounded in the forehead, the scar of which he still bears. Disposing the men, Col. Rucker commenced a steady skirmish with the ene- my’s pickets, which was maintained all the ‘afternoon. On the 25th Lieut. Black, with 20 men of The Seventh Tennessee Cavalry. 119 Company B, were detached as foragers, and did not rejoin the regiment until December 1. On the 26th the brigade was encamped at Webster’s Mills, ten miles south-west of Co- lumbia; and on the 28th was ordered east- ward to cross Duck River at Holland’s Ford, seven miles east of Columbia, which was ac- complished that afternoon; and after dark they divouacked about four miles north of the river. Before day on the 29th the brigade moved forward on a rough, rocky country road _ to- ward Hurt’s Cross Roads, and encountering | the enemy early in the day, bore them back by sharp fighting to the Cross Roads. About noon an attack was here made by the three divisions of Buford, Chalmers, and Jackson, and the Federals were forced back to Mount Carmel Church. In this day’s advance Com- pany A, Seventh Tennessee, which had so long been absent from the regiment, and was still detached as escort to Gen. Jackson, formed the van-guard, and made several dashing charges on the Lewisburg and Franklin turn- pike, in one of which Private F. M. Nelson engaged a Federal trooper with his saber, and was knocked from his horse by a blow from the ‘‘blue jacket’s” blade. The gallant Fed- 120 The Seventh Tennessee Cavalry. eral was instantly killed, however, by a shot from the pistol of Private J. M. Tate, who had come to his comrade’s rescue. At Mount Carmel another fierce attack was made on the enemy’s works and rail-piles, which were carried by storm in a beautiful charge of Jackson’s Division; and the whole command turned sharply to the left, and, after a rapid gallop of five miles, came on the ene- my’s infantry at Spring Hill, and the regiment took part, about sundown, with the infantry under Cleburne in the assault on the works. This assault was successful, the enemy being driven out of the intrenchments into the town, and after dark the regiment was drawn back, and bivouacked in the immediate vicinity. On the 30th the regiment was dispatched west of Spring Hill to the Carter’s Creek turnpike to guard the Confederate left flank, and that afternoon drove in the Federal pick- ets on the extreme left at Franklin. Estab- lishing the brigade within a few yards of the enemy’s intrenchments, Col. Rucker main- tained a hot skirmish with their outer lines until night, while the main attack was made by the infantry on the right. The enemy having evacuated Franklin on the night after the deadliest conflict in which our army was The Seventh Tennessee Cavalry. 121 engaged during the war, the Confederates los- ing over 6,000 men in less than two hours, the regiment on the next day was thrown north-westward to the Hillsboro and Nash- ville pike, and followed that highway without obstruction to the vicinity of Nashville, where they arrived December 2, when the regiment formed in line of battle in front of the town, the skirmish lne being posted about three miles from the city. On the next day the regiment was ordered around to the left wing of the army, and was soon engaged in animated skirmish with the enemy in the vicinity of the Charlotte pike, which lasted all day. On Sunday, December 4, the enemy opened heavily upon them with artillery, which con- tinued all day, while the crack, crack of the skirmishers’ rifles kept time with the deep pounding of the big guns. There was no, child’s play in front of the Seventh Regi- ment during this investment of Nashville. It was constant deadly work, bringing into play all the nerve and coolness of the veterans to maintain their position in front of their powerful and persistent foe. On one occasion Company B of the regiment, being left well advanced on the picket line at night, was lost 122 The Seventh Tennessee Cavalry. sight of during some changes in the position of the regiment, and when wanted could not be found. They were supposed to be captured, but Sergeant A. L. Elcan, volunteering to look for them, found the company right on the en- emy’s line, and sheltered from destruction only by the friendly blackness of the night. They escaped without loss. December 6 the regiment was marched down the Charlotte pike several miles to the Cum- berland river, to observe the enemy’s move- ments on that stream, and were by 10 o'clock A.M. in sharp collision with one of the Federal gun-boats, which came down from Nashville to pay its respects. At 2 p.m. the regiment was in line of battle on the river front, to meet some more gun-boats which had appeared, and, after enduring considerable shelling, the boats retired. On the next day the regiment was moved nearer Nashville, on the Charlotte pike, and on the 8th relieved Kelley’s Regi- ment (McDonald’s battalion) on the skirmish line. The weather was growing rapidly colder and very disagreeable to the troopers, and on the next day (9th) a snow-fall added nothing to their comfort. The regiment was withdrawn a short distance, leaving one company (B) on The Seventh Tennessee Cavalry. 