Fourth Cavalry. -- Lieut.-Col., Jacob M. Thornburgh, Majs.,
Meshack Stephens, Luther M. Blackman.
This regiment was organized from East Tennessee refugees at
Cumberland Gap in July, 1862, and entered the field under the
command of Lieut.-Col. Thornburgh. After leaving that place
it followed the course of the other regiments of Gen. Morgan's
command and reached Nashville Jan. 26, 1863.
At that place and Murfreesboro it did post and scout service
during the remainder of the year. It then went with Gen.
Smith on his expedition into Mississippi, returning to
Nashville March 18, 1864.
On June 19 it was ordered to Decatur, Ala., and in July
marched with Gen. Rousseau on his raid through Alabama,
reaching Marietta, GA, on the 23rd of that month. It then
accompanied Gen. McCook on a raid south and west of Atlanta,
in which it lost nearly all its horses and arms in crossing
the Chattahoochee River.
On Aug. 10 it returned to Decatur, Ala., and was assigned to
post and scout duty under Gen. Granger until the 19th of that
month, when it was ordered to Nashville. On Nov. 27 it
advanced to meet Gen. Hood and participated in nearly all the
battles of that campaign.
It was then ordered to the Gulf Department and accompanied
Gen. Canby through the Mobile campaign, after which it went to
Baton Rouge. It arrived at Nashville June 12, 1865.
Co. C was detached from Dec. 1863, to April, 1864, for duty at
the headquarters of the 12th army corps at Tullahoma. The
other companies served without intermission with the regiment,
which was mustered out of service Aug. 14, 1865, in accordance
with orders from the war department.
