I have compiled this work merely through a regimental pride, without any desire or hope of remuneration for my labor; and, by the assistance (subscription to one or more copies of the work) of my brothers-in-arms and kind friends, I have published it, that they may know where the Eegiment has been, and what it has done for the country; and that they may view the records of the officers who have had the honor of belonging to it. I have labored under many disadvantages in obtaining the necessary information for the publication of the work, but have succeeded much better than I had anticipated, although the earlier part of the history is somewhat incomplete. To Brigadier General LORENZO THOMAS, (formerly an officer of the Eegiment,) late Adjutant General United States Army, I am indebted for many facts connected with the movements of the Eegiment from 1815 to 1860, which facts have been compiled from the muster-rolls of the Regiment, and from personal recol- lection. From 1861 to 1871, all facts enumerated in the work are from notes taken by myself while serving with the Eegiment, or while on the staff of the Brigade or Division in which the Eegiment was serving.

The FOURTH REGIMENT OF INFANTRY, UNITED STATES ARMY, was organized in accordance with the following act of Con- gress, approved May 30, 1796, but the exact date at which the formation of all the companies was completed is riot known. Act of May W, 1796, Fixing the military establishment of the United States, so as to be composed, after the last of October, 1796, of * Four regiments of infantry, each to consist of one lieu- tenant colonel commandant, two majors, one adjutant, one paymaster, one surgeon, two surgeon's mates, two sergeant majors, two quartermaster sergeants, two musicians, and eight companies. Each company of infantry to consist of one captain, one lieutenant, one ensign, four sergeants, four corporals, two musicians, and fifty-two privates. 1796-'97-'98-'99-1800-'01-'02. The Regiment organized by the above act was officered, in 1796, asT follows: Lieutenant Colonel Commandant: THOMAS BUTLER. Majors : WILLIAM PETERS and R. B. ROBERTS. Surgeon : JOHN F. CARMICHAEL. Surgeon's Mates: JOSEPH ANDREWS and DAVID DAVIS. : , ; ;HJSTORY or THE FOURTH INFANTRY. Captains : Joseph Brock. Edward Butler. Henry De Butts. Joseph Dickinson.

Robert Thomson. Campbell Smith. Benjamin Strother. Jonathan Taylor. Samuel Tinsley. George Salmon, Thomas Swaine. John Wallington. The Regiment, during the greater part of these years, served in the State of Virginia, which then required protec- tion for its inhabitants on the frontier against Indians. 1802. In this year the Regiment was broken up, or disbanded, to meet the requirements of the act of Congress, approved March 16, 1802, fixing the militar} 7 peace establishment of the United States, which act only allowed two regiments of infantry to the army. A number of the officers were re- tained in other regiments, a number resigned, and the remain- der were discharged from the service. This act was made to take effect from June 1, 1802. 1803 '04-'05-'06-'07. During these years the Regiment had no existence. 1808-'09-10. The Fourth Infantry was reorganized in 1808, in accord- ance with the following act of Congress: HISTORY OF THE FOURTH INFANTRY. 9 Act of April 12, 1808, Providing for the raising, in addition to the organization at that time existing, ******* Five regiments of infantry , * each to consist of ten companies; each of the * regiments to have one colonel, one lieutenant colonel, one major, one adjutant, one quartermaster, one paymaster, (each of the three last from the subordinates of the line,) one sur- geon, one surgeon's mate, one sergeant major, one quarter- master sergeant, two principal musicians. Each company of infantry * * to have one captain, one first lieutenant, one second lieutenant, one ensign, two cadets, four sergeants, four corporals, two musi- cians, and sixty-eight privates. The Regiment was organized during the months of May and June, 1808, with the following commissioned officers : Colonel: JOHN P. BOYD. Lieutenant Colonel: JOHN WHITING. Major : JAMES MILLER. Surgeon : JOSIAH D. FOSTER. Captains : W. C. Baen. John Binney. David Byers. George "W. Prescott. Stephen Ranney. Paul Wentworth. First Lieutenants : Nathaniel F. Adams. R, C. Barton. O. G. Burton.

