(3-YEARS)
Fifth Cavalry. -- Cols., Hampton P. Johnson, Powell Clayton
Lieut.-Cols., John Ritchie, Powell Clayton, Wilton A. Jenkins,
Thomas. W. Scudder; Majs., James H. Summers, Wilton A.
Jenkins' S. E. Hoffman, Samuel Walker, Thomas W. Scudder,
Stephen R. Harrington.
This regiment was mustered into the U. S. service at Camp
Denver, near Barnesville, Dec. 31, 1861, for three years.
Prior to its regular organization and muster in on the above
date, portions of the command saw considerable active service.
Cos. A; and F formed part of the expedition to Harrisonville,
Mo., under command of Col. Weer of the 4th Kan. and upon
returning to Kansas City escorted a supply train to Fort
Scott, where Cos. B. C and E, and two infantry companies
joined them and Col. Johnson took command of the regiment.
It took part in a number of skirmishes around Fort Scott and
lost a few men wounded. In a gallant charge at Morristown,
Mo., Sept. 17, Col. Johnson fell at the head of his men,
pierced by nine bullets. Later the regiment was engaged with
Price's force at Osceola and West Point, Mo., as a part of
Lane's brigade, then joined the army under Gen. Fremont for a
time, but finally returned to Kansas and went into winter
quarters at Barnesville.
Col. Powell Clayton assumed command of the regiment in Feb.,
1862, and the organization rapidly improved in discipline and
efficiency under his able management. From April 10 to May 25
it was stationed at Springfield, Mo., and became very
proficient in drill.
The regiment was then ordered to join the Army of the
Southwest near Helena, Ark. A detachment of 150 men under
Capt. Creitz, escorting the regimental train engaged the enemy
with loss at Salem, Ark., at the crossing of the Black River
near Jacksonport, and received warm commendation from Gen.
Osterhaus for their bravery and skill in bringing the train
safely through.
The regiment remained in the vicinity of Helena until Aug.
1863, and while there was engaged in numerous expeditions,
almost daily skirmishing with the enemy's cavalry. A list of
its engagements during this period includes Trenton,
Parkersville, Oakland, Little Rock road, Mount Vernon, Polk's
plantation, and two actions at Helena.
In the battle of Helena, July 4, the 5th fought from sunrise
until 2 p. m. against Marmaduke's cavalry, finally routing it
with great loss. On Aug. 15 the regiment started for Little
Rock as a part of Gen. Steele's expedition and was engaged at
Brownsville and Little Rock.
On Sept. 14, it was ordered to Pine Bluff, fought a sharp
engagement with Marmaduke's outpost at Tulip early in October
and gained a brilliant victory. Col. Clayton had command of
the post at Pine Bluff and with his force of about 600 men
successfully defended the place against an attack by Gen.
Marmaduke with 3,000 men and 12 pieces of artillery. The loss
of the 5th was 27 killed wounded and missing.
The regiment was again engaged in Jan., 1864, with Shelby's
forces at Branchville, skirmished at Mount Elba, and late in
March participated in the engagements with the enemy under
Gen. Dockery, at Monticello, Long View and Mount Elba, which
resulted in driving the Confederates from the country between
the Mississippi and Saline rivers and the capture of several
hundred prisoners.
After the disastrous ending of Gen. Banks' Red River
expedition; Steele's army was forced to retreat and abandon
the region south of the Arkansas River. In April, 1864, a
portion of the 5th shared in the disaster at Marks' Mills,
where Steele's train was captured, the loss of the regiment
being 5 killed, 7 wounded and 44 captured.
The last important engagement of the 5th was at the Warren
cross-roads with a brigade of Texas cavalry, where it lost 1
killed, 4 wounded and 1 missing. During the remainder of its
active service the regiment was occupied in scouting,
picketing and the usual arduous duties of a cavalry regiment,
but sustained few additional losses.
A part of the regiment was mustered out in Dec., 1864, at
Leavenworth, and the rest at Devall's Bluff, Ark., in June,
1865. The services rendered by this gallant regiment were
second to none sent into the field by Kansas.
Its losses were 2 officers and 51 men, killed or mortally
wounded, 2 officers, 219 men died of disease and other causes.
It numbered 900 officers and men when it first took the field
in 1862, and had a total strength during service of 1,320.
