SHILOH BATTLE FIELD
(pg 527-558)
From a paper contributed to a local publication by Major D. W.
Reed a few years ago the following interesting facts are gleaned:
Shiloh was one of the most if not the most sanguinary of
the battles of the civil war. On no other field was there a
greater per cent of loss if the total number present, including
reserves, is taken in making the estimated.
The five division of Grants army on the field April
6, 1862, numbered 39,830 officers and men present for duty,
including hospital corps, teamsters, musicians, etc., or about
32,000 fighting men. Of these there were killed, wounded and
missing 10,640, about 27 per cent. Of the present for duty, or 33
per cent, of the fighting force. The Confederates had present for
duty officers and men, 43,968 and lost in killed wounded and
missing, 10,699, about the same per cent, as the Union army, and
when the battle ended more than 20,000 soldiers were dead or
wounded on the field.
More Iowa soldiers were killed and wounded at Shiloh than
at any other battle of the war. Of the 6,753 soldiers from this
state that fought on that field, 2,407-nearly 36 per cent-were
killed, wounded or missing.
Allamakee county was represented at the battle by Company
B, 12 Iowa Infantry, which bore its full share in the perils and
misfortunes of that eventful field, and was unsurpassed in the
honors which it won. It had 56 men killed, wounded and missing,
and of the missing had 16 that died of wounds or disease in
Souther prisons.
Colonel D. B. Henderson, later Speaker of the House,
introduced a bill in Congress, establishing the Shiloh National
Military Park and providing for the purchase of the land on which
the battle was fought, and restoring, as nearly as possible, the
whole field to the condition it was in when Grant established his
camps there in 1862.
Under this act of Congress commissioners were appointed by
the Secretary of War, one from the Army of the Tennessee, one
from the Army of the Ohio and one from the Confederate Army, and
large sums were expended by the Government in the purchase of
land, buildings, roads, and other improvements, and many
thousands of dollars by the States in the erection of monuments;
3,546 acres of land have been purchased; the underbrush cleared
away; old fields restored, and 27 miles of graveled roads built.
The old camps have been located and marked with the name of
regiment that occupied them, and in some cases the place of every
tent of the regiment has been found by the ditch made around it,
forty years before. Each and every position of importance
occupied by any regiment or battery, Union or Confederate has
been marked by an iron tablet which tells the time of day when
the place was held and other items of interest. These tablets are
of cast iron on iron posts which are set in concrete, making them
as durable as granite. The face of each tablet is painted white,
the backs, border and lettering of different colors, to indicate
the different armies; blue for the Army of the Tennessee; yellow
for the Army of the Ohio, and red for the Confederate Army, so
that each tablet may indicate the army it represents as far as it
can be seen. Over 400 of these tablets have been cast and so
placed on the field that any one interested may trace the
movements of any regiment from its camp or bivouac in the morning
to its resting place at night, and read its record at every
stopping place.
Most of the Northern states have erected monuments to their
regiments. Iowa has a fine state monument costing $25,000, and
eleven regimental monuments.
The one for the 12th Iowa stands at the side of the old
sunken road at the Hornets Nest, and is inscribed:
IOWA
TO HER
12TH INFANTRY
TUTTLES (1ST) BRIGADE,
W. H. L. WallaceS (2d) Division,
On the reverse:
IOWA
12TH REGIMENT INFANTRY VOLUNTEERS,
COMMANDED BY COL. J. J. WOOD, (WOUNDED AND CAPTURED.)
CAPT.. S. R. EDGINGTON, (CAPTURED.)
These splendid monuments, iron tablets and
old cannon, scattered over the field and along its pleasant
drives, telling their stories of gallant deeds, have created a
new interest in Shiloh. Many old soldiers, Union and Confederate,
are revisiting the old places, and in the most friendly and
fraternal spirit, discuss the various incidents of the battle as
they together read the inscriptions that tell where Wallace fell
or Johnston died: where Hardee formed his battle line or Cleburne
struggled in the morass in front of Shiloh church. They together
climb the hill up which the dashing 6th Mississippi charged and
lost 325 out of 400 of its men, or descend the ravine where the
9th Illinois bravely held its ground until 61 of its men were
killed and 305 wounded. The Hornets Nest is always a place
of interest where the survivors of the brigades of Shaver,
Gladden, Stephens, Gibson, Anderson and Wood, meet Iowas
sons on the 2d, 7th, 8th, 12th and 14th Regiments and tell of the
struggle through the thicket where the brush was literally cut
away by bullets and the ground so thickly strewn with dead that a
person might walk over the place on dead bodies. Many of these
visitors have been able to find the very tree from behind which
they carried on the stubborn contest, or the remains of a rotting
log that sheltered them when wounded.
On the 14th day of October, 1909, at 5:26 P. M., a cyclone struck
the northeast portion of the park, cutting a path 200 yards wide
and a mile and a half long through the park to the river, killing
seven people outright and severely injuring several more. Some
ten thousand trees were uprooted or twisted off; and the splendid
Iowa monument that cost $25,000 was blown down and badly damaged.
The work of restoring this monument was not completed for more
than two years, but the cost was but $7,340, about one-half of
the estimate. On the fiftieth anniversary of the battle, April 6,
1912, this monument was rededicated with impressive ceremonies,
by Governor Carroll and other Iowa notables.
Major Reed, who was severely wounded in the first days
battle, April 6, 1862, and lay out in the rain all night, is now
very appropriately the Chairman of the Shiloh National Military
Park Commission, and has made his home there for years engaged in
superintending the work.
THIRTEENTH INFANTRY
COMPANY A
Saunders, Elza. Age 18. Postville. Enlisted and mustered Oct. 31,
1864. Mustered out June 30, 1865, Prairie du Chien, Wis.
Miller, Julian D. Postville. (Company unknown).
The Thirteenth Iowa Volunteer Infantry was mustered in at
Davenport, Iowa, October 7, 1861, by Capt. Alexander Chambers, U.
S. A., and mustered out at Louisville, Ky., July 21, 1865. The
regiment made a brilliant record but its history is hardly
appropriate here, as the few in its ranks from this county were
recruits in the latter part of 1864. They were however in season
to join in the march to the sea, with their veteran comrades.
TWENTY-FIRST INFANTRY
Firman, James H. Age 18. Allamakee County. Enlisted in Co. D and

