Regimental History
Eighth Cavalry IOWA
(3 YEARS)
Eighth Cavalry. Cols., Joseph B. Dorr, Horatio G. Barner;
Lieut.-Col., Horatio G. Barner, Majs., J. J. Brown, James D.
Thompson, A. J. Price, Richard Root, John H. Isett, E. Shurtz,
J. W. Moore, John Dance, George W. Burns.
The 8th cavalry saw little of real war until the spring of
1864, when it started with Sherman in the celebrated campaign
for Atlanta. The regiment had been organized late in the
previous autumn at Davenport. It left Iowa in the middle of
October and by the middle of November was stationed at Waverly
and other points west of Nashville, Tenn., where it remained
on guard and garrison duty all the winter, with little
opportunity for showing the pluck of its soldiers and no
chance at all for distinction.
May-day, 1864, brought on the new campaign, and the 8th IA was
made a part of the 1st brigade of McCook's division of
cavalry. In all that arduous campaign the regiment was
constantly at the front, and when the Confederates, after
weeks of constant skirmishing and battles, at last fell back
behind the Chattahoochee, the 8th Iowa cavalry was the first
troop across the river after them. So the fighting and the
skirmishing went on around Atlanta, and then came that
luckless raid of Gen. McCook's to the Macon railroad, in which
the regiment was captured near Newnan, only a few escaping
through the woods to tell how heroically the command had tried
to save itself.
The late autumn found Col. Dorr exchanged, and with his
regiment, again ready for battle against Gen. Hood, who was
then invading Tennessee. It was engaged near Franklin, but
quietly fell back with the main army to take an important part
in the great battle and victory of Nashville. It participated
in a charge on the first day of the battle and in the rapid
pursuit of Hood, in which the whole Confederate army was
nearly annihilated, the 8th cavalry did its full share of hard
riding.
Late in March, 1865, the regiment was at Chickasaw, Ala.,
eager to join the other Iowa cavalry there in the grandest
raid of the war -- the march of Wilson to Selma, Columbus and
Macon. On Aug. 13, the regiment was mustered out at Macon and
started for Iowa, its honorable and patriotic career complete.
Its losses were as follows: deaths from battle, 16; deaths
from disease 168; wounded, 15; discharged, 64.
