THIRTY-SEVENTH INFANTRY.

This regiment was known as the "Gray Beard Regiment," from the fact that nearly or quite every member was over forty-five years of age. The regiment was formed during the Summer of 1862.

The Thirty-seventh was assigned to guard duty at St. Louis, afterward at Alton, then at Rock Island. From there it went to Memphis, Tenn., and Holly Spring, Ark., where regular duty was performed. It was in numerous skirmishes, but no battles. No man from Linn County was killed in an engagement. By doing duty as guards of rebel prisoners, the Thirty-seventh relieved another regiment of younger men. It was in the service about three years, but our informant, Mr. Hergeshamer, private in Company A, is unable to give exact dates.

FIRST CAVALRY.

The First Cavalry was recruited during the Summer of 1861. Its services began during the following Winter. Its first action was at Silver Creek, Mo., where the rebel camp was attacked and routed. In February, 1862, a detachment from the First helped surprise and capture Gen. Price at Warsaw. Another detachment had a brush with guerrillas near Montevallo in the following April. During the next few months, the regiment had skirmishes with rebels near Clinton, Big Creek, Clear Creek and Newtonia. December 7th, the first and third battalions participated in the battte at Prairie Grove. That month the command assisted at the capture of Van Buren, where a number of steamboats, several hundred prisoners and a large amount of steres fell into the hands of our forces. April 26, 1863, the most of the regiment was concerned in a night attack upon a portion of Marmaduke's forces, breaking up the camp and inflicting heavy loss.

August 26th and 27th, the regiment did gallant service at White River. From September 10th until the following January, the First was stationod at Little Rock. April 24, 1864, the command repulsed a charge of the enemy at Mono River, and had a share in the battle at Jenkins' Ferry on the 30th. The regiment continued doing scout service until January, 1865, when they were sent to Dardanelle, and had a brush with Col. Cooper, driving him off the field. They went thence to Pine Bluff, and to Memphis. From this place they made two incursions into Mississippi. After the war closed, much to the disappointment of the men, the regiment was ordered to Texas under Custer. On the route, two or three of the regiment committed some depredations on the inhabitants, contrary to specific orders from Gen. Custer, who was in command. A few of the men were detected and ordered to be flogged. This order created much bitterness of feeling toward Custer, which had hardly disappeared when he met tragic death on the plains.

THIRD BATTERY LIGHT ARTIL

LERY.

[NOTE. This battery was mustered out at Davenport Oct. 3, 1865.]

This battery was organized by Capt. M. M. Hayden under special authority from the Secretary of War, during the months of August and September, 1861, at Dubuque, under the name of the Dubuque Battery, and was attached to the Ninth Regiment Iowa Voluntary Infantry, Col. William Vandever commanding. On the 3d of September, 1861, the first detachment of the battery was mustered in by Capt. Washington, William H. McClure, of Cedar Falls, Iowa, being mustered as First Lieutenant, under whose charge the detachment was placed in Camp Union, near Dubuque.

The battery was speedily filled up by recruits, and on the 24th of the same month the final muster-in as a battery took place, the following officers having been chosen: Captain, M. M. Hayden; Senior First Lieutenant. W. H. McClure; Junior First Lieutenant, M. C. Wright; Senior Second Lieutenant, W. H. Crozier; Junior Second Lieutenant, Jerome Bailey. The battery, with the Ninth Iowa Infantry, left Camp Union, on the steamer Canada, September 26th, for St. Louis. Were immediately marched to Benton Barracks (then in process of completion). Requisitions for guns, horses and harness were made.

On the 13th of November, they were ordered to Pacific City, Mo., where they remained during the greater part of the Winter. Guns and equipments were received about the 1st of December.

The battery consisted of four six-pounder bronze guns and two twelve-pounder howitzers. On the 25th of January, they moved by rail to Rolla, where they were assigned under Gen. Curtis. On the 28th of the same month, they marched from Rolla in the direction of Leb

anon.

February 9th, marched to Springfield, Mo. Participated in the famous race after Price's fleeing army, making some almost unprecedented marches, and ending in the battle of Pea Ridge.

The suddenness of their final attack, with the meagerness of our support, compelled us to leave two of our guns upon the field. These guns. however, were not abandoned until they were spiked, and every horse had been killed and every man serving with them either killed or wounded. We fell back some 400 yards, where, support coming to our aid, we kept up fire with the remaining guns until darkness put an end to the engagement.

Our entire loss in the two days' engagement was two men killed, two officers and fifteen men wounded, twentythree horses killed and three guns captured, and fired, during the engagement, over 1,200 rounds of ammunition. Marched to Batesville, Ark. Arrived at Helena July 12th, and made several reconnaissances from that point. Was in the Little Rock expedition.

In January, 1864, the battery re-enlisted and went home. Returned in May and received new guns and outfit and did efficient service during the rest of the war. Sr. First Lieut. Wm. H. McClure, com. Sept. 16, 1861, wd. at Pea Ridge March 7, 1862, resd. Sept. 3, 1862. Jr. First Lieut. Otis G. Day, e. as sergt. Aug. 3, 1861, prmtd. sr. 2d lieut. May 1, 1862, prmtd, jr. 1st lieut.
