Harrison County Iowa History by Joe Smith

When the seeds of discord were planted, or, I should rather say, consciously and helplessly left in our Federal Constitution by its framers, had, before the lapse of a single century of national existence, under the forcing heat of the slavery struggle, burst into the blood-red flower of Civil War, no county in all of the ninety and nine in the State of Iowa more promptly responded to the call, than did Harrison.

At first, the magnitude of the Secession monster was not realized, nor was the extent to which preparations had been made in the south half understood by our people. Many of our men then supposed that three, or at furthest, six months, would subdue the fractious natures of the Rebel hot-heads, yet, when six, aye, twelve and twenty-four months had elapsed, the suppression of this Rebel sentiment was scarcely nearer completion than when the first man enlisted from this county.

There were three elements in the county which appeared, so far as taking part in the dangers of the tented field, march or battles were concerned, personally conscious, that at the posts last named, there were many dangers to be met, and if possible, hard to overcome, viz.: The rebel sympathizer, the windy abolitionist, and the man of wealth. When the first news came that war was inaugurated, the rebel sympathizer boldly told us we could never subdue the South, that there was no power in the Constitution of the United States to coerce a Sovereign State; and what was the most aggravating, was the satanic smile which illuminated their countenances on the reception of the news of a Federal defeat. True, the number of these men in our midst was not great, but more than enough to establish the doctrine of National depravity and party bigotry. On the other hand, the Abolitionist took exceptions as to the manner of prosecuting the war, saying that the object of negro emancipation was not sufficiently prominent at the beginning, and unless this was made the objective point, the Union was not worth the saving; that it would be infinitely more preferable that the South should succeed in the establishment of their Confederacy than have a Union such as that of the past, blurred, disgraced, and cursed with human slavery. The men of wealth had worshiped the almighty dollar; the mammon of wealth was the shrine at which they bowed, and the deity that received all their sacrifices; the thought of shouldering a musket and lowering their cast to that of the common soldiery, and partaking of the fatigue of the march, the dangers of the battle, as well as being exposed to the killing malaria of the swamp or marsh, kept these at home slumbering in beds of down, and toasting their toes at the pleasant surroundings of a comfortable home.

I call to mind an individual, who, though holding an office, and anticipating a better one in the near future, when the news came that Sumter was fired upon, said " Good; now we of the North have an opportunity to whale them rascally Southerners into line, and we'll do it." Of all who made such boasts at the beginning of the war, not one of them ever did more than encourage others to enlist, so that they would be exempt from draft by reason of the locality filling its quota.

Sixteen months had passed and gone before any individual company was organized in the county, notwithstanding more than one hundred and fifty men had enlisted from the county prior to that time.

The men of the county were ripe for enlistment and were anxious for the opportunity, but unfortunately for the cause, some of those who had the ear of the Governor of the State at this time were anxious that some favored one who had made himself or themselves notorious by reason of the quantum of political mud they had carried for the party, were sought to be thrust upon the persons enlisting as officers, men in whom the real patriot had no confidence as to integrity, bravery or patriotism.

From the 1st of May, 1861, until May, 1864, on each Saturday, in more than a dozen of places in the county, men were on drill preparatory to entering the field either as cavalry, infantry or in battery. The outbursts of patriotism far excelled the hopes of the most sanguine. For country first, then party, was the unalloyed expression of nine-tenths of the entire arms bearing citizens. A few at the outset correctly measured the volume, intensity, duration and proportions of the mighty struggle being inaugurated; and to these a divided country presented a panorama of lost National greatness, and these without respect of party or party love, at once gave full and unqualified allegiance to the Nation's cause. In 1861 very many deserted the Democratic party because of the want of loyalty of this party, and joined their fortunes with those of the party in power, which was straining every nerve for the maintenance of the Union. Meetings were called and the citizens of the entire county promptly convened and exchanged thoughts as to what should be done. Among those most foremost in this was Captain W. W. Fuller, then an attorney at law, George S. Bacon and Joe H. Smith. Captain Fuller had methods by which he reached the heart of the people spontaneously, subtilely and effectively. He never appeared without evoking the most rapturous applause, and never disappointed the expectation of his auditors. His progress in discourse was an ovation, and carried about him an atmosphere that attracted and cemented men to him. No man so low but felt he was a brother and none so high but felt he was his peer. While many other Democrats halted in the formation of an opinion as to what side they would give their allegiance, Captain George S. Bacon, as well as Joe H. Smith yielded absolute and complete allegiance to the Old Flag, and never, during all the time of the entire struggle, thought otherwise, than at the end the cause of the Federals would win. These last named divorced themselves from the party of their early choice, and in common with very many others enlisted at a seasonable moment for the purpose of maintaining the supremacy of the Government. To these last named, it was sometimes quite humiliating to hear those who remained at safety distance during the war, to question the sincerity and patriotism of those of the Democratic party who had forsaken home, friends, lucrative practice, left the plow in the furrow, and the wife and children in the home, and shouldered the musket in defense of the right. None but cowards and political tricksters, men who would sacrifice principle, would be guilty of such contemptible depravity; yet of these there was a sufficiency amounting to a surplus, at this time.

