Indiana Infantry Regiment, Company B.
"Jonas B. Goin," his first cousin, had been recruited into the
same organization nine days earlier. At
the beginning of the Civil War, William Neal, a lawyer of adjoining Hamilton
County, Indiana organized the infantry company, and it was assigned to the
Thirty-Eighth Indiana Infantry Regiment.
On October 15, 1863 the regiment was reorganized as the Eighth Indiana
Cavalry Regiment, according to "Report of the
Adjutant General's Office Indiana," Volume 2.
The
report continued:
"In December the regiment was placed on courier duty between Chattanooga and Ringold, and on the 22d of February, 1864, it reenlisted as a Veteran organization. In April the regiment visited Indiana on Veteran furlough, and on returning to the field participated in the Rousseau raid into Alabama.
One battalion of the regiment fought and routed the enemy at
Chehaw Bridge, Alabama. It took part in
the McCook raid around Atlanta, and was the only regiment that preserved its
organization and made a charge on the enemy, routing him and opening the way
for the escape of 1,200 men of McCook's command.
The regiment was next engaged in the Kilpatrick raid in
Georgia, and at the Battle of Lovejoy Station led the charge of the left wing,
riding over Ross' division of rebel cavalry, capturing all of his artillery and
four battle flags. It was subsequently
engaged in the Battles of Jonesboro and Flint River, and in several skirmishes
that followed the capture of Atlanta.
In the campaign against Savannah and through the Carolinas,
it marched with Kilpatrick's command to Savannah and thence to Goldsboro. In this campaign it participated in the
battles and skirmishes at Waynesboro, Buckhead, Church, Browne's Cross Roads,
Reynolds' Farm, Aiken, Bentonville, Averysboro and Raleigh. In the engagement at Averysboro this regiment,
under Col. Jones, charged and routed Rhett's South Carolina brigade of
infantry, which outnumbered it ten to one. The Eighth Cavalry lost 14 killed
and 59nine wounded.
A detachment of the regiment, left behind in Tennessee,
fought Wheeler at Franklin and at several other places, and, also, had a severe
engagement with Forrest at Pulaski, Tennessee.
After the occupation of a portion of North Carolina by
Sherman's army, and just before the negotiations were opened between Johnson
and Sherman, the Eighth Cavalry whipped Hampton's entire force at Morrisville,
and thus had the honor of fighting the last battle with the enemy in that
State. The regiment remained on duty in
North Carolina until July 20, 1865, when it was mustered out of service, and
soon after started for home.
Reaching Indianapolis during the last week of July, it was
present at a public reception given to returned troops on the Capitol grounds
on the 31st of July, at which speeches were made by Lt. Gov. Conrad Baker and
Gen. Hovey, and in a few days afterward, the regiment was finally discharged.
The regiment, during its term of service, has borne on it's
rolls 2,500 men, and has had nine officers killed in battle. It has lost about three hundred in
prisoners, and captured from the enemy over 1,500 men, one 1,000 stand of arms,
three railroad trains, 1,400 horses and mules, many wagons, 14 pieces of
artillery, four battle flags, and destroyed many miles of railroad."