Eastman. Lewis Harrington. Benjamin Hill. Minor Huntington, Ebenezer Ensigns: Frederick Conklin. Timothy Gerrish. George Goo ding. Abraham Hawkins. Milo Mason. Lewis Peekham. George B. Peters. Jonathan Simonds. Under this act the Regiment is reported to have been raised in and about the States of ~New Hampshire, Vermont, and Massachusetts, and is supposed to have been employed during the years 1808-'09-'10 in protecting the frontiersmen in the territories north of the Ohio river and south of the Great Lakes, as the first official notice taken of the Regi- ment is during the campaign of General Harrison against the Indians in the northwest. 1811. In the fall of 1811 General Harrison, then Governor of Indiana Territory, marched against the Indian tribes on the "Wabash; the Fourth Infantry formed part of the army. On his approach to the town of the Prophet, the brother of the celebrated Tecumseh, the principal chiefs came out, and on the 6th of November proposed a conference, and requested General Harrison to encamp for the night. Fearing treach- ery, the troops slept on their arms in order of battle. November 7, early in the morning, the camp was furiously assailed, and a bloody and doubtful contest ensued; but, after a heavy loss on both sides, the Indians were finally repulsed. This was the celebrated " Battle of Tippecanoe," and was fought near the west bank of the Tippecanoe river, at its junction with the Wabash, in the northern part of Indiana. After this engagement the Regiment, under the command HISTORY OF THE FOURTH INFANTRY. 11 of Lieutenant Colonel Miller, moved to the southern part of Indiana for supplies, (Indiana and Ohio being, at that time; almost a wilderness,) crossed the Ohio river on flatboats or rafts made by themselves, and encamped at Louisville, Ken- tucky. After remaining there a short while, it marched along the military road leading to the town of Frankfort, encamped there a short while, thence crossed the Kentucky river, which was very high at the time, and moved on through Lexing- ton, Kentucky, to a point opposite Cincinnati, Ohio; crossed the Ohio river again, and marched through the State of Ohio, towards Detroit, Michigan. 1812. During the months of May and June the Fourth Infantry, forming part of the army under General Hull, was on the march from Ohio to Detroit. July 12, the Fourth Infantry, with the army, crossed the Detroit river into Canada, and encamped at Sandwich, on the east bank of the Detroit river, two miles below Detroit, with the professed object of marching upon the British post at Maiden, about thirteen miles from Sandwich. August 7, General Hull, after remaining inactive nearly a month in Canada, while his confident troops were daily expect- ing to be led against the enemy, suddenly recrossed the De- troit river, and occupied the town and Fort of Detroit, to the bitter vexation and disappointment of his officers and army. August 8, General Hull sent several hundred men of the Fourth Infantry, under Colonel Miller, Fourth Infantry, to convoy a party approaching his camp with supplies, which had been previously attempted by Major Yan Home, who was defeated near Brownstown by a force of Indians and British. August 9, the expedition under Colonel Miller met a large force of British and Indians, the latter under the fa- mous u Tecumseh." A battle ensued, and the enemy was routed with considerable loss, near the same ground on which Van Home had been defeated. 12 HISTORY OF THE FOURTH INFANTRY. August 16, General Brock, the British commander, crossed the river a few miles above Detroit, without opposition, and, with a force of about seven hundred British troops and six hundred Indians, immediately marched against the Ameri- can works. While the American troops, advantageously posted, and numbering more than the combined force of British and Indians, were anxiously awaiting the orders to lire, what was their mortification and rage, when all were suddenly ordered within the fort, and a white flag, in token of submission, was suspended from the walls! Not only the army at Detroit, but the whole Territory of Michigan, with all its forts and garrisons, including the Fourth Infantry, which was twenty miles away, at Brownstown, was basely surrendered, on the 18th of August, to the British. General Hull was afterwards exchanged for thirty British prisoners, when his conduct was investigated by a court martial. The court declined giving an opinion on the charge of treason, but convicted him of cowardice and unofficer-like conduct. He was sentenced to death, but was pardoned by the President, and his name ordered to be struck from the rolls of the army. 1813. After the surrender of Hull, and during this entire year, the enlisted men and several of the officers were held as pris- oners in Fort George, Canada, by the British troops. Some of the officers were exchanged, and were assigned to other regiments or commands. By this miserable surrender on the part of Hull the Regiment lost its organization, and was not reorganized until 1815, when it was formed by the con- solidation of other regiments. 