te ranks. The 6th and 7th Cavalry served most of their time in the Indian Territory, engaged in campaigns against the hostile tribes. Company F of the 7th Cavalry had a fight with a large force of Indians near Julesburg, and was obliged to retreat, leaving 14 of their detachment dead on the field. The bodies of these men were horribly mutilated by the savages. The 37th Iowa, or Graybeard regiment, was a remarkable command. It was organized under General Order 89, State of Iowa, August 25, 1862, which specified that the regiment should be composed of active and vigorous men, over the age of 45, and be assigned to garrison duty. The average age of the men thus recruited was 57 years. The rolls of the 37th, on which the age of each man is recorded, show that 3 of the recruits were over eighty, 7 were over seventy, and 123 were over sixty years of age. They enlisted for three years, and the hardy old pioneers performed their allotted duty as well as any regiment could have lone.