123 picket. On Sunday (11th) the regiment was forced close up to the enemy’s skirmishers, and remained that day in line with horses saddled, enduring the bitter cold as best they could; and thus they remained on the 12th and 13th, Company G being on the skirmish line in the afternoon of the 13th. The weather next day turned warmer, and a thaw set in. December 15 will never be forgotten by the men of the Seventh. At 10 o’clock in the morning the enemy’s skirmishers, in clouds, came pouring over the hills and through the valleys, and soon became hotly engaged with their attenuated antagonists. They were held in check, however, in the regiment’s vicinity, until 2 p.m., when the left wing of the infantry were brushed back by the onset on the Hardin pike, and the cavalry under the gallant Ruck- er were thrown back toward the Cumberland River, and entirely cut off from the army. Here the enemy made a desperate effort to capture the regiment, a strong force following hotly in its rear, and a still larger one moving rapidly forward on its left flank (en retreat) to try and get in its rear. The moment was a perilous one, but Lieut.-Col. Taylor, notwith- standing the confusion of the rush to escape this flanking fire, halted, and formed success- 124 The Seventh Tennessee Cavalry. ive squadrons fronting the flanking enemy, and would fire upon them, sometimes at only a few paces distance, and then fall back until again overtaken by the flankers, when they would repeat this maneuver. This saved the regiment, and, once rid of this persistent flanking movement, the men were again formed in line of battle, and retired slowly, fighting every step back to the Donelson place, seven miles from Nashville on the Charlotte pike, from which place at midnight they withdrew across to the Hardin pike, near the left flank of the army, and encamped. Next morning betimes the regiment was moved over to the Hillsboro pike, near the Brentwood hills—the extreme left of the Con- federate army—and remained here in the im- mediate presence of the enemy until 3 P.m., when it was ordered farther down the Hills- boro pike, toward Franklin, with orders to picket that flank of the army, which was now in full retreat. Here, at day-break on the 17th, Companies B, D, and E, constituting the picket front, were assailed by the enemy in great force, and compelled slowly to retire; and at noon, having rejoined the regiment, the whole force were formed on the Franklin pike, but were soon driven headlong into Franklin. The Seventh Tennessee Cavalry. 125 Here the Confederate infantry had formed, and, supported by some artillery, held the en- emy in check; but, a flanking force appearing to the left rear of the regiment, now in the rear of that flank of the enemy, the regiment retreated across the Harpeth; and, moving rapidly to Spring Hill, encamped. At the crossing of the Harpeth the enemy charged with great impetuosity in the dark; and a small party, consisting of Lieut.-Col. W. F. Taylor, Lieut. R. J. Black, Private Jack Som- erville, and another private whose name is not remembered, found themselves separated from the command and in the immediate pres- ence of the enemy. But it was a life and death struggle now, and this little squadron held their ground, emptying their revolvers right in the faces of the enemy at a few paces, and then retired safely across the river with- ' out injury to one of them—an almost miracu- lous escape. On the 18th the remnant of the brigade, including the Seventh Tennessee, moved out to the Carter’s Creek pike, where they burned three railroad bridges, and at Rutherford Creek three more, and encamped about five miles from Columbia, on the Car- ter’s Creek turnpike. On the next day they held the line of the creek to the left of the in- 126 The Seventh Tennessee Cavalry. fantry, skirmishing heavily, and at dark moved into and encamped at Columbia, about 10 p.m. of one of the coldest nights of the war. The cutting wind and bitter cold were almost unendurable; even by the hardy veterans who had undergone so much exposure before on that dreadful winter retreat. December 20 the regiment moved out to Gen. Pillow’s farm to feed, and returned to encampment near Columbia. It was sleeting, and freezing to every thing, and bitter cold. Next day it moved through Columbia, and marched eastward up Duck River, picketing it for some distance above town. On the 22d a detachment of the enemy effected a crossing in front of the Seventh Tennessee pickets, showing a very grave negligence on the part of some persons unknown, and the regiment was immediately retired toward the Pulaski turnpike; and the rear guard, composed of eight fragmentary brigades of infantry, 1,600 strong, under Walthall; 1,200 cavalry, under Jackson; 500, under Chalmers; and a few hundred, under Buford, commenced falling back in the forenoon. The Seventh encamped for the night at Bigbyville; the infantry and Jackson’s Division several miles to the north- west and above Lynnville. On the next day The Seventh Tennessee Cavalry. 