1814. In March, the regiments which afterwards, in 1815, were consolidated into the Fourth Infantry, were engaged at the Battle of La Cole Mill, Canada, and after that retired to Plattsburg, New York. HISTORY OP THE FOURTH INFANTRY. 13 September 6, the regiments which, in 1815, formed the Fourth Infantry, were at Plattsburg, New York, belonging to the command of General Macomb. September 11, about 8 o'clock in the morning, a general cannonading was commenced on the American works; and soon after the British fleet of Commodore Downie bore down and engaged that of Commodore McDonough, lying in the harbor. After an action of two hours, the guns of the ene- my's squadron were silenced, and most of their vessels cap- tured. The battle on the land continued until nightfall. Three desperate but unsuccessful attempts were made by the British to cross the stream, and storm the American works. At dusk the efforts of the enemy relaxed, and they commenced a hasty retreat, leaving behind their sick and wounded, together with a large quantity of military stores. This ended the "Siege of Plattsburg." In December, a treaty of peace was concluded between the United States and Great Britain, although the fact was not generally known throughout the Army and Navy until some time in February, 1815. 1815. The Fourth Infantry was reorganized March 3, 1815, by consolidation of the Fourteenth, Eighteenth, Twentieth, Thirty-sixth, and Thirty-eighth Regiments of Infantry. After the reorganization of the Regiment, it was ordered South, and owing to the difficulties with the Creek and Seminole Indians in Georgia, Alabama, and Florida, for several years its history was one of continual marches and countermarches, building of cantonments, and opening of military roads through the wilderness regions of those States; the policy of the General Government then being, that the infantry arm of service should build their own barracks and open roads through the Indian country. 1816. February 29, the headquarters and three companies were stationed at Fort Moultrie, Charleston harbor, South Caro- 14 HISTORY OF THE FOURTH INFANTRY. lina, and seven companies were at Fort Hawkins, on the left bank of the Okmulgee river, in Georgia, in the Creek coun- try, opposite to the present city of Macon. In July, eight companies were at Camp Crawford, Geor- gia, with the headquarters, and one company at Fort Haw- kins, and one at Fort Scott, on the right bank of the Flint river, Georgia, in the Creek Nation, not many miles above its junction with the Chattahoochee river. In December, the headquarters and nine companies were at Fort Gaines, on the left bank of the Chattahoochee river, Georgia, and one company at Fort Hawkins, Georgia; the previous November, the headquarters and nine companies were either at Fort Scott, or on the march to Fort Gaines. 1817. In the commencement of this year the Regiment was on the march to Alabama, and in the month of March estab- lished Cantonment " Montpelier," where the entire Regiment was stationed until October, when it was marched back to Georgia, and in November was at Fort Scott. Again it took up the line of march for Florida, to operate, under the com- mand of Major General Andrew Jackson, against the Span- ish forces in the harbor of Pensacola. 1818. In April and May, the Regiment was at Pensacola, Flor- ida, which place, with Fort Barrancas, at the entrance of the bay, had been captured. September 18, four companies were at Craney Island; the headquarters and four companies were at sea, off Amelia Island, Alabama. In October, the headquarters and seven companies were at Pensacola, two companies at Fort Barrancas, and one at Fort St. Mark, the old Spanish work, seven miles from the Gulf of Mexico, at the junction of the St. Mark and Wakulla rivers, twenty miles south of the city of Tallahassee. In November, the headquarters and six companies were HISTORY OF THE FOURTH INFANTRY. 15 at Pensacola, three companies at Fort Barrancas, and one company at Fort St. Mark. 1819. In January, the headquarters and two companies were at Pensacola, three companies at Fort Barrancas, four compa- nies at Amelia Island, and one at Fort St. Mark. In February, the headquarters and four companies were at Cantonment "Montpelier," Alabama, four companies at Amelia Island, one company at Fort St. Mark, and one com- pany on the march to Fort Crawford, where it arrived in March. In May, the headquarters and four companies were at Cantonment "Montpelier,*' one company at Fort St. Mark, four companies at Trader's hill, on the St. Mary's river, and one company at Fort Crawford, Georgia. 