Aug. 18, 1862. Mustered out July 15, 1865, Baton Rouge, La. (Co.
B.).

March 11, and mustered April 5, 1864. Transferred to 34th and
38th Consolidated, July 12, 1865. Mustered out Aug. 10, 1865, New
Orleans, La.
TWENTY-SEVENTH INFANTRY
The Twenty-seventh Regiment of Iowa Volunteer Infantry assembled
at Camp Franklin, near Dubuque, and the several companies were
there mustered into service by Captain George S. Pierce of the
Regular Army, on dates ranging from September 1 to October 3,
1862. October 11th the regiment was embarked on transports from
Fort Snelling, Minn., to operate against the hostile Indians, and
six companies marched to Mille Lacs without encountering
opposition. The regiment was then transferred to Cairo, Ill., and
November 20th to Natchez, La., to join General Shermans
army; and later it performed many marches with various
expeditions in Mississippi, Tennessee and Arkansas, assisting in
the capture of Little Rock without being actually engaged. In the
last of January, 1864, it participated in the Meridan expedition
with General Sherman, resulting in the capture or destruction of
vast quantities of confederate supplies and much railroad
property.
Up to this time the Twenty-seventh Iowa had a remarkable
experience, having been in service over fifteen months, and
faithfully performed all the duties assigned it, but so far had
seen little actual conflict, although its losses had been very
heavy from sickness. It was now to enter upon a new experience,
being assigned to the Red River expedition under General Banks,
which saw hard fighting but was finally unsuccessful. In the
capture of Fort De Russy and in the hard fought battle at
Pleasant Hill, the Twenty-seventh bore a conspicuous part and
improved the opportunity to place itself in the forefront of
Iowas gallant fighting regiments. It had marched and toiled
and endured great hardships, and now at Pleasant Hill, April 9,
1864, it shared in the honor of saving Banks army from
destruction by the overwhelming forces of the enemy; and on the
18th of May sustained its reputation in the battle of Old Oaks,
Louisiana.
After the abandonment of the Red River expedition the regiment
participated in the engagements at Ditch Bayou, Ark., and Tupelo
and Old Town Creek, Miss. In this expedition the brigade was
commanded by Colonel Gilbert, and the regiment by Capt. A. M.
Haslip of Company A. Later in the year 1864 the regiment was in
the forced marches of General Smith in pursuit of Price through
Missouri; and December 15 and 16 it was bearing its share in the
battle of Nashville, Tenn. In the spring of 1865 the regiment
went down the river to New Orleans, and from there to Mobile,
Ala., where it participated in the siege and capture of Fort
Blakely, April 9th. The next march was to Montgomery, and from
there it proceeded to Vicksburg, in July; and August 8, 1865, the
regiment was mustered out. During its term of service, the
Twenty-seventh marched over 3,000 miles, and traveled by
steamboat and railroad over 10,000 miles; and no regiment has a
record of more faithful and honorable service. Mustered out
August 8, 1865, at Clinton, Iowa, except as otherwise noted.

