Nicholas; Lieut.- Cols., Thomas B. Cochran, Elijah S. Watts, William H. Eifort, Owen Starr, Majs., Henry E. Collins, Jesse J. Craddock, Joseph T. Foreman, Robert M. Gilmore, William H. Lower. This regiment was mustered into service Sept. 9, 1861, at Camp Jo. Holt, Ind., and at once took the field, where it remained on constant active duty, always at the front for almost full four years. Some weeks were spent at Muldraugh's Hill, guarding the trestles on the Louisville & Nashville railroad south of Colesburg, and in the advance to Elizabethtown, Camp Nevin and Camp Wood. In February and March, 1862, it was employed in scouting and on guard duty along the railroad, being assigned to McCook's division of Buell's army. The regiment accompanied Buell from Nashville to Pittsburg landing, took part in the second day's battle of Shiloh and followed in pursuit of the Confederates to Corinth. When Buell's army entered upon its march to Kentucky, the regiment moved with it, being engaged in scouting, reconnoitering and skirmishing with the enemy. It led the way from Louisville out the Bardstown pike and soon began skirmishing with the enemy's cavalry. One of these skirmishes was at Hay's spring, 10 miles from Louisville, and another at Mt. Washington. On the march to Perryville it had several encounters. Near Bardstown in a charge upon the enemy it suffered in killed and wounded, and in a counter charge Maj. Watts, Capt. Bateman and Lieut. Arthur were captured. Reaching Perryville, it participated in that battle and its services are honorably mentioned in the reports, particularly those of Gens. McCook and Rousseau. From Perryville the regiment engaged in the pursuit of Bragg, scouting and skirmishing. It then marched to Nashville, performing guard duty on the way. It was severely engaged at the battle of Murfreesboro, and suffered serious losses. In the months following it was constantly at the front, moving from place to place in Tennessee and Alabama. In Gen. Crook's report of the operation of his cavalry division during the month of Sept., 1863, his force at Crawfish springs, he says, consisted of Col. Eli Long's brigade only, and in the severe fight which occurred he states the loss of the 2nd Ky. cavalry at 11 killed and 50 wounded, among the latter being Adjt. Griffith, Lieut. E. B. Agers, Capt. Charles A. Zackary and Lieut. B. P. Brooks. In Long's brigade, the regiment led the advance of Sherman's relieving column and approached Knoxville from the direction of Maryville. After the siege was raised it returned and spent the winter at Bridgeport, Ala., Lieut.-Col. Watts being in command. At that place the regiment reenlisted and was assigned to Kilpatrick's division of Gen. Elliott's cavalry corps, organized for the opening of the Atlanta campaign of 1864. It entered upon the first stages of that campaign, taking part in the advance to Rocky Face Ridge, Ringgold, Buzzard Roost, Taylor's Ridge and Dalton. It was then ordered to Nashville, where it reported to Gen. Rousseau. With a force of cavalry, including the 2nd Ky., then commanded by Maj. Owen Starr, Rousseau proceeded to Decatur, Ala., and starting from there July 10, 1864, he traversed 300 miles in 9 days, going as far south as Montgomery, destroying many miles of railroad, large military stores and depots of supplies. He proceeded 100 miles south of Johnston's army and safely joined Sherman in Georgia. With the cavalry the regiment led the way through to Savannah fighting and skirmishing at many points. In Sherman's march across tie Carolinas it was engaged in many encounters, notably at Sister's ferry, Bentonville and Averasboro. On July 17, 1865, four years from the time it had first organized at Camp Jo. Holt, the regiment was mustered out at Lexington, N. C.
