SEVENTEENTH INFANTRY.
The Seventeenth
Infantry rendezvoused at Keokuk, and
was mustered into service. April 16,
1862. It was composed of a fine body
of men. It left St. Louis May 4, 1862,
for the front, and was placed at the
extreme left and in front of the army
at Corinth on the evening of May 9th.
After the close of the Beige at Corinth,
the regiment joined the march to Boonville,
Miss., in pursuit of Beauregard. Returning,
the regiment went into camp at Clear
Springs and remained until August, when
it moved to Jacinto where it remained
until the battle of Iuka. This was the
first battle of
483
the regiment, and for some manifestly
unjust cause the regiment received the
censure of General Rosecrans. Its luckless
disaster was the result of somebody's
blunder, for which the regiment was
not responsible, but were the sufferers.
Next carne the battle of Corinth, where
the regiment won high commendation from
Rosecrans, who said it had amply atoned
for the blunders of Iuka. In November
the regiment joined Grant's campaign
against Vicksburg, returning in December
to Lumpkin's Mills, where it went into
camp on the 24th. In this campaign the
boys learned the sublime art of foraging,
and it was said of them that they could
"fall out" catch, kill and
dress a hog, and get into line, without
losing "the step." In February,
1863, marched to Memphis, thence moved
to the vicinity of Vicksburg, where
for four months it endured arduous service.
It next entered upon the Yazoo Pass
expedition, and shared the privations
and trials of that foolish and unsuccessful
move. May, 13, 1863, it, with 17th army
corps, 7th division, started for Jackson,
where the regiment fought a hard fight,
and won the victory. On the 14th the
army started back to Vicksburg, and
on the 16th fought the memorable battle
of Champion's Hill, where the 17th and
10th Missouri, with less than five hundred
men, at a most critical juncture turned
the tide of battle and saved the Union
army from a bad disaster. On the 20th
it arrived in the rear of Vicksburg,
where it remained until the fort was
surrendered. During the siege of Vicksburg
the regiment met its most serious loss
at the blowing up of Fort Hill, the
key to the rebel fortifications. The
regiment was detailed to enter the crater
of the exploded fort, where they were
met by an overwhelming infuriated force
armed with hand-grenades. The slaughter
was terrible; the killed and wounded
being mutilated by the shells. From
Vicksburg the regiment went to Chattanooga
and bivouacked under Lookout Mountain,
on the 19th of July. It was not engaged
in the battles at that point until the
afternoon of the 25th when it had one
of its hardest fought battles. From
Chattanooga it moved to Huntsville,
Alabama,
where it was stationed to protect the
railroad in front of Sherman's army.
At Tilton, on the line of the Chattanooga
railroad, the regiment was quartered
in a block-house, and on the 13th of
October the rebels swooped down on them
in force. A flag Of truce was sent to
the little garrison with orders to surrender
or no quarter would be given. Col. Archer
replied: "Give my compliments to
General Stewart and tell him if he wants
my command to come and take it."
"But," said the rebel officer,
"we have thirteen thousand men,
and can storm your ""works."
"Can't help that," replied
Archer, "we were put here to hold
this place, and you can't have it 'till
you blow us out." "I admire
your pluck, but you havn't [haven't]
got a d-d bit of judgment" responded
the rebel officer as he retired. In
less than ten minutes not less than
five thousand men besieged that block-house,
pouring shot and shell into it until
the roof was torn off, and the timbers
nearly gone, when further resistance
being useless and .to save, the slaughter
of his men the white flag went up. As
General Stuart came up he remarked to
Col. Archer: "Do you know who you
are fighting? Your obstinacy has given
me a d---d sight of trouble, and detained
me nearly a whole day." "That's
just what I was put here for,"
replied Archer. In the winter of 1864,
the regiment came north on veteran furlough
and returned to join Sherman at Goldsboro
in his triumphal march to Washington.
The regiment was mustered out at Louisville,
Ky.; July 25, 1865, and was the last
of the veteran regiments.

EIGHTEENTH INFANTRY.
The Eighteenth
Infantry regiment was organized under
the call of July 4, 1862, for 300,000
men. It was mustered into the United
States service August 6, 1862, with
a rank and file of 860 men, John Edwards,
colonel. On the 11th of August it started
for the field. While it has not the
prominent record of some Iowa regiments,
it was none the less efficient in service,
brave in action, prompt in duty. That
it is not so notable is because there
is less known of it. From the time it
whipped and cleaned out the braggart
Marmaduke at Springfield, Missouri,
January 8, 1862, who attacked with at
least 1,870 men, while the Eighteenth
had only 500 men, on to the fight with
Price, April 30, 1864, its conduct was
such as to elicit high commendation
from division commanders. It had the
reputation of getting out of difficulties
through smaller chances than few would
have dared attempted. At Poison Spring,
April 16, 1864, was a notable instance.
The
485
regiment got completely isolated and
hemmed in on all sides by the enemy.
It flocked together and wormed itself
out, fighting rod by rod, scattering
the enemy by charges, when it would
re-form and occupy the vacuum, and thus
cut its way out and returned to Camden.
In May, 1864, it returned to Fort Smith,
Arkansas, having marched 730 miles over
mountains, through swamps, subsisting
on raw corn, wading days and nights
through mud and water. At Fort Smith
it remained during the summer and fall
of 1864, waking in the meantime several
long and brilliant expeditions. February
26, 1865, four companies were sent to
Van Buren, Arkansas, for garrison duty,
until July 6, when the regiment was
ordered to Little Rock for muster out.
July 21 it started for Davenport, where
August 5, the men were discharged, having
served three years and two days. The
regiment marched 4,160 miles. Of the
original number of the regiment but
tour hundred returned for muster out.
Of the original officers but eight returned.

