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troops were being withdrawn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

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.
