The First Nebraska In recent years the name "First Nebraska" has been most often associated with the Nebraska regiment that served in the Spanish American War, as veterans of that organization have been prominent in affairs of the state since 1900, and vet erans of the Civil War organiza tion have passed from the public view. Still the "Frist Nebraska" of our early days, and one of our most distinguished military un, its, was the Civil War regiment raised in Nebraska in 1861. Actually, this was not the first military unit raised and used by Nebraskans. In 1855 a Nebraska Brigade, consisting of two regi ments of volunteers was raised to protect the territory against possible Indian hostilities. v The 'next year a permanent volunteer establismer.t was pro vided for by the Territorial Leg islature, forerunner of our pre sent National Guard organiza tions. Indian troubles were fre quent during the late 1850 s culminating in the Pawnee War of 1859. In that year the Pawnee com mitted a number of depredations in the area along the Elkhorn valley, and the Nebraska volun teers under John M. Thayer was called out and whites and Ind ians met west of present day Norfolk. While there was no big battle the village of Battle Creek received Its name from the campaign. From these Nebraska volun teers, raised at the direction of the Territorial Legislature after 1855, came the "First Nebraska" the Nebraska regiment that ser ved through the Civil War. The regiment, a body of nearly 1,000 men was. raised in a territory having a population of about 30,000 early in 1861. Colonel John M. Thayer was commander. Many Nebraskans believed a regiment was neces sary to defend the Nebraska frontier, especially as regular troops were being withdrawn from Fort Kearny and elsewhere and this would be the function pg the "First Nebraska." It was not assigned this task however. In June, 1861, it was ordered to St. Joseph, Missouri and was engaged in campaigns in the major theatres of the war. Nebraska territory raised i annthsr vniimtccp rotrimont r moot rnni,n in tot. . i i V i, k 1111, uiuiaa uiuuitiu ill luuj . and 1864 The "First Nebraska" was as- signed to General Grant's com mand was placed under General Lou Wallace. The spring of 1862 0 v- .'-5. . 1 Mi- ITT tfTtUJ . 1 saw the engagements that made Oeneral Grant famous, und the "First Nebraska" playing an outstanding part in them. At the capture of Fort Donel son, the first really important Union victory, the Nebraskan's were commended by both Gen eral Grant and General Wallace. Less that two months later the Regiment was involved in one of the major battles of the war and one of the bloodiest the Battle of Shiloh. Here again the Nebraskan's distinguished them selves cn the battlefield. Perhaps as a reward to weary but hard foot soldiers, the "First Nebraska" was changed from an infantry to a cavalry unit in 1863. It continued its outstanding service until 1865, the first of Nebraska's famous military units. A man should work eight hours and sleep eight hours, but not the same eight hours. Sun shine Magazine.