1820. In January, the headquarters and four companies were at Cantonment "Montpelier," one company at Blakely, oppo- site Mobile, and five companies at Trader's hill, Georgia. From July to December, the entire Regiment was at Can- tonment "Montpelier." 1821. The entire Regiment was stationed at Cantonment " Mont- pelier," until it was ordered to Pensacola, after the receipt of the General Order, dated Adjutant and Inspector Gene- ral's Office, May 17, 1821, which order assigned Pensacola, West Florida, as the station of the Regiment. Its organiza- tion, as thus announced, was as follows: Colonel, Robert Butler; Lieutenant Colonel, George M. Brooke; Major, James B. Maney; Captains, Josiah H. Vose, Saunders Donoho, James H. Hook, James S. Mclntosh, James M. Glassell, Francis L. Dade, Phillip Wager, Henry Wilson, Richard M. Sands, Francis W. Brady; First Lieutenants, H. R. Dulaney, William Lear, Jeremiah Yancey, George W. 16 HISTORY OF THE FOURTH INFANTRY. Allen, John Page, Lee Slaughter, Edward "Webb, William M. Graham, Edward Alexander, and Thomas Johnson; Sec- ond Lieutenants, Joseph B. Shaw, "W. II. Mann, R. B. A. Tate, Arthur W. Thornton, John F. Jackson, Geo. Mountz, F. B. Triplett, T. Brook, Edward K Dulaney. 1 colonel, 1 lieutenant colonel, 1 major, 10 captains, 10 first lieuten- ants, 10 second lieutenants, 1 sergeant major, 1 quartermaster sergeant, 2 principal musicians, 30 sergeants, 40 corporals, 20 musicians, 420 privates; commissioned officers, 33; en- listed men, 514; aggregate, 547. As the mails from Washington were then carried by stages and on horseback, some time must have elapsed before the Regiment received this order, and it is probable the move- ment from Cantonment "Montpelier" did not take place before the month of August. Companies were now, for the first time, designated by letters. On the 30th of August, companies A, B, and E, were at Pensacola, F and G at Barrancas. The regiment had been much reduced in numbers, and the other companies were most probably not then reorganized, nor until the Regiment received a part of the enlisted men of the discontinued Eighth Regiment, then stationed at the Bay of St. Louis, Missouri. Company "I" was organized at Barrancas, Florida, Sep- tember 19; and Company "H" in October, at the same place. October 31, Companies A, B, and E were at Pensacola; F, G, H, and I at Barrancas. December 31, the headquarters and Companies A, B, C, and E were stationed at Pensacola; Companies D, F, G, H, and K at Barrancas; and Company I at Mobile Point, Ala- bama. 1822. The Regiment retained the positions it occupied Decem- 31, 1821, except that Company I was removed to Dauphin Island, Alabama, in July or August. The yellow fever hav- ing made its appearance in Pensacola, the four companies at HISTORY OF THE FOURTH INFANTRY. 17 that place, and the five companies at Barrancas, which had been relieved by- companies of the Fourth Artillery, nine in all, moved from Pensacola in September or October, and erected temporary huts and shelter at two camps, two and one- half miles west of the town, on Bayou Chico, named camps "Hope "and "Brady." These troops commenced the erection of a cantonment, afterwards called Cantonment "Clinch," in honor of the distinguished and much-beloved Colonel of the Regiment. It was completed for nine com- panies of the minimum organization of the act of 1821, the tenth company being still at Dauphin Island. Each com- pany built its own double block of two rooms of logs, and a house of one story (of logs) of two rooms for officers' quar- ters. The troops also sawed the boards for flooring, and rived the pine shingles for roofs. In truth, the troops did the entire work, the quartermaster's department only fur- nishing the few tools to work with, the nails, and other hard- ware. Scarcely a nail was used to secure the shingles, they being hung on the rafters with wooden pegs. The spaces between the logs were chinked with split pieces of pine, and daubed with clay, and afterwards the whole was whitewashed. This was the mode of erecting quarters by the infantry arm in those days, at scarcely any expense to the Government. They were most comfortable, as they were occupied for sev- eral years. No change in stations took place up to Decem- ber 31. 1823. The headquarters and nine companies moved into their new quarters in September or October. Company "I" re- turned to Mobile Point, Alabama, June 30, and afterwards joined the regiment at Cantonment " Clinch." 