This is followed by the Roster First Cavalry Division which gives unit name street address and home town and state. The 1st Cavalry Division initially organized in September 1921 at Fort Bliss Texas was serving on occupation duty in Japan when the Korean War began in the summer of 1950. On 18 July 1950 elements of the division went ashore at P'ohang-dong South Korea moving quickly westward to block the enemy along the main Taejon-Taegu corridor which led back to the ports on the Sea of Japan. With unrelenting pressure from the enemy the division withdrew to Kumch'on and later east of the Naktong River where it held part of the front near Taegu on the Pusan perimeter. During the month of August "The First Team" successfully countered five major North Korean attacks in that section. In early September the division launched an attack against the "Walled City" a series of high mountain ridges along the perimeter which the enemy repelled. On 15 September however the United Nations began a new offensive with an amphibious landing at Inch'on near Seoul; with the opening of the second front the 1st Cavalry Division began a drive northwest of Taegu. Six days later the division broke out of the perimeter and North Korean pressure in the south ended. Pursuit of the enemy followed and on 27 September the division met the 7th Infantry Division at Osan. From there the 1st Cavalry Division shifted north to the Kaesong area near the 38th Parallel the dividing line between North and South Korea. On 9 October the 1st Cavalry Division was ordered to take Kumch'on in North Korea which fell on 14 October. Shortly thereafter the division reached P'yongyang the North Korean capital. Elements of the division linked up with the 187th Airborne Infantry at Sunch'on and other elements turned southwest to Chinnamp'o the main port of North Korea. Oon 1 November a new more savage conflict began. Waves of enemy forces swept over the 1st Cavalry Division area near Unsan and the division fell back to a line between the coast and the Taedong River valley. By 12 December the division had withdrawn to only six miles north of Seoul and in January 1951 it occupied positions south of Seoul in the Ch'ungju area. Seoul had been captured but the enemy did not cross the Han River. When the enemy failed to follow up its recapture of Seoul the 1st Cavalry Division undertook a reconnaissance in force resulting in a limited offensive north and west of the capital. By the end of February "The First Team" had reached the Hongch'on area in the central front midway between Seoul and the Sea of Japan. In February the 1st Cavalry Division pushed to the Hwach'on Reservoir north of the 38th Parallel and then went into reserve. On 22 April the Chinese Communists began a new offensive to dislodge the UN forces and the division was given the mission of defending Seoul and the area north of the city. The division pushed northward and by the end of May it was again in North Korea. The 1st Cavalry Division's next assignment was to attack the "Iron Triangle" an area from P'yonggang southeast to Ch'orwon and southwest to Kumhwa which served as a marshalling zone for the enemy. In December 1951 the 45th Infantry Division replaced the 1st Cavalry Division which then began redeploying to Hokkaido Japan. The last element of the 1st arrived in Japan in mid-January 1952.

1863 hand written contract by which Sam Elder hired Thomas Cavender as a Substitute Soldier to serve in the Confederate Army in his stead

