Fletcher, Captain 13th United states Infantry on the 26th of October, 1863. The Regiment was raised for special service in Kentucky to serve as a mounted force to aid in preventing raids and to clear the State of guerrillas. The term of service ended 26th October, 1864; but was kept under marching orders until 19th December owing to the active campaign of Confederates under Hood against Nashville, Tennessee. It was mustered out by C. A.
