Second Regiment Cavalry
Pursuit having been discontinued by orders of General Buell, the enemy pushed forward through Cumberland Gap into East Tennessee.
During November it continued in Kentucky. In December, 1863, and January, 1863, it participated in the raid under General Carter into East Tennessee, severing the enemy's railroad communications and destroying supplies. During this expedition which occupied twenty-two days of unusually hard service, the regiment was engaged in several severe skirmishes; at Blountsville, Zolikoffer and Watanaga.
Soon after the Carter raid it proceeded to Louisville, and on February 3d, thence to Nashville. During February and March, it was stationed at Mur-freesboro and Franklin.