186336642Hamilton County Tennessee: n/a 1863. Document. Good. Document. Folded sheet of paper. 9" x 5". Paper has blue lines and multiple folds. 4 pages with 2 pages of content. Some fading to the ink and light toning to the paper. Chattanooga Tennessee is the seat of Hamilton County. Hand written document transcribed here: "State of Tennessee Hamilton County I Sam Elder of said County and State have this day hired Thomas Cavender as a substitute to serve as a Private in Capt J B Kings company or Capt Lyness for which I agree to pay the said Cavender one thousand dollars in hand & the other thousand dollars to be paid in three months from this date and to be loned at interest for twelve months two years is the time of service I have hired the said Thos Cavender now if the said Cavendar serves faithful as a substitute for the time of two years and at the expiration of that time the said Elder to take his place the one thousand dollars that is to be loned if the said Cavender should desert is to come to me the said Elder given under our hands this 30th day of April 1863 attest Wm Caruthers and Bob Caruthers signed seal S. H. Elder signed seal Thos Cavender." A Confederate soldier who paid another person to take his place is often referred to as a "substitute" soldier. During the American Civil War individuals who were drafted or conscripted into military service had the option to hire a substitute to serve in their place if they could afford it. These substitutes were typically individuals who were either unemployed or seeking financial gain. The practice of hiring substitutes was more prevalent among wealthier individuals who could afford to pay for someone else to take their place in the military. The Elder family were pioneers in Tennessee. Some of the family settled in Hamilton County. This excerpt is copied from Chattanoogan dot com: "The children of Robert S. Elder included Samuel Houston Sarah Jane Minerva Jane Robert and James B. Sarah married Thomas Monger a Unionist who was on the County Court. Minerva married James Clifford Allen who fought for the Union and was in the Legislature from Bradley County. Samuel H. was on the Confederate side joining 2nd Co. K of the First CSA Cavalry on Sept. 23 1862. He married Sarah J. White. Their daughter Mary A. married Aaron E. Smith. Samuel H. and his brother Robert had a "store boat'' that made calls at the various river landings and they also had a general store at Snow Hill. Samuel H. was postmaster at Long Savannah. He died in 1910 of a heart attack while walking from Avondale to Snow Hill." A record for Benjamin Franklin Cavendar from Hamilton County was found. However no mention of Confederates in Hamilton County for Thomas. Although a "Reader's Comment" from the Chattanoogan dot com states this: CAVENDER Benjamin Franklin Co. B 1TN Cav. Carter's Born 1839 in TN son of Henry Cavender. Farmer in Ooltewah. 1860 HC Census Reader Comment; Henry Cavender by his first wife did have a son named Benjamin S. Cavender b. ca. 1806 in NC living in Hamilton in 1850 but d. March 14 1858 in Dade Co. MO. By his 2nd wife Henry Cavender had a son named Franklin b. ca. 1839 in Hamilton Co. TN. However Henry Cavender relocated with several of his married and unmarried children after the 1860 census but prior to the War to Pitman Randolph Co. AR. In service with nephews in Company A of the 12th Missouri Infantry is Henry's son Francis Marion Cavender and an F.N.C. Cavender who I assume may be Henry's son Franklin. I cannot say for certain since there are no enlistment dates on this post but this Benjamin Cavender may be the son of Henry's son Thomas Cavender who remained in Hamilton Co. Thomas' son Benjamin J. Cavender was b. ca. 1844 in Hamilton Co. relocating after the War to Jeffersonville IN. I would be interested in hearing how the authors pegged this solder as Benjamin Franklin Cavender as Civil War soldiers database only lists him as Benjamin. I regret I cannot say anything more definitive than to cast some doubts. Kendall Sparkman. According to a record found in familysearch dot org: Captain J. B. King mentioned in the document was an officer for for Company B of the 1st Regiment Tennessee Cavalry Carter's. This regiment was organized in November 1862 using the 3rd Tennessee Cavalry Battalion as its nucleus. This company was active in the Vicksburg Campaign and was captured July 1863. By exchanged it was attached to Waul's Texas Legion then returned to the regiment. It surrendered with the Army of Tennessee.1 The Caruthers individuals who attested this document were not found in a brief internet search. However there are other possible spellings of the name such as CARRUTHERS CARETHERS CAROTHERS. Some of the individuals named in the site Chattanoogan dot com were near the Chattanooga area during the Civil War. n/a unknown

Long tear and crease to the rear wrap with one small hole affecting the last leaf with no text. Two contemporary library labels internally not at all offensive. A vanishingly scarce volume recording the proceedings of some early reunions of the First Maine Cavalry regiment. Detailed reminiscences of the war make up much of the contents as well as some soldier-authored poetry and some administrative business. As with many cavalry regiments the First Maine saw significant action from the beginning to the end of the war at too many battles to list but including at Gettysburg and in Sheridan's final campaign through Virginia.

[Pennsylvania Cavalry] Chormann, Ernest GBiblio.com

Manuscript Document Signed by Five Civil War Officers Concerning Chorman's Mounted Rifle Rangers