127 the regiment retired by Campbellsville to Bor- denham and encamped, being posted in ob- servation on the left flank of the retreating army. Moving on the 24th, early, toward Lynnville, the regiment took part on the left flank in the bloody fight of the rear-guard, at Richland Creek, just south of Lynnville. As- sailed here by. overwhelming numbers, Chal- mers and Buford, whose joint command did not exceed eight hundred men, were pressed back vehemently across Richland Creek, just west of the bridge on the Pulaski pike. At this moment Company A, still on detached service, had been ordered by Gen. Forrest to burn the bridge, and about a dozen members of the -company were engaged in that duty when the general charge was made .by the Federals. Making a run for their horses, the men on the bridge were saved from capture by Gen. Jackson, who halted two guns of Mor- ton’s battery, and opened with canister on the pursuing column of the enemy. Regain- ing their horses, the remnants of Chalmers’s Division, including the Seventh, were now ob- ‘served running down the wooded slope on the left, beyond the creek, and, crossing over, seemed to be fighting hand to hand with the enemy in the open field on the south side of 128 The Seventh Tennessee Cavalry. the stream. Jackson’s Division was now again pressed into the fight, and the onset of the en- emy was checked. Just before crossing the creek, while in line in support of the artillery, Company A lost their gallant lieutenant, H. W. Watkins, his thigh being crushed by a can- non-shot from the enemy’s battery. He lived but a short time after he was hit. He was one of the bravest men in the regiment, and had been mentioned by his commander specially for gallantry and daring at Corinth and other places. The regiment, under Lieut.-Col. W. F. Tay- lor, was now moved through Pulaski, and on Christmas-day was posted on the left flank at the fierce struggle at Anthony’s Hall, and the next day again took part in the final repulse of the enemy at Sugar Creek. From thence they marched undisturbed to the Tennessee River, at Bainbridge, crossing that stream on the pontoon bridge on the night of the 27th; and after floundering in the mud for some time, and losing many horses bogged down in the morass, the regiment encamped after day- light. On the 28th it proceeded to Barton Station, twelve miles west of Tuscumbia. The weather was again extremely cold. The regiment moved on the 29th to Iuka, YX RUSSELL. x 5 2. < vo PRIVATE JAMES FENTRESS, batt f), Cs LA & DUCKWORTH. LWeu “ Poe Frees. ay oe LE pa HJ LIVINGSTONE MAJ. C.L.CLAY. LIEUT. The Seventh Tennessee Cavalry. 129 crossing Town Creek on the railroad bridge, and moved next day to Burnsville. In this march the horses were nearly starved from want of corn, some of the regiment being with- out corn except two small feeds for four days. On the next day, in the afternoon, they marched to Burnsville through a cold, pelting rain. Resuming the march on December 31, the regiment moved to Corinth, and next day to near Rienzi. The horses had had only three feeds since crossing the Tennessee, and the country afforded nothing. But late in the afternoon of January 2 a full supply was re- ceived. The horses were so frantic from hun- ger that many of them almost choked them- selves to death with their halters when they got sight of the welcome corn. 9 CHAPTER V. Temporary Consolidation —The Regiment Fur- loughed—A Rush for Home—Return of the Men to Camp—The Regiment in Convention—Patriot- ic Resolutions—The Wilson Raid—March to Ala- bama—Conflicts at Scottsville and Centerville— The Last Gun—Announcement of the Surrender— Grief of the Men—Dividing the Old Flag—A Sad Farewell. On January 3 the Seventh Regiment, re- duced by the vicissitudes of the late campaign to a mere handful of mounted men, was, to- gether with the Twelfth, Fourteenth, and Fif- teenth Tennessee, and Kelley’s Regiment (Twenty-sixth Battalion), consolidated, and remained in camp near Rienzi next day, being addressed at dress parade by Col. Kelley. Here a great and delightful surprise awaited the war-beaten veterans. On the 5th of Jan- uary, about 8 A.m., they were marched into Rienzi and notified by Gen. Chalmers that they were as a body furloughed for twenty days, and could in that interval go where they pleased. Loud shouts of joy burst from their lips, and with three cheers for their esteemed The Seventh Tennessee Cavalry. 