The Fifth Regiment participated in
almost the opening movement in the
war and was present at the surrender
at Appomatox. On May %, 1861, the
Fifth assisted in the capture of the
town of Alexandria, across the Potomac
river from Washington. During that
year it participated in many battles,
notably at Fairfax Courthouse and at
the first battle of Bull Run.
In 1862 the Fifth was a part of the
army besieging Yorktown, and then was
in skirmish, battle, etc, throughout the
year, among the battles being that at
Hanover, c. H., Gaines Hill, Savage s
Station, Malvern Hill, South Mountain,
Antietam, Shephardstown and Mark
ham Station. On December Is the regi-
ment went into the battle waged at
Fredericksburg, where the Union army
suffered terrible defeat. The regi,
ment joined Stoneman s command on
its famous raid Stoneman was for
merry one of the Fifth IS lieutenants.
During the spring of 1863 when the
campaign opened, the regiment was sent
out on raiding duty and destroyed a
bridge over the South Anna river. This
was a hot engagement. Then more bat

troops met. The charge was so fierce
that the foremost horses were thrown.
Hastings small force had been reinforc-
ed by a few men under Harrison, so
that thirty men in all fought with Lee s
500. For five minutes Harrison fought
hand to hand until the little band was
compelled to wheel and leave on the
Yanceyville road.
For three days in July, 1868, the
regiment fought at Gettysburg, then at
Manassas Gap, at Culpepper and Mine
Run. In 1864 the Fifth formed part
of Custer's command and accompanied
that officer on an expedition into Alber.
marie county, Va. Then it participated
in the bloody campaigns at Spottsly-
vania and the Wilderness. In May,
the regiment was under Sheridan, bri-
gaded with several other regiments.
The troopers were at Mechanicsville
and Cold Harbor. On August 16 the
regiment was in action near Winchester
in the Shenandoah Valley campaign,
when it stayed the retreat of fugitives.
At this time a battery which had been
annoying the Union line was charged
and the guns, caissons and drivers cap
tured.
In 1865 the regiment was at Five
Forks and on April 9, fighting up to
the last day of the war, the command
was wheeled into position where it
could witness the surrender of the
Army of Northern Virginia. But even
then the regiment was ordered south
and was on its way into the interior
Of the Confederacy when news came
of the surrender of Johnston army.

A Battle Famous Regiment.


From the year of its organization
long before the Civil War, the Fifth
Regiment of Cavalry won honors. It's
flag, it emblaZoned with the names of
the battles of the War of the Rebellion
,, and the Indian fights in which it has
participated, would be quite OVERLAND
The greatest struggles of the war
brought the Fifth into action and the
| names of the officers who have been
| associated with. it are those of men
of whom the nation is proud. Some
were heutenants, some were captains,
others ranking up to the colonelcy,
and all earned glory in the War of the
Rebellion, but not all on the Union
side. Some of the officers achieved
fame and greatness in the Confederacy.
But although they served against the
Fifth S flag they were nevertheless
| fighters.
Among the officers of the Fifth who
became famous as leaders of the
Southern armies were Robert E. Lee,
Fitzhugh Lee, Albert Sidney Johnston
| General Hardee and General Van Dorm.
| Among the names of those who re-
/ manned steadfast to the Union were
| General George Thomas, General Sedg-
| wick, General Wade, General Guy Hen
| ry, General Wesley Merritt. General
Earl d. Thomas and General George A.
| Custer of Big Horn massacre fame.
Under General Sheridan as brigade
commander the Fifth regiment won
much of its glory especially at Win
chester, on that famous day of Sheri-
dam s ride, when the Fifth was de-
| ployed across the pike and stopped
the retreat of the infantry and helped
restore order, turning defeat into vic
| tory.
The real organization of the Fifth
| Cavalry was on March 3, 1855. The
men were mainly enlisted in the South.
Early in June. 1855, the regiment was
concentrated at Jefferson Barracks, St.
Louis. Mo-, under Brevet Col. Robert
f. Lee. BY the fortunes of war the
final humiliation of General Lee at

Lincoln's Odd Comment.

While the regiment was in McClel-
Ian army, the commanding general
sent dispatch to Washington IL which
he called attention to the WORKOUT
horses of the Fifth, stating that many
were sore-b backed and sore-tongued from
hard service. Lincoln S reply was as
follows:
Washington, October 25, 1862.
.'Gen. Mcclellan; / have just read
your dispatch about soretongued and
fatigued horses. VIII you pardon me
for asking what the horses of your army
have done since the battle of Antietam
that fatigued anything?
(Signed) A. LINCOLN.
General Mcclellan in answer gave a
detailed account of the long marcnes,
great areas that had been patrolled,
the engagements, ,skirmishes, etc, that
had worn out the horses. Nothing more
was heard of the matter.

The Indian Wars.

In 1868 the regiment was sent out
to the West and for the next twenty
years was engaged in constant warfare
with Indian tribes, now in Texas and
Colorado, now in the Dakotas and Wyo-
ming. There were hundreds of notable
engagements, during which many Of
fcers and men were rewarded for their
bravery and gallantry by acknowledge
ments from Congress. At times the
regiment was with Custer, now with
Sheridan. now with Crook, with Buffalo
Bill bobbing up here and there. At
one time detachment made sortie
which saved Buffalo Bill S life.
During the Spanish war the regiment
had little to do. 1t was sent to Porto
Rico at first, and in 1901 it was ordered
to the Philippines, returning home IN
1903 on the transport Thomas. During
an outbreak Of cholera in Manila the
Fifth was detailed to guard the water
systems Recently the regiment, or at
least headquarters, has been in the west
at Fort Huachaca.

On the Use
of Big Words.

There seems to be tendency in
these days, especially on the part of
scientists, to use big words. In many
cases a little word would perhaps serve
to convey what was meant. We can
to some extent excuse scientists on the
ground that big words mean dollars to
them, and in the case of doctors are
not intended to convey what is meant,
but to make person feel that he is
really i'll. On the other hand, there is
no excuse for writer's who do not in
dulge in scientific writing excuse the
expression). They have no right to
presume that the ordinary individual

has attained a standard of education
higher than that given by aschoolmam
whose education can in many cases be
described as superficial. Thru this hab-
it many good ideas are lost to the man
who takes up book or paper to amuse
himself.
I once went to church with man to
hear the great DR.. Wilson preach. He
was head master at Rugby. The
verger brought my friend q prayer
book. He listened to the doctor; III
returning the book as we were leaving
he remarked to the verger, "say, old
man, next time that chap comes here
get q few dictionaries on hand and
give them to those who you think are
seeking light. Never mind those who
come for show, or go into the wilder
ness to see reed shaken by the wind"
Wht n we compare the beautiful and
simple language of the Sermon on the
Mount and the Book of JOB with some
of the OTaIiOns We hear from the pull
pit today we are not surprised that the
seed falls by the wayside, but to return
to the man who writes for the general
public. 1t is obvious that if by le .son
of big words he fails to convey what
he means he is loser because he fails
to rouse public interest, and some
other writer's using simple words that
mean the same as his big ones steps In
and reaps where he has not sown.
That grant is the common lot Of life
which to great extent we cannot cOn-
troll the language we use in giving our
ideas to public who for the most part
reads for amusement.