186145596n.p. 1861. Very good folded edge worn light soiling and ink staining. 1 sheet. 7.75 x 4.5 inches. Signed by Ernest G. Chormann Brig. Gen. Fitz John Porter Col. William Woods Averell Chief of ordnance Charles P. Kingsbury and Assistant Adjutant-General Andrew J. Alexander for Gen. George Stoneman with the note "approved" by three signatures. Though undated it was likely signed between September 1861 and January 17 1862 based on the service records of those who signed it. 1. Ernest G. Chormann in 1861 recruited a volunteer regiment called "Chormanâ€™s Independent Mounted Rifle Rangers" in Philadelphia. See Library Company of Philadelphia for the broadside. The first company of this regiment was mustered into service July 23 1861 and the last was mustered Sept. 15th 1861. The regiment was then under the command of Col. E. G. Chormann. It was numbered the 89th of the line and the 8th Cavalry and left Pennsylvania for Washington on Oct. 4 where it was brigaded with the 3rd Pa. cavalry thus putting Chormann under the command of William Woods Averell who in turn was under the command of Brigadier General Fitz John Porter. On Nov. 9 1861 the New York Times reported "The Eighth Pennsylvania Cavalry Col. Chormann has been brigaded with the Third from the same State. The brigade is commanded by Col. W.W. Averell of the latter regiment. Both are rapidly improving in efficiency and drill." But on Nov. 27 the Philadelphia Inquirer reported that "The statement that charges have been filed against Col. Chormann is said to be erroneous. The Colonel is laboring energetically to ensure the perfection ofÂ drill desireable in all well disciplined regiments." By January 17 1862 Chormann had resigned his commission to be replaced by Capt. David Gregg of the 6th U. S. cavalry an experienced officer and a graduate of West Point. Chormann had endorsed Merrillâ€™s Patent Breech-Loading Carbine on September 19th 1861 his letter to General J. W. Ripley Chief of Ordnance Washington D. C. soon appearing in an advertisement for the weapons but so had many other officers. Thus both the reason for his resignation and the purpose of this document remain unknown. Little is known about Ernest G. Chormann other than in his autobiography below and for his filing of numerous patents. He was an inventor and also active as an artist between 1853-1880 See Frick Museum Art Reference Library. In 1852 he exhibited saddle patterns at the Twenty-second Exhibition of American Manufactures at the Franklin Institute; in 1861 listed as an engraver and die sinker he bid on a $2500 contract with the U.S. Government for coin designs as part of ongoing experiments into how to prevent â€œabrasion counterfeiting and deterioration of the coins of the United States; â€ he was hired as the engraver; he filed for optical and mechanical patents; in 1880 he painted "Letitia Street House 1880" now at the Historical Society of Pennsylvania. The Pennsylvania's Rangers' War song: "Up ! up ! with our flag let its bright stars gleam out" was dedicated to him. The Pennsylvania Historical Review 1886 lists his firm Chormann & Mitchell as "inventors and patentees of the specialties manufactured. They manufacture all kinds of art furniture including parlor easels novel and chaste in design labor- saving studio easels sketching easels artistsâ€™ kits etc. together with interior decorations. the studio easel being awarded the first premium and diploma at the Centennial Exposition of 1876." Chormann adds his somewhat rather fanciful biography: "Mr. Chormann the founder of this business was born in France. Early in life he was noted for his energy talent and determination and visited as an explorer and traveller nearly every country in the civilized world. In 1836 he was a colonel in the San Jacinto war where he manifested great courage and prudence and on its termination made an effort to explore almost alone the sources of the Nile. Eventually after exploring various portions of Australia New Mexico Arizona and Lower California and undergoing great hardships and dangers from climate and Indians he was appointed on his arrival in Texas in 1845 captain and superintendent of the Texan Rangers. He was actively engaged in 1847 and 1848 in the Mexican war where his distinguished military ability was of great service to the United States. During his explorations and travels in the West he was associated with those famous old Indian fighters namely De Soto and California Joe. Mr. Chormann was the first white man who explored the Western portion of the Colorado River the whole of the country at that period 1843 watered by this stream being inhabited by tribes of Indians of the most cruel and treacherous nature. Colonel Chormann organized the first regiment that served during the war and which was known as Chormannâ€™s Mounted Rangers. On the 14th April 1861 immediately after the bombardment of Fort Sumpter he began recruiting and put 5000 men in the field. In 1865 he brought East the first specimen of the moss agate. In a few months Mr. Chormann intends to publish a work on Colorado and the West illustrated with splendid engravings which will prove of the greatest interest to all lovers of nature. He was the inventor of stylograph printing and is noted in scientific and artistic circles for his inflexible integrity and sterling ability." 2. Fitz John Porter 1822-1901 Civil War Union Major General West Point 1845 served in the Mexicanâ€“American War promoted to brigadier general of volunteers in 1861 and divisional commander in the newly formed Army of the Potomac under Maj.