1824. On the 15th day of January, Companies C, D, F, and G, under Brevet Brigadier General George M. Brooke, the Lieutenant Colonel of the Regiment, sailed from Pensa- 2 18 HISTORY OF THE FOURTH INFANTRY. cola for Tampa Bay, Florida, to establish a military post, which, after completion, received the name of Cantonment "Brooke," in honor of the distinguished and popular Lieu- tenant Colonel. This movement was, no doubt, caused by the fact, that the treaty of Payne's Landing, made by General Gadsden, of South Carolina, formerly of the army, with the Seminole Indians, the bands in Middle Florida, (the Talla- hassees, Lower Creeks, and Mickasaukees,) were required to move east of the Suwannee river, join the Seminoles, and move west of the Mississippi river in 1835. Lieutenant Lo- renzo Thomas sailed from New York in October, 1823, to join the regiment at Pensacola. The vessel was chartered by Mr. Robert J. Hackley, who was going to Tampa Bay to cut live-oak timber, and during a three weeks' stay in the bay it was explored most thoroughly. Lieutenant Thomas arrived at Pensacola the day before the expedition sailed, and described to General Brooke the place at the head of Hillsborough Bay, at the mouth of the river of that name, (Lock-chee-pop-ko " sweet acorn,") as the most suitable position for a military post; which place, after examination, he adopted. Perhaps, apart from its military advantages, a more beautiful spot could not have been found in the whole southern country, the place being covered by a large number of live-oak trees, on a gentle slope extending to the bay. The" only defences then made were two block-houses at two of the angles of the parallelogram, the line of men's quar- ters making the exterior line of defence. During the Sem- inole war this became an important position, and here was established one of the large depots for supplies for the oper- ating armies. Company "B" was at Barrancas during the year. Com- pany "H" was most probably broken up by the transfer of the men to other companies. Company "K" was opening a road in Alabama, perhaps, during the month of May, June, and July. On the 31st of August it returned to Cantonment "Clinch." Company "I" went to the Bay of St. Louis in September or October, and returned to New Orleans in De- cember. In September, Companies "A" and "K" com- HISTORY OF THE FOURTH INFANTRY. 19 menced opening the military road authorized by Congress from Pensacola, via Tallahassee, to St. Augustine. The troops crossed Pensacola bay, opposite the town, and com- menced the construction of the road at that point. The road was made under the superintendence of Major Birch, Assist- ant Quartermaster, and was completed by the troops to the Apalachicola river, fifty miles west of Tallahassee, with a ferry across the river. The remaining portion of the road was finished by contract. As the time approached for the Indians between the Apalachicola and Suwannee rivers to remove to East Florida, Governor William P. Da vail, then at Tallahassee, seeing that the Indians were very dilatory in making their arrangements for leaving, according to the treaty made with them, and fearing difficulties, made a re- quisition on Colonel D. L. Clinch for troops, and Company E was dispatched from Cantonment Clinch to St. Mark's in September. The presence of the troops, and the friendly Indians of the four towns having reservations on the Apal- achicola river, (for the services of these Indians with General Jackson,) exercised a most salutary effect; and the Indians, having journeyed east, Company "E" returned to Canton- ment Clinch in December. December 31, the headquarters arid Company "E" were at Cantonment Clinch; Companies " C," "D," "F," and " G" were at Cantonment Brooke; Company U B," at-Bar- rancas; Company "I," at ~Ne\v Orleans, Louisiana, and Com- panies "A" and "K," on the military road from Pensacola to St. Augustine. Company ' H " was probably unorganized. 1825. Companies " A" and "K," from the military road, returned to Cantonment Clinch in January. Company "B" joined Cantonment Clinch, from Barrancas, in June. Governor Troup, of Georgia, having sent surveyors to run off that portion of the Creek country lying between the Flint and Chattahoochee rivers, which greatly exasperated the Creek Indians, and the Governor having ordered out two companies of militia to protect the surveyors, Major General 20 HISTORY OF THE FOURTH INFANTRY. E. P. Gaines, commanding the Western Division, ordered Companies "A," "B," "E," and "K" from Cantonment Clinch, (also a battalion of five companies of the 1st Infan- try, serving at the same post,) to the Creek country. The 4th Infantry commenced the march July 4, in a heavy rain ; but being detained on the route by an order of General Gaines, not to move