Hopkins' Battery.—When Capt. Crawford's company captured a Confederate battery at old Fort Wayne on Oct. 22, 1862, Company B of the Twelfth Kansas cavalry was detached to man the captured guns and became known as "Hopkins' Battery." It took part in the engagements at Cane Hill, Prairie Grove, and some minor actions, and was then stationed at Fort Gibson until July 17, 1863, when it participated in the fight at Honey Springs. On Oct. 1, 1863, by order of the war department, it was made the Third Kansas battery. (See War of 1861.)