THIRTY-EIGHTH INFANTRY
The regiment was enrolled chiefly from the counties of
Winneshiek, Fayette, Howard, Chickasaw, and Bremer, and was
mustered into the service November 4, 1862, at Dubuque, Iowa. It
took part in the siege and capture of Vicksburg, in the Texas
Expedition under General Banks in the capture of Forts Morgan and
Blakely near Mobile, but although performing its full duty its
positions were such as not to involve many casualties in action.
It suffered very heavily, however, from sickness, both at
Vicksburg and Port Hudson, losing 313 men by disease during its
three years service. All the enlistments in this regiment from
Allamakee county were:

FIRST CAVALRY
Burlington, Iowa, was designated as the general rendezvous of the
companies composing this organization, which were mustered in
July 30, 1861, to August 17, 1861, by Captain Alexander Chambers
of the United States Army. This regiment had the honor of being
the first volunteer cavalry organization enlisted for a three
years term of service, to be accepted by the Government. On
the 30th of September the regiment took the field, entering into
the difficult duties involved in the struggle between the loyal
and disloyal citizens of Missouri, in the early days of October.
The operations of the cavalry being conducted largely by
battalions, no connected history of the services performed can be
given in this brief space. But the first real engagement in which
any portion of the regiment participated was fought on the 19th
of December, 1861, on Black river, near the town of Milford,
Missouri. April 14, 1862, a detachment had a skirmish with a
superior force of rebels in which Lieutenant Barnes distinguished
himself, with a part of Company K. At White River, Arkansas,
August 27, 1863, the regiment had 37 men killed and wounded; and
at Camden, April 4, 1864, 39 killed and wounded. In 1864 the
regiment became a veteran organization by the re-enlistment of a
large percentage of the command. The service of the regiment was
chiefly in Missouri and Arkansas, operating against the rebel
generals Price and Forrest, and in Tennessee, Louisiana, and at
the close of the war were sent into Texas during the pacification
of that state. The regiment was mustered out at Austin, Texas,
February 15, 1866.

SIXTH CAVALRY
The Sixth Regiment of Iowa Cavalry was origanized under a special
order of the War Department dated September 9, 1862, and the
companies were ordered into quarters at Camp Hendershott, near
Davenport, Iowa, where they were mustered into the service of the
United States, by Captain H. B. Hendershott, of the Regular Army,
on dates ranging from November 17, 1862, to March 5, 1863. To
this regiment fell the duty of protecting the settlers on our
northern frontier during the Sioux Indian outbreak then at its
height, and the character of this service was such as to involve
great hardship and suffering, particularly in the winter season.
The regiment left camp at Davenport March 16, 1863, and made a
long march across the State of Iowa, at a season when storms
prevailed and the roads were bad, reaching Sioux City April 26th.
Upon taking the field the regiment was divided, one battalion
going to Fort Randall and the others serving elsewhere until all
were assembled at Fort Pierre, where General Sully established
his base of supplies, having relieved General Cook. The
expedition under General Sully started from Fort Pierre August
21, 1863, and on the 3d of September the Indians were corralled
and defeated at White Stone Hill, in which battle the Sixth
Regiment had twenty-two killed and wounded. In the campaign of
1864 the hostile tribes were again encountered in force near the
Little Missouri River, 200 miles west of Fort Rice, by an
expedition under General Sully, and the Indians met with a
decisive defeat in actions on July 28, and August 8 and 9, 1864.
During the following winter the regiment was widely scattered;
and during the summer of 1865 the Indians remained comparatively
quiet. The Sixth remained in the field however as a safeguard to
the frontier, until replaced by troops from the Regular Army,
when it was assembled at Sioux City and there mustered out
October 17, 1865. The Sixth Iowa Cavalry spent more than two
years and a half upon the northern frontier, a considerable part
of the time engaged in active operations against a barbarous and
treacherous foe. They endured great privations and displayed true
heroism during this service, and the descendants of the pioneers
throughout that region should hold in grateful remembrance the
brave sons of Iowa who went forth from their homes and drove the
relentless savages from the scenes of their brutal massacres.

NINTH CAVALRY
The Ninth Regiment of Iowa Cavalry was organized under special
order of the War Department dated September 7, 1863, and ordered
into quarters at Davenport, Iowa, where it was mustered into
service November 30, 1863, by Lieut. Col. William N. Grier,
United States Army. Shortly after it was ordered to St. Louis,
Mo., where it at first occupied the old rebel Camp
Jackson, but soon after took up its quarters at Benton
Barracks, and in the following April at Jefferson Barracks. Early
in May, 1864, a detachment of the Ninth was sent to Hannibal and
Palmyra to intercept the notorious guerilla Quantrell, after his
infamous Lawrence Massacre, and succeeded in dispersing his band
and capturing a number of them. Later in the sam month the
regiment was sent to Devalls Bluff, Arkansas, from which
base it operated in detachments for scouting purposes, in which
work its services were engaged for a great part of the time
during the following year and a half or more, throughout the
States of Arkansas and Missouri; the latter part of this period
however being devoted to the suppression of lawlessness in the
mountainous regions of Arkansas, during the attempts to restore
civil government to this distracted section of the country. The
various companies were mustered out at Little Rock, Arkansas, at
different dates, Companies E and F being mustered out February 3,
1866. While the field of its operations was such that it was
disappointed in participating in any of the great battles of the
war, the Ninth performed with honor all the duties assigned to
it; and during its service of over two years the regiment marched
over 2,000 miles, was conveyed by boat and rail 1,700 miles, and
the marches of its various detachments approximated 8,000 miles