without a three months' supply of pro- visions, which had to be sent from Pensacola by water, did not arrive at Fort Mitchell, on the Chattahoochee river, Ala- bama, until some time in August. The old picket work on the hill, on the right bank of the river, was entirely decayed, and was rebuilt by the troops, with pickets on the old lines, and two block-houses at the diagonal angles. Log huts, with mud chimneys, were built inside for officers and men. The Governor of Georgia desisted from his purpose of sur- veying the country, but the General Government paid the two militia companies for three months. The payment was made at Marion, Georgia, by Lieutenant Lorenzo Thomas, 4th Infantry. Company " I" went to Baton Rouge, Louisiana, in Sep- tember, in consequence of sickness, and returned to iNew Orleans in November. Companies "D" and "F" were ordered to open a road from Cantonment Brooke to Colerain, Trader's Hill, on the St. Mary's river, Georgia. The road was opened to Fort King, Seminole agency, distant a hundred and one miles, and subsequently from that place to Pilatka,on the St. John's river, fifty miles distant. Over this military road the troops at Cantonment Clinch received a mail by a soldier on horse- back twice a month, and when a failure occurred, which was not unfrequent, the garrison was without intelligence from the civilized world for an entire month, unless, indeed, in the meantime, the little transport schooner "Florida," car- rying supplies once a month from Pensacola to the -post, should happen to arrive. December 31, the headquarters and Company H were at Cantonment Clinch; Companies A, B, E, and K, at Fort Mitchell; Companies C and G, at Cantonment Brooke; Com- HISTORY OF THE FOURTH INFANTRY. 21 panics D and F, cutting a military road from Cantonment Brooke to Colerain, Georgia; Company I, at New Orleans. 1826. In February companies D and F returned from the mili- tary road to Cantonment Brooke. In April companies A, B, E, and K rejoined Cantonment Clinch, from Fort Mitchell, Creek Nation. It may not be uninteresting to give some account how in- fantry regiments were transported, or transported themselves, in a wilderness country years ago, where no railroads existed or steamships could be obtained, as are now in use. When the battalions of the First and Fourth Infantry were ordered to return to Cantonment Clinch, there being but little trans- portation for baggage or supplies, and none to be obtained in an Indian country, the five companies of the First came to Fort Mitchell, and then each of the nine companies of the two regiments went to work and cut down trees, sawed out the sides and necessary timber to construct a large flat-boat or "broad-horse," as they were called, to contain the com- pany and supplies for the voyage to the Gulf, burned tar- kilns, picked oakum, &c. The boats were launched in the Chattahoochee river; and, all having safely embarked on these boats, without shelter of any kind, started, each company vieing with the others which could first reach its destination. Each boat was propelled with from four to six oars, and being favored with a current, good time was made. Before night- fall the boats tied up by the bank of the river, and the even- ing meal was prepared. At early dawn the morning meal was prepared and hastily dispatched, and onward went the boats. Arriving at the mouth of the Apalachicola river, no transports could be seen, and the small town of that name, consisting of two or three small stores and a few shanties, was soon examined. After a few days transport schooners arrived, and the troops were embarked, and soon made the short run to Pensacola. Nine companies of troops have rarely been transported so many miles at so little expense. 22 HISTORY OF THE FOURTH INFANTRY. Tn October Company B was detached from Cantonment Clinch, to take post at the mouth of the Su wan nee river, and established a post named "Fort Duvall," after the name of the Governor of the Territory. This and subsequent move- ments were made in consequence of the return east of the Suwannee river by small bands of the Indians, who had been required to move from Middle Florida in 1824. These bands, returning to their old cherished homes, roved over the country, and, committing depredations, alarmed the set- tlers, who were not, as yet, in numbers sufficient to fully protect themselves. December 31, the headquarters and Companies A, E, H, and K were at Cantonment Clinch; Companies C, D, F, and G at Cantonment Brooke; Company B at Fort Duvall; and Company I at New Orleans, Louisiana. 