This regiment was organized as infantry, and it served as such at Shiloh and Stone's River ; but, in April, 1863, the men were mounted, after which it served as mounted infantry until October, 1863, when it was officially designated the Eighth Indiana Cavalry, and two new companies— L and M — were added. It was organi/.ed at Indianapolis, August 29, 1861, and was immediately ordered into Kentucky, where it was subsequently assigned to Buell's Army, with which it marched to Shiloh. Under command of Lieutenant-Colonel Jones it fought with honorable distinction at Stone's River, sustaining there a loss of 30 killed, 119 wounded, and 231 captured or miss ing. The regiment reenlisted in February, 1864, and in April returned to Indiana on its veteran furlough. It rejoined Sherman's Army July 27th, in time to take an active part in the cavalry operations and raids around Atlanta. It then accompanied Sherman on his March to the Sea, having been assigned to the First Brigade of Kilpatrick's Cavalry Division, in which it remained during Sherman's northward march through the Carolinas. Under Colonel Jones it distinguished itself at Averasboro, where it lost 14 killed and 59 wounded, the heaviest loss of any regiment, cavalry or infantry, in that battle. _10049