131 commander, Gen. Chalmers, the command, without further preparations or ceremony, turned their horses’ heads by companies to- ward their homes in West Tennessee. The rush and hurry of that ride for home, ‘through the blinding snow-storm, will never be forgotten by the participants, many of them riding from fifty to sixty miles per day, so as not to lose an hour of precious time. And then the joyous fleeting hours at home, where the weather-beaten, battle-scarred troopers reveled in the delights of sunny smiles and joyful tears of tender mothers and sisters, and lived on all the good things that the pit- iless war on the border had yet left in the larders. But time seemed to fly with eagle wings, and the time too soon came to return to camp and hardship. ‘To their lasting hon- or be it said, the old Seventh to a man re- turned to their colors. Some lingered by the cozy firesides of home, and were a few days late, but all came back; and in a few weeks after their furlough the regiment—remounted, re-clothed, and imbued (from association with the patriotic ladies in old Tennessee) with fresh- ened zeal for the cause—were in better condi- tion for service than they had been for many a month before. Nearly all the stragglers and 182 The Seventh Tennessee Cavalry. dismounted men of the late campaign had re- turned, and the regiment was now ready to take part in the final struggle for independ- ence, which was soon to occur in the prairie regions of Central Alabama. The regiment remained quietly in camp,’ now at Verona, for several days refitting and shoeing horses; and on February 21 held a mass-meeting to give expression to their de- termination to fight to the bitter end the com- monenemy. This meeting was presided over by Surgeon C. K. Caruthers, with Lieut. O. 8. Rice and Sergt. John W. Shelton as Secreta- ries. The Committeee on Resolutions were Capts. L. W. Taliaferro, F. F. Aden, and C. H. Jones, Lieut. H. F. Sale, and Corp. W. T. Ulyrick. Addresses were made by Capt. Taliaferro and Lieut. H. J. Livingston and others. The Committee on Resolutions reported, with appropriate preambles, the following res- olutions, which were adopted, and are here given in part as illustrative of the spirit of the regiment at that late period of the war: 1. Resolved, That we have every confidence in our ability to defeat the efforts of our enemy, expel his armies, frustrate his purposes, and ultimately gain liberty and independence. The Seventh Tennessee Cavalry. 133 2. That, as we value our rights and institutions and the long-cherished principles of our government, we are still resolute and determined to fight for them to the last, and risk our all in their defense. 3. That we are determined to gain our independ- ence, and to rely upon our arms until it is achieved; and we counsel our people and comrades to take cour- age and fresh resolution; and we do invite our citi- zens to co-operate with us to encourage our men to come to the field, and to discourage desertion, to raise supplies for our armies, and to give all aid and sup- port to the common cause. And we appeal to the fair women of the South to continue to employ their influence in behalf of their beloved country; to con- tinue to merit the praise and honor awarded them by our brave soldiers for their devotion and fidelity to our cause, and for the patience, constancy, and for- titude with which they have adhered to it; and we earnestly beseech them to discountenance and frown upon those of our countrymen who have deserted our cause, or refused to come to its defense in this hour of peril. The following additional resolutions were offered by Lieut. Livingston, and unanimously adopted : Resolved, That in the impending struggle for na- tional independence our whole available resources should be brought into the field; and we view with a mingled feeling of pity and contempt that class of so- _ called Confederate officers and ‘soldiers (more prop- erly styled “non-combatants”) who cowardly hide 1384 The Seventh Tennessee Cavalry. themselves behind “bomb-proof” positions far in the rear, and who are ever ready to hear the news from the front, and criticise the movements of our generals upon the field; and the thousands of others who, to avoid the dangers incident to the regular service, are resorting to the guerrilla service, committing every character of depredation upon our citizens, and briging shame and disgrace upon our noble cause; and we earnestly call upon our authorities to use every practicable means to abate this nuisance. The following was offered by Capt. F. F. Aden, and adopted: Resolved, That, although we are not fully convinced of the expediency of enlisting and arming slaves for the service, we will, nevertheless, cheerfully acquiesce in the policy of our government upon the subject, whatever that may be; and at the same time, are ful- ly persuaded that they might be made available oth- erwise in strengthening and rendering more efficient the armies which have been so long submitted to the privations, hardships, and even menial positions of the camp and field. We would, therefore, respectfully call the attention of our President and Congress to the practicability of relieving with this element de- tails of able-bodied men, already made from the ranks, as the teamsters, cooks, etc.; and for further providing for the comfort and efficiency of white sol- diers by furnishing them with such servants as they actually need for the performance of those menial services which, in addition to the regular duties of the soldier, frequently become onerous and exhaust- ing. The Seventh Tennessee Cavalry. 1385 The following was offered by Corp. E. 8. Austin, and unanimously adopted: Resolved, That we look back with honest pride upon the achievements of this cavalry corps within the last ‘twelve months under the command of our noble chief- tain, Maj.