Pfau's company of horse was noted for the energy and success with which it performed the work of scouting and skirmishing marked out for it. The original members were mustered out on July 11, 1864, at Camp Dennison, Ohio, on expiration of term of service, and the organization, composed of recruits, was retained in the service until May 22, 1865, when it was mustered out at Cumberland, Md., in accordance with orders from the war department.
