TWENTY -FIFTH INFANTRY.

     The Twenty-fifth Infantry was organized in August, 1862, and in N 0vember was sent to Helena, Arkansas, thence in December it joined the Vicksburg campaign. It was attached to Hovey's brigade, of Steele's division, and at Chickasaw Bayou fought its first battle, December 29. At Arkansas Post, January 11, it had its second battle, and suffered severely.
     The regiment charged the enemy through an open field, under a galling fire; passed their obstructions and up to within 100 yards of their works, where the position was held for three hours, when the garrison hoisted the white flag. Captain Palmer was wounded. Privates Hiram Price of company A, and B. F. Weaver of company C, who bore the regimental colors, received special commendation for their gallant conduct. After the battle of Arkansas Post, the regiment made several minor expeditions, and then marched with Sherman via Jackson to the rear of Vicksburg. After the fall of Vicksburg, it joined the march on Jackson, and took active part in the battle of July 16, resulting in the stampede of the rebel Johnson and his army. Thence the regiment returned to Big Black river, where it was stationed until September 23, when it moved with Sherman's army for Chattanooga, attached to the first division, fifteenth army corps, the only division which encountered the enemy on the way. Though the fighting was not severe, it was literally a running fight from Cherokee to Tuscumbia. From Tuscumbia the regiment returned to Cherokee station; thence to Chickasaw landing, where it crossed the Tennessee river November 4; thence direct to Chattanooga, arriving November 23, and the next morning was ordered to the front under a point of rocks on the north end of Lookout Mountain, to support battery I, first New York artillery, and so near the enemy's guns that even persons were easily recognized, but

the inability of the enemy to sufficiently depress their gun, gave the regiment opportunity to witness the grand and magnificent battle among the clouds, without being disturbed. At the battle of Mission Ridge the following day it was detached, with the twenty-sixth, and sent to the left to receive an expected advance of the enemy, which did not come. It, however, joined in the chase after Bragg's fleeing army, driving him into his stronghold at Ringgold, among the broken hills of North Carolina. The Twenty-fifth was placed in the assaulting line at the extreme left. After an hour of hot contest the enemy was dislodged from its position in the hi1ls, and fled to Dalton. After this battle the regiment marched to Woodville, Alabama, where it went into winter quarters; but February 11 it was ordered to the field, marched to Cleveland and thence back to Woodville, where it remained until it started with Sherman on his march to the sea. The Iowa brigade was always at the front, and did valiant service. At the capture of Columbia, February 15, 1865, the Iowa brigade captured the city, and the regimental colors of the thirteenth Iowa were the first to wave over the capitol building, which were soon supplanted by the stars and stripes belonging to the thirty-first Iowa. From Columbia the regiment moved to Goldsboro and Raleigh, thence to Washington, where it was mustered out June 6, 1865.

THIRTIETH INFANTRY.

     The Thirtieth Infantry regiment was organized in August, 1862, and was mustered into the United States service at Keokuk, September 23. It was immediately sent to Arkansas, where it joined the White River and Tallahatchie marches, thence to Vicksburg via Chickasaw Bayou, December 29, 1862. It was not engaged at Chickasaw Bayou, though it had four men wounded while lying under the enemy's guns. At Arkansas Post, January 11, 1864, the regiment was under fire three hours. It engaged the enemy from behind their works, and lying on the ground rattled way until the white flag was hoisted, and the enemy falling into their hands they were obliged to guard them until after midnight before they were relieved. The "Deer Creek" was the next page in the history of the regiment, followed by the march on Vicksburg, via Grand Gulf and Jackson, as a part of Steele's Division. It was on the extreme right of the division and in the memorable charge on the works, May 22, that Colonel Abbott was killed while leading the regiment. The place where he fell was named by General Sherman "Abbott's V ally.'" The service of the regiment during the siege of Vicksburg was hard and enervating, owing to heat and lack of water. The skirmish line was one of danger, and the boys selected each a spot of security where he could be found regularly for the forty-five days of the siege peppering away at the "rebs." After the siege was raised the regiment went to camp on Big Black river, where it remained to the latter part of September, when it returned to Vicksburg; thence went to Memphis and Corinth; thence to Chattanooga, where it was attached to Osterhaus' division, which moved out to Tuscumbia to divert the attention of the enemy from General Sherman's real line of march. It was on this march Colonel Torrence, its second commanding officer, was killed. October 23, the regiment sent home to Adjutant-General Baker two flags worn out, which, between October 26, 1862, and October 10, 1868, had been carried 700 miles.
     The regiment joined General Sherman in his march to the sea, and joined in the grand review at Washington, where it was mustered out June 5, 1865.
     The casualties of the regiment will be found on page 184.
     Washington county was represented in companies E and K, and on the staff by David S., McConnahey, quarter-master sergeant, promoted from company K. and Thomas W. Hyde, chaplain, promoted from first sergeant, company E.

THIRTY-SEVENTH INFANTRY.

     The Thirty-seventh Infantry was the well-known "Grey-Beard Regiment," from the fact that it was composed of men over 45 years of age. It was organized under special orders of the War Department, to give opportunity to that class of patriotic citizens who were too old to endure the fatigue of long marches and exposure of active field service, nevertheless were desirous of rendering the Nation some service. It was, therefore, provided that the regiment should be detailed only for poet and garrison duty. Its history, therefore, is not brilliant, yet it performed valuable and

503

effective service. It was stationed at St. Louis, Alton, Memphis, Cincinnati, and Rock Island. In July, 1864, a detachment of fifty men were sent as guard on a supply train over the Memphis & Charleston Railroad. On the way the train was fired into by bushwhackers concealed in the brush, and two men were killed. The result was that forty of the most prominent citizens of that section were arrested, and each day twenty of them were placed on the cars in the most conspicuous places, and thus were the rebels made to do guard duty. This plan was continued until the attack on trains ceased. The regiment was organized in October, 1862; mustered into the United States service December 15, 1862, and mustered out at Davenport, May 24, 1865. The casualties will be found on page 184.
     Washington county was represented in companies G and H.