-Gen. Forrest, and do again pledge him our hearty co-operation in his every effort to drive the hireling from our beloved country. About March 1, 1865, the regiment was as- signed to Brig.-Gen. A. W. Campbell’s Brigade in Jackson’s Division; and on March 17 was at West Point, Miss. On March 27 the regiment was put in motion for Selma to meet the “ Wil- son Raid.” On the 28th the regiment was at Columbus ; on the 29th at Pickensville; on the 30th at Tuscaloosa; and on the 31st encountered La Grange’s Brigade eighteen miles from Tus- caloosa, and, after a slight skirmish with that command, rested on their arms. Early on April 1 the command again attacked them to the north of the Tuscaloosa and Scottsville road (a part of Company A being in the fight), and bore them back for fifteen miles up the mountain road, prostrating many of the horses in the regiment and brigade. After the chase, the enemy (except a few troopers) escaping, the regiment moved back toward 136 The Seventh Tennessee Cavalry. Scottsville by a short road, and about dark encountered Croxton’s Division eight miles north of Scottsville. After a skirmish both sides bivouacked; and about daylight the Confederates again assailed Croxton at the junction of the Scottsville and Tuscaloosa roads, and drove him rapidly, after a sharp fight in a lane, into and through Scottsville and onward to Centerville, on the Cahaw- ba, over which stream the bridge, after a stout effort to prevent them, was burned by the enemy. From the opposite bank they then threw a few shells at three mem- bers of Company A, who were sitting on their horses a half-mile away, which were the last guns fired at the regiment during the war. The war was now practically over. In a few days Lee surrendered at Appomat- tox, and then Joe Johnston at Goldsboro. On the 26th of April Gen. Dick Taylor surren- dered the troops in his department, and the regiment was marched to Gainesville, Ala., to be paroled. When the determination of the commander was made known tothe men, they were bowed down with unutterable grief. The strong men who had thrown themselves with the fiery en- The Seventh Tennessee Cavalry. 137 ergy of Rupert into the vortex of battle, who had hurled back the charge at Prairie Mound, penetrated the serried lines at Tishomingo Creek, and breasted the sleety storm from the intrenchments at Harrisburg now drew back in terror from the ignominy of passing under the conqueror’s yoke, though it were to peace and rest beyond. They gathered in groups under the forest-trees at Gainesville, and in low tones told of their despair. Many wept like children. Then came reaction; a sudden fever seemed to seize the men. There were their arms and horses. They would go to the Trans-Mississippi Department and continue the struggle for Southern inde- pendence. But Gen. Forrest said: ‘ No.” What could not be accomplished here could never be done in the thinly settled. West. Again despair seized the men. But they soon became calm as they realized the hopeless- ness of their cause; and, with the grim deter- mination which had carried them so gloriously through the war, they decided to go home and to face the consequences, whatever they might be. But the old flag—bullet-torn and dim, whose blue cross had been triumphantly borne aloft for years at the cost of so much blood and valor—they would never part with that. 138 The Seventh Tennessee Cavalry. On the eve of surrender, as the shadows of night fell, the men reverently gathered round the staff in front of regimental head-quarters, and, tearing the silk into fragments, each con- cealed in his jacket, next his heart, a bit of the coveted treasure. The flag had been the gift of a young lady of Aberdeen, Miss., made from her dress, and had never for an instant been abandoned by the men of the Seventh after it was committed to their guardianship. On May 11 the men received their parole, a copy of one of which is here given as fol- lows: No. 68. GAINESVILLE, ALA., May 11, 1865. Private John P. Young, of A Company, Seventh Cavalry Regiment Tennessee Volunteers, C. S. A., residing in Memphis, Tenn., having been with the ap- proval of the proper authorities paroled, is permitted to return to his home, not to be disturbed by the United States authorities so long as he observes his parole and the law in force where he may reside. By order of Maj.-Gen. E. R. S. Canby, U. 8. A. E. 8S. DEynis, Brig.-Gen. Vols. Com. for U. §. This paper contained the following indorse- ment: I certify on honor that Private John P. Young is in good faith the true owner of one horse. J. W. SNEED, Captain Commanding Company. The Seventh Tennessee Cavalry. 