1827. The predatory bands of Indians still continuing trouble- some, some of the companies of the Regiment were moved from station to station, to restrain them and keep them within the treaty limits. In January Company C was sent from Cantonment Brooke to "Wanton's, near the Seminole Agency, and Company F, from the same post, was stationed near the same place, at Fort King. Company H, from Cantonment Clinch, was at Fort Duvall; and Company K, from the same post, was sta- tioned near Fort Duvall. In February Companies C andF, from Cantonment Brooke, were stationed at Fort Mclntosh, in Alabama county, Flor- ida; and Company K, from near Fort Duvall, w T as at Adams's, thirty miles from Tallahassee, Florida. In March Company B, from Fort Duvall, was near Talla- hassee; Companies F and H near the Seminole Agency; and Company K, from Adams's, was at Cantonment Clinch. In April Company B, from near Tallahassee, was near the Suwannee river; Company C, from near Camp Mclntosh, returned to Cantonment Brooke; and Company I, from New Orleans, was at Cantonment Clinch. HISTORY OF THE FOURTH INFANTRY. 23 In May Company B, from near the Suwannee river, was at Camp Dickins, Florida; Companies F and H, near the Seminole Agency, established the post called Fort King, named after a former Colonel of the Regiment; and Com- pany F afterwards returned to Cantonment Brooke. December 31, the headquarters and Companies A, B, E, I, and K, were at Cantonment Clinch; Companies C, D, F, and G at Cantonment Brooke; and Company II at Fort King. 1828. In April Companies B, E, and Kwere detached from Can- tonment Clinch, and took post at New Orleans, Louisiana. In July these three companies went to Baton Rouge, Louis- iana. In August Company A, from Cantonment Clinch, went to Fort Mitchell, Creek Agency, Alabama. September 24, there arrived at Cantonment Brooke a de- tachment of men of Companies A, C, D, G, and I, from St. Augustine, Florida. October 24, Company A removed from Fort Mitchell to the vicinity of Tuckebatchee, Creek Nation, Alabama, at which place it arrived October 26. December 31, the headquarters and Company I were at Cantonment Clinch; Company A in the Creek nation; Com- panies B, E, and K at Baton Rouge; Companies C, D, F, and G at Cantonment Brooke; and Company H at Fort King. 1829. February 20, Company B was detached from Baton Rouge, and took post at Fort St. Philip, Louisiana. July 3, Company H left Fort King for Cantonment Brooke, where it must have arrived the 7th or 8th of the month. On the 14th, Company B left Fort St. Philip for Baton Rouge, where it must have arrived about the 17tb. On the 27th, Company A, from the Creek Nation, arrived in the Bay of Pensacola, and on the 30th was ordered back to Fort Mitch- 24 HISTORY OF THE FOURTH INFANTRY. ell, where it arrived in February. Company B arrived at .Baton Rouge on the 16th. In September Company A was at Fort Mitchell, and Com- pany H at Cantonment Brooke. November 4, Company D left Cantonment Brooke, to re- pair the military road from that post to Fort King, Seminole Agency. Company B left Baton Rouge, and arrived at Fort St. Philip on the 13th. December 31, the headquarters and Companies C, F, G, and H were at Cantonment Brooke, the headquarters having been ordered from Cantonment Clinch in November; Com- pany A was at Fort Mitchell; Company D at Toachotka, on the military road to Fort King; Company B at Fort St. Philip; Company I at Cantonment Clinch; and Companies E and K at Baton Rouge. 1830.

[The following is an extract from General Sykes' (com- manding Division) report of that engagement:] The enemy continuing to outflank our left, Buchanan ordered to the support of the forces engaged in that direction, and maintained a gallant and bloody conflict with the foe, until, outnumbered, outflanked, and badly crippled, I directed him to retire." [The following is an extract from the report of Lieutenant Colonel R. C. Buchanan, Fourth Infantry, commanding Brig- ade in which the Fourth Infantry was serving:] "I cannot omit calling the attention of the Brigadier Gen- eral commanding to the firm and gallant manner in which my Brigade held the enemy in check on the extreme left for such a length of time, and finally prevented his turning our flank. At one time the 3d and Fourth (Infantry) were with- in thirty yards of one of his Brigades, which made a flank movement to turn their left, when Captain Dryer, command- ing the Fourth, gave orders to fire by battalions, and poured three most destructive volleys into it before his fire could be returned. The greatest portion of my loss was at this point, and too much credit cannot be given to officers and men for their coolness and gallantry during the engagement." August 31, the Regiment arrived at Centreville, with Army of Potomac, retreating on Washington, from the battle of the previous day. September 1, the Regiment arrived at Fairfax C. H., Vir- ginia.