In 1861 Hon. B. F. Roberts, of the strictest sect of Democracy, as well as many others in his neighborhood, came to the reasonable and loyal conclusion that the better plan would be to restore order and good government in the South, and then when this was accomplished return to the home and family and vote the Democratic ticket as of old. This was practiced by him on one occasion while in the army, but he in common with many others soon learned to vote as they were shooting. The infernal yells of skulkers and copperheads at the rear were prolonging the war, and while not participating in the struggle at the front, were rendering valuable assistance at the rear. This, together with many other acts and circumstances, soon drilled out of the Democratic soldier all love for the stay-at-home Rebel sympathizer. Some of the influential Republicans of this age, men in this county who have been elected to represent it in the halls of the State Legislature, never were converted and convinced of the fact that secession was forever wrong and the maintenance of the Federal Union forever right until the close of the war - not until that which they had predicted could never be performed was accomplished, then they soon began to yell as lustily as any who had been to the front and returned all covered with scars, or had sacrificed a limb or health for the perpetuation of the Union. In attending the campfires of those who have experienced the toils of marches, smelt the smoke of battle, heard the terrible roar of an hundred guns making the very earth quake and man as ferocious as the animal at bay, and had charged to the very cannon's mouth - I have witnessed those who remained at home during those dark and bloody days, who could not find sufficient words in the English vocabulary to sufficiently portray the detestation they then held for the " Lincoln hirelings," to strain every nerve to have a place at the head of the table in these feasts of "pork and beans" commemorative of the days of war and bloodshed. Oh, shame, for such unblushing hypocrisy!

During the first half of the winter of 1861-62 the county began to be tremendously aroused, for previous to that time 80 men had actually run off to Council Bluffs and Omaha and enlisted, from the fact that no company organizations had been made at home. Company B, of the glorious old Fourth Iowa, had sixteen Harrison county boys defending the flag. The Second Iowa battery had twelve, the First Nebraska cavalry eight or ten, and twenty-five in the Fifth Iowa cavalry, as well as twenty-seven in other organizations. These writing home fired the hearts of those at home, when in one short week 51 of this county enlisted in Company H, of the Fifteenth Iowa, under the leadership of Captain John A. Danielson and Captain Logan Crawford, of Calhoun.

This feeling of patriotism increased until the 12th of August, 1862, when Captain George S. Bacon, Fuller and Joe H. Smith determined that they would take a hand in the fun, and no sooner was this matter determined than a company of 101 men was raised in one week thereafter.

This was the first time that local bounties were offered to persons enlisting, for the Board of Supervisors at that time pledged themselves to give to each soldier enlisting and being accepted by the examining surgeon, 80 acres of swamp or overflowed lands not already entered, in the county, or in lieu thereof, $100 in swamp land scrip, the same assignable. For further information see the acts of the Board herein set forth.

This bonus was not very highly prized by the parties enlisting, from the fact that many enlisting sold their rights under this resolution for from $25 to $40; and these were gobbled up by the domestic land sharks, and in fact, scarcely benefited the soldier to any considerable extent. This, then, was by the Board extended to all persons who, prior to this time, had enlisted from this county and were accredited thereto. Some have questioned the disinterestedness of the Board in the passage of this resolution from the fact that they charge that it was done so as to have the county furnish her quota and then the draft would not be resorted to, and they be spared paying out their money in the way of procuring substitutes. This opinion is certainly far fetched, and shows that those who urge this, have sought to find cause against those who were acting from the purest and most patriotic motives.