139 These paroles were universally observed by the men with the same soldierly sincerity that distinguished them during the war; and all the survivors are to-day, so far as known, hon- orable, and not a few of them distinguished citizens of a happy and reunited country. The men, by the terms of their paroles hav- ing been allowed to retain their horses, which, under the organization of the Confederate cavalry were their own property, at once prepared to start forhome. Ten men of Com- pany A volunteered to remain with Gen. W. H. Jackson, Commissioner on the part of the Confederate authorities for paroling the troops, in order that he might not be deprived of proper and needed assistance in his duties, and the remainder of the regiment, after many a sad farewell and friendly grasp of the hand as old comrades parted, turned their horses’ heads homeward, and for the last time rode out of camp. Thus, on May 12, 1865, ended the career of the Seventh Tennessee Cavalry. CHAPTER VI. DETACHED SERVICE OF CompaANy A UNDER GEN. JACKSON. In the spring of 1863 Company A, still on detached duty as an escort to Brig.-Gen. W. H. Jackson, went with that commander to Central Mississippi, where during that sum- mer they operated in conjunction with Gens. Pemberton and Joe Johnston’s command, in the vicinity of Vicksburg and Jackson, and along the line of the Big Black River. The men were constantly exposed during this cam- paign to arduous courier and picket duty, From there they went with Gen. Jackson to Georgia, and took part in the campaign against Sherman in his march to Atlanta. To write a complete narrative of the movements of the company during this period would require al- most the space occupied by the foregoing his- tory of the regiment, and will not be attempt- ed here. From the Atlanta lines the compa- ny accompanied Hood on his march to the Tennessee River, going by way of Cedartown, Ga.; Gadsden, Asheville, and Blountsville, Ala., to Tuscumbia. The succeeding events The Seventh Tennessee Cavalry. 141 occurring during the disastrous raid of Hood’s army into Middle Tennessee, and the terrible winter retreat from Nashville, will be given in greater detail. On November 10, 1864, the company, arriv- ing from Georgia with Jackson’s Division, crossed the Tennessee River at Tuscumbia Landing, and went into camp at Florence, about a mile from town, on the old military road or Indian trail. Here it remained en- camped and getting ready for the coming campaign, until November 20. Jackson’s Di- vision was here merged again with Gen. For- rest’s command, and the company for the first time in nearly two years came back into the same command with the regiment. Though not again amalgamated with the regiment, it was destined from this time to the close of the war to serve in immediate company with their old commander, Lieut.-Col. Taylor. On No- vember 20 the movement into Tennessee by Hood was begun; and the company, habitu- ally in advance with their general, took an active part in ali the movements of that terrible and disastrous campaign. While doing duty as an escort to General Jack- son, it was often actively engaged with the en- emy; and the men individually, as daily de- 142 The Seventh Tennessee Cavalry. tailed for courier duty, suffered much from exposure, but had a splendid opportunity of witnessing all the grand tactics of that wintery struggle, amid the rocky hills and valleys of Middle Tennessee. November 20 the company took the road northward toward Lawrenceburg, in a cold, steady rain. On the same night the weather be- gan to change, and on the 21st made good roads by reason of the hard freeze. On the 22d the company rode into Lawrenceburg in the even- ing behind the charging columns of Arm- strong’s Brigade, and complacently made their supper off the abandoned rations of the retreat- ing Federals, still simmering on the camp- fires. Remaining here next day, on the 24th they moved north-eastward to Campbellsville, and took part inthe assault on Hatch’s Divis- ion at that place in the afternoon. Just as the Federal retreat began the company, which was supporting a section of Young's Battery in plain view of the enemy, was ordered to charge, and immediately rushed headlong down the long slope in line. No enemy was seen by the men, but several were supposed to be out toward the left flank in the direction it was charging, and the men went forward with great spirit, but were soon recalled. No The Seventh Tennessee Cavalry. 143 casualty occurred, except the fall of Private John Marton from his horse. The company then followed the retreating Federals, camping that night near Campbellsville. The men next day made a long march to Columbia, and camped at the Granville Pillow place, near that city. Remaining here until the 27th on the skirmish line, the company was marched east- ward several miles, to Fountain Creek; and on the 27th moved rapidly to Hall’s Mill, on Duck River, which it forded under a skirmish fire from the opposite bank, many of the horses swimming. Then, turning eastward again, the men were in immediate contact with the enemy all the way to the Lewisburg and Franklin turnpike, where the enemy were at- tacked and driven off from the ford by Ross’s Brigade, of Johnson’s Division. After night- fall a brigade of the enemy, which had been cut off at the ford, made an attack suddenly on the men of Ross’s command, who, unaware of their presence, were cooking supper. It was a genuine surprise, and Privates Matthews, Young, and Watts, of the company, were