In 1861, Shelby enlisted as a captain in the Confederate cavalry and later fought at Wilson's Creek. Promoted to colonel, he commanded a brigade at Prairie Grove. He led his "Iron Brigade" of Missouri volunteers on the longest cavalry raid of the war. From September 22 to November 3, 1863, Shelby's force traversed 1,500 miles throughout Missouri, inflicting more than 1,000 casualties on Union forces, and capturing or destroying an estimated $2 million worth of Federal supplies and property. He was promoted to brigadier general on December 15, 1863, after the successful conclusion of the raid.