NINETEENTH INFANTRY.
The Nineteenth
Infantry was the first regimental organization
under the call of the President, of
July 2, 1862, for 300,000 volunteers.
It was mustered into service in August,
1862, at Keokuk, and left for the field
September 4. Its first three months'
service was that of marching and countermarching
through Missouri and Arkansas, in constant
chase of rebels who would not stand
to fight. Had it been retained in Missouri,
and not taken part in the battle at
Prairie Grove, it might have marched
to its grave without a record. At Prairie
Grove, December 7,1832, the regiment
had its first encounter with the enemy
in a pitched battle, and, after a hot
contest, drove them from the field,
with great loss to the enemy. After
this battle the regiment took a rest,
on the battle-field, and remained nearly
three weeks, when, January 2,. 1863,
it again resumed the march, and was
on the tramp constantly until the 3d
of June, when it started for St. Louis,
and bade adieu to Arkansas. The 19th
of June it left St. Louis for Vicksburg,
where it wai3 assigned to Gerron's division,
and stationed on the right of the division.
There it remained, digging rifle pits,
planting batteries and siege-guns until
the city was captured, when it joined
the Yazoo Pass expedition. Returning
again to Vicksburg, the regiment moved
to Louisiana, when began the saddest
page in the history of the regiment.
On the 29th of September, at the battle
of' Sterling Falls, near the Atchafalaya,
more than half the regiment was captured,
most of the men refusing to surrender
until their guns were taken from them.
The regiment was marched to a rebel
prison, at Camp Ford, at Tyler, Texas.
They were marched the first forty hours
without food, and then given short rations
of corn meal and raw beef, with nothing
to cook either in. They were inhumanly
treated while at Tyler. On the 7th of
October they were marched to Shreveport,
180 miles, for parol, [parole] but were
not, and again sent back to Tyler. The
weather was cold, and the men suffered
terribly for want of clothing and shelter.
November 29th the privates were paroled,
and marched again to Shreveport, but
were kept there until the 25th of March,
when they were again marched back to
Tyler. During their stay at Shreveport
several men attempted to escape, but
were hunted down with bloodhounds and
captured. On the march back to Tyler
the men were treated like brutes. They
had scarce clothing enough to cover
their bodies, and no shoes, and marked
their path with blood. They were broken
down with exposure and starvation. If
one lagged behind a rope was thrown
around his neck, make fast to the horn
of
487
a saddle, and he was dragged along.
Remaining a week at Tyler they were
marched to Marshall, sixty miles, for
exchange, where they were again disappointed
and sent back to the torments at Tyler.
On the 9th of July, 1864, they were
again paroled and marched to Shreveport,
where they took boats to the mouth of
Red river, where, July 22, 1864, they
were exchanged, and ended a prison life
of ten months. The distance traveled
while they were prisoners was 830 miles.
Proceeding to New Orleans the regiment
excited much sympathy from their terrible
condition. They were photographed, and
copies sent broadcast through the North
as specimens of Southern hospitality.
Here it was rejoined by those of the
regiment who escaped capture at Sterling
Farms, and the reunited regiment operated
with the forces at various points in
Louisiana and Arkansas, and in the fall
joined the expedition against Mobile
and Spanish Fort, in March, 1865, where
it arrived on the 26th, and at once
went into a regular siege, resulting
in the capture of the fort on the 8th
of April. The regiment was employed
in dismantling the fort until May 4,
when it removed to Dauphin Island; thence,
June 14, to Mobile, where, July 10,
it was ordered home for muster-out,
and arrived at Davenport July 26, and
was discharged August 1, 1865.
The casualties of
the regiment are remarkable for the
very small percentage of loss from sickness
and disease, considering the privations
endured.

TWENTY- FOURTH INFANTRY.
The Twenty-fourth
Infantry was known in the army as the
"Methodist Regiment." It was
organized the first two weeks in August,
1862, rendezvoused at Camp Strong, Muscatine;
was mustered on September 18, and on
October 20th started by steamboat for
Helena, Ark. In the winter of 1862-3
it took part in Gen. Grant's movements
in Arkansas, and in April, 1863, moved
to Vicksburg, and received its introduction
to the horrors of war at Port Gibson,
May 1. At Champion's Hil1, May 16, it
was in the thickest of the fight. It
forced its way through the enemy's line,
captured a six-gun battery in its rear,
and through the utter incapacity of
its colonel it suffered a terrible loss.
After the siege of Vicksburg it moved
to New Orleans and joined Gen. Bank's
masterly Teche expedition, notable for
its aimless object and successful failure.
It wintered at Madisonville, and on
March 13, 1864, started on the Red river
campaign. At Sabine Cross Roads, April
8, it fought gallantly and suffered
severely. Returning to New Orleans June
13th it sailed by ocean for Washington.
This was the first appearance of Iowa
troops in Virginia. It was the first
Iowa regiment to enter the national
capital, and attracted great attention,
the reputation of the Hawkeye boys having
gone before, It, with the twenty-second
and twenty-eighth, at once joined Sheridan's
army in the Shenandoah Valley, and added
new glory to their fame at Winchester,
September 19, Fisher's Hill, September
22, Cedar Creek, October 19. January
14, 1865, it left Baltimore for Savannah,
Georgia, thence to Moorehead City, and