caught by the head of the Federal column and borne back nearly a mile between two rock fences before they could shake off their unwel- come visitors and escape into the field. Next 144 The Seventh Tennessee Cavalry. day the company was in the advance, all day, of an exciting chase, and near Hunt’s Cross Roads made a dashing charge on the enemy’s rear for a mile. This brought up suddenly before some rail-piles. Part of the company made a detour here, while the remainder stood for half an hour under the fire of the enemy’s skirmish line without firing a gun, a pretty se- vere strain. Private F. M. Nelson, of the flank- ing party, soon after became entangled in the enemy’s mounted pickets, and was severely hammered with a saber by one of them, who was at length shot and killed by Private James Tate with a pistol. At Mount Carmel Church the enemy again made a stand behind rail-piles, but were driv- en off by the three divisions of Gen. Forrest’s command, and the pursuit recommenced to- ward Spring Hill, to the westward five miles, the company still in the advance. At the lat- ter place the pursuit was brought to a stand in front of the enemy’s infantry, under Gen. Stanley, whom Hood’s command was attack-. ing. At midnight the enemy retired, and the company being on the right flank, resumed the pursuit in the darkness. About 4 P.M. the next day the company came out in front of the enemy’s line at Franklin, and formed immedi-. The Seventh Tennessee Cavalry. 145 ately in the rear of Loring’s Division of Stew- art’s Corps. When, a few minutes later, that command moved forward in the charge, the company was galloped rightward to a ford over Harpeth River, and there took part in the attack on the defenses of the enemy’s left flank north of the river. An hour later, when Jackson’s Division, out of ammunition, retired across the Harpeth, the company was, by or- der of Gen. Jackson, formed at the ford by Gen. Frank C. Armstrong, and ordered to hold the position against all comers. The enemy’s infantry advanced, but did not attack, evi- dently unaware of the weakness of the little squadron at the ford, and the army was saved from a serious flank movement in the dark- ness. Next day (December 1) the pursuit was recommenced at dawn, and the company was kept well up in advance. About noon the company, in conjunction with Ross’s Brigade, was pushed on the enemy’s rear and subjected to a severe shelling by a battery, which they received, mounted, without breaking or retir- ing an inch—an unusual stand for cavalry. At night it came alongside a big Federal en- campment, who were foraging in a corn-field, and came near being entangled in the enemy’s 10 146 The Seventh Tennessee Cavalry. lines unawares; but the latter, catching the alarm from the firing of some scouts, hastily mounted and moved into Nashville. Next day (the 2d) the company moved up in plain view of Nashville, and for several hours watched the reduction by Morton’s guns of some block-houses on the Chattanooga rail- road. December 3 and 4 the company remained in camp on the cold, snow-covered hills, and on the 5th was marched to Murfreesboro, being detailed that afternoon to receive charge of the surrendered fortalice at La Vergne, with the 80 prisoners captured there. December 6 the company remained in camp near Murfreesboro and the Nashville pike. December 7 the company took part in repulsing the sortie of the enemy, and later were ordered to form in the rear of Bate’s stampeded men, on Hurricane Creek, and as- sist in checking their flight. The next six days were spent in camp near William Bass’s place, four miles from the town. The weath- er was bitter cold. December 14 the company marched around Murfreesboro to the Shelbyville pike, and was engaged in the maneuvers and skirmishes in that quarter; and the same night stood guard The Seventh Tennessee Cavalry. 147 for the division in front of a force of the enemy working along the railroad from Chattanooga, which was captured before day by Ross’s men, with a railroad train which they were guarding. On the next day the men were en- gaged in maneuvering and skirmishing with a force of the enemy from Murfreesboro com- ing to the relief of the captured train. All day the men heard the guns at Nashville, and grew very anxious about the result of the battle. The company, in the evening, was marched rapidly back to the northward of Murfreesboro, and encamped near the Wil- kerson turnpike. At midnight it was aroused by the news of Hood’s defeat at Nashville, and an hour later commenced, in the bitter cold and sleet, the mournful retreat toward Co- lumbia. The following three days were days of terrible exposure and suffering. The in- fantry, in large part, were barefooted and the cavalry scantily provided with clothing; and no one who took part in it will ever forget that terrible retreat by way of Triune and Eaglesville to Columbia, where it was hoped to get in with Hood’s beaten army before they crossed Duck River. This was happily ac- complished, and the company, half frozen by the terrible cold of the night of December 19, 148 The Seventh