From: Minnesota in the Civil War: An Illustrated History, by Kenneth Carley

At the end of January 1862, companies from Minnesota were in St. Louis to train at Benton Barracks, where they joined companies from Iowa (three of them German), Nebraska, and Missouri. The companies were organized as the Curtis Horse Regiment, named after Gen. Samuel Curtis, then commander of Benton Barracks. On April 15, 1862, on orders from the secretary of war, Curtis Horse was renamed the Fifth Iowa Cavalry, as more of the men in the regiment were from that state.

The regiment was assigned typical duties for the cavalry. They were to protect railroad and telegraph lines to ensure delivery of supplies and dispatches. Much of their time was spent in scouting, escort and picket duty. In battle, they would be in the advance line of on the flanks and often would chase the retreating enemy. As the army increasingly lived off the land, the cavalry engaged in raids to bring food and horses. The Fifth Iowa Cavalry was active in western an middle Tennessee and Kentucky and northern Alabama. In summer 1862, they built telegraph lines and repaired bridges enabling General Buell to reach Shiloh for a Union victory and kept lines open during the siege of Corinth. Throughout 1863, they continued scouting and raiding and pursued Rebels after Chickamauga.

In January 1864 the regiment's term of service expired. Most of the men reenlisted and were granted a thirty-day veterans' furlough.

It was during this furlough time, William Blum was married.
-----------------------------------
The regiment originally known as "Curtis Horse" - which title was subsequently changed to the "Fifth Iowa Cavalry" - commenced organization at Benton Barracks, near St. Louis, Mo., on December 20, 1861, pursuant to the following order:

Detachment under same command twenty-seven men, company of Osage County Mounted Rifles, commanded by Captain Kidd-one company.

Other detachments and companies may be attached hereafter, not to exceed twelve companies.

It later goes on to say that Company D was composed of men recrited in Omaha, Neb., by William Curl, and thirty-five men from Missouri, recruited by William Aston, and was mustered into service at St. Louis, Nov. 13, 1861.
