ACCOUNT OF THE REGIMENT.

From the time the regiment was mustered into service, on the 1st of October, until the 6th of December, 1863, it was under drill at Camp Shanks, and otherwise instructed in the arts of war. At the latter date, it left Indianapolis for Louisville, Ky., going thence to Union City, Tenn., into camp, and was there assigned to duty in the First Brigade, Sixth Division of the Sixteenth Army Corps, Brig. Gen. B. H. Grierson commanding the cavalry. Afterward, it took up the line of march, under Gen. A. J. Smith, into Northern Mississippi. On the 24th of December, it moved forward to cut off the retreat of Gen. Forrest from Jackson, Tenn. The march was a dreadfully severe one, the thermometer not infrequently ranging below zero--a very low temperature for that latitude. Repulsing the enemy at Paris, Tenn., a sharp fight took place at Egypt Station, Miss., and afterward, on the 22d of February, 1864, the battle of Okalona, Miss., was fought, lasting all day. The loss of the regiment was eighty-four in killed, wounded and missing. The result was defeat of the Unionists at that point, who returned, afterward, to Memphis. On the 10th of June following, the battle of Guntown was fought, resulting in a disastrous defeat to the Union cause. In this engagement, the loss of the regiment was forty. From the scene of this action, the regiment moved to Vicksburg, and took part in the engagement on the 4th of July, 1864, and that at Fort Gibson on the 13th; and again, in the fight at La Mavoo, Miss., on the 18th August, 1864. In the vicinity of Memphis, on the 4th of October, 1864, seven members of the regiment were killed by guerrillas. Soon after this, the regiment pursued Gen. Price through Arkansas and Missouri, subsequently returning to Memphis by the way of St. Louis. From December 21, 1864, to January 5, 1865, this branch of the army was with Gen. Grierson in his raid through Mississippi, capturing Forrest's camp, at Vernon, December 25, and destroying great quantities of rebel stores, sixteen railroad cars laden with pontoons for Gen. Hood, and 4,000 new English carbines. On the 28th of December, at Egypt, the rebels were attacked and dispersed, and fourteen cars destroyed. The expedition reached Vicksburg on the 5th of January, 1865, and, soon after, another one was formed, penetrating Louisianna, January 26, routing the enemy's forces stationed near Bayon Bartholomew, and then returning to Memphis, whence it proceeded to Alexndra, La., early in June. Here, on the 21st of July, 1865, the regiment was consolidated into six companies, and afterward proceeded to Hempstead, Tex. About this time, the spring of 1865, while the steamer Sultana was ascending the Mississippi River, overcrowded with soldiers and other members of the regiment returning from rebel prisons, several of them were lost. On the 10th of October, Lieut. Col. Thomas M. Brown was promoted to Colonel, and assumed Command of the regiment. At Austin, Tex., on the 18th of february, 1866, the regiment was mustered out, and, on the 13 of March, the resicue of the regiment, consisting of 20 officers and 378 men, arrived at Indianapolis, where they were finally discharged.

In the meantime, it had entered the Forrest and Wheeler campaigns, and participated in the engagement at Sulphur Branch trestle, in Alabama, on the 25th of September, suffering a loss of one hundred and twenty killed, wounded, missing and prisoners. At the opening of Hood's campaign, the regiment was fully mounted and sent to the front, engaging with Forrest's Cavalry, December 17, 1864, in which it lost twenty-six of its number. After this engagement, the regiment was encamped at Gravelly Springs, Ala., from January 16 to February 6, 1865, being afterward sent to New Orleans on transports, arrivint at that place on the 25th of March. At New Orleans they turned over their horses, and went by steamer to Vicksburg, arriving there March 25, doing post duty at that point until the 3d of May following, when, being remounted, it was stationed at various places in Mississippi, moving, on the 22d of May to Vicksburg, to be mustered out. The regiment was mustered out accordingly, on the 28th of August, 1865, and reached Indianapolis, September 5, where, with other regiments, a public reception was given the following day. A few days later it was finally discharged, and the men sent to their respective homes. At first the regiment was 1,267 strong. On returning, it numbered 386 officers and men. Fifty-seven were lost on the steamer Sultana, in the Mississippi River, by the explosion of a boiler.