Tennessee Cavalry. safely crossed the river and encamped at War- field’s, four miles south of Columbia. Here they remained until December 22, when, the enemy having forced the passage of Duck River, the rear-guard under Forrest, and con- sisting of 1,600 infantry and 1,200 cavalry, commenced falling back. The company was in the rear during the long retreat which fol- lowed to the Tennessee River, and suffered the greatest hardships and privations, being reduced to not more than 15 men for duty by ‘the exigences of that terrible winter march and combat. Falling back slowly before the enemy, and fighting incessantly, Forrest kept Thomas’s grand army in check for six long wintery days. On the 24th the company was engaged in the combat at Richland Creek, and a detail of eight men being made by Gen. Forrest to burn the bridge over that stream, came very near being captured, and only escaped the charge of the mounted enemy by a tremen- dous run on foot for half a mile. Just north of the creek, in the afternoon, the company lost the gallant Lieut. Henry W. Watkins, who was struck down by a cannon-shot while standing in front of the company. The same shot cut off the leg of Private George Rainey’s The Seventh Tennessee Cavalry. 149 horse. Camping that night in Pulaski, the company moved out next morning, and in the afternoon took part in the fierce combat at Anthony’s Hill, which was disastrous to the enemy. Marching all that night in the sleet and rain, over icy roads, the company crossed Sugar Creek at dawn, and a few minutes later watched the disastrous and final repulse of the enemy by the infantry on the banks of that stream. Another day’s march brought them to the Tennessee River, which the com- pany crossed on a sSleet-covered poonton bridge at midnight of December 27, and by morning were at rest at the little village of Bainbridge, Ala. The sufferings of the men from hunger and exposure during that terri- ble retreat cannot be described, and the hero- ism and endurance of the little rear-guard surpassed the story of Napoleon’s retreat from Moscow. The company then proceeded by easy marches by way of Tuscumbia, Burns- ville, Saltillo, and Tupelo to Verona, Miss., where, on January 25, 1865, they were fur- loughed for two weeks to revisit their homes, and remount and refit. Re-assembling at Verona by February 15, 1865, the men remained here in camp for some days, and after a short march to the vicinity 150 The Seventh Tennessee Cavalry. of Saltillo to meet a supposed Federal raid in that quarter, the company went to West Point, Miss., where Gen. Jackson was placed in com- mand of the “Tennessee Division” of Lieut.- Gen. Forrest’s Cavalry Corps; and the com- pany, after a separation of more than two years, was returned into the same division with the regiment, being still on duty as an escort or courier company for Gen. Jackson. Toward the last of March the company ac- companied the division in its march down into Alabama to meet the “Wilson Raid,” then moving by way of Montevallo upon Selma, the Confederate depot of supplies and muni- tions of war. Moving by way of Columbus, Pickensville, and Tuscaloosa, the ¢ompany took part with the regiment in the skirmishes with La Grange’s and Croxton’s Federal com- mands at Trion, Scottsville, and Centerville; and marching to Marion on the next day, overtook the remnants of Gen. Forrest’s com- mand escaping from Selma. The last guns fired at the regiment during the war were some cannon-shots fired at several members of the company by a Federal battery across the Ca- hawba River at Centerville, April 2, 1865. After short encampments at Greensboro, Eutaw, and Sumterville, Ala., the company The Seventh Tennessee Cavalry. 151 assembled with the regiment at Gainesville, where, on May 12, 1865, they were surren- dered and paroled. Most of the men left at once for their homes, a few remaining with Gen. Jackson, who was the Confederate com- missioner to complete the paroling of the men of Forrest’s command at Gainesville, and after- ward at Columbus, Miss.

J. D. Powe t. J. D. Powell was born at Paris, Tenn., December 29, 1833; and died at his home, near Collierville, Tenn., on September 10, 1912, leaving a widow and four children. He enlisted in Company C, 4th Tennessee Infantry, in April and was sworn into service on May 15, 1861. From that company he was transferred to the quartermaster’s department, where he served until the fall of 1864, when he joined the 7th Tennes- see Cavalry, Forrest’s old regiment. His record in the serv- ice was that of a brave and faithful soldier. Circuit Court OF SHELBY COUNTY FIFTEENTH JUDICIAL CIRCUIT OF TENNESSEE Circuit Court oF SHELBY COUNTY JUDGE DIVISION I Confederate Veteran. SEVENTH TENNESSEE CAVALRY. BY COL. w. L. DUCKWORTH, BROWNSVILLE, TENN. To the communication in the June (1908) VETERAN, page 268, signed by R. J. Black, Memphis, Tenn., I feel impelled to make reply. With his narrative as a whole I shall have nothing to do. It is the closing sentence only with which I wish to deal— namely, “Col. W. F. Taylor commanded the 7th Tennessee to the close of the war.”