Scarcely had the company last named designated her officers or rather before the persons forming the company had departed for their homes, when, at the hour of midnight, a courier from Sioux City entered the town with the news of an Indian massacre near Sioux City, and that the few settlers left were on a full rush for the settlements on to the south. When this news was heard arms were sent to the company at once from Council Bluffs, and in a day and a half the company were en route for the country north of Sioux City. Company C (as it was afterwards called) was the first company of infantry to arrive at the place last named, and it was truly astonishing to see the terrible fright that the settlers had experienced in and about Sioux City, and also to the north and east. In many places they had, in their fright and haste, abandoned every particle of property, and at many of the farms and farm houses the stock was left in the corral, the unbaked bread in the ovens of the stoves, and in some places the dinner was left on the table untouched. Some fled with their families on horses, some on mules, others having no other means of conveyance, loaded the wife and children in ox carts and ox wagons and thus slowly plodded their way to supposed safety. Quite a number of the residents of Harrison county at once abandoned their homes and either moved to Council Bluffs or to the East. This was wholly unnecessary, from the fact that there had not been any Indians within one hundred and fifty miles of Sioux City at the time of the stampede. While the company last named were leaving Magnolia as all supposed, for glory or the grave, many were the ludicrous parting of husband and wife, mother and son, and last, but not least, "sweet-heart with sweet-heart." This expedition only proved to be a sort of "picnic" and in three weeks they were at home awaiting orders for going into camp for drill.

Oh, the wild excitement of those days! the flaunting flag, the sound of preparation, the music of the boisterous drums, the silver voices of heroic bugles. Here are assemblages of earnest, excited people, dwelling on the words and thoughts of the speaker, and ever and anon voice his sentiments by the heroic shouts. The call is made for volunteers, and men with flushed faces rush forward to be the first to head the lists, but yonder is the pale cheek of the wife keenly feeling the inspiration of the moment, but sadly contemplating the separation and possible widowhood of herself, and orphanage of their little ones.

The final parting hour arrives; some are whispering the vows of eternal love to the maidens they adore and lingeringly part forever; others are bending over the cradle and kissing the sleeping babes; some are receiving the blessings of the old men; some are parting with mothers who hold them to their bosoms as in infancy and press them to their hearts and kiss and kiss them again; are speechless for the agony of the moment, and some are talking with wives, endeavoring by brave words, spoken in the old tone, to drive away the awful fear. They part. The wife is standing in the door with the babe in her arms, bathed in beautiful sunlight and in tears. At the turn of the street or lane the husband waves his hand and the wife answers by holding aloft in her loving arms their child. He is gone, and forever.

Who are those stealthily following yonder by path which skirts the grove? Why do they select the "hour of night's dark arch the key-stone?" What business calls for midnight meeting in the deserted cabin iu the center of that grove, far from human habitation and beyond the reach of etching ears? They are the "Knights of the Golden Circle," meeting in secret conclave to plot against the Grovernment and plan the assassination of innocent and unsuspecting men. I would not attempt to limit the power of the Almighty, and while 1 have the greatest reverence for the Deity, nevertheless I am firm in the conviction that it is beyond his power to raise these midnight murderers and assassins to a status of respectable degradation in hell.

These were as surely and effectually marked as was Cain after the murder of his brother, for upon the receipt of the news of a Federal victory their countenances were as dark and frowning as Erebus, and sought seclusion in the jungles; but if the reports were to the effect that the "Feds" had been whipped out of their boots, then there would be a smile on their countenances broad as the depth of the depravity of their hearts.

DRAFTED MEN OP THE COUNTY

The following is a list of the men drafted from Harrison county at the principal and supplementary draft had at Council Bluffs, on the 2d and 3d days of November, 1864, viz.:

Boyer Township - Wm. H. Burkholder, and Charles J. Miracle. This man last named was a substitute for some one, at this time not known.

Cincinnati Township - John H. Boyd and Hiram Blackburn.

Calhoun Township - James Shaw. This subject never reached the regiment to which he was assigned.

Clay Township - P. M. Caywood, Aaron Davis, Julius Miller and William H. Good. Mr. Good was a substitute for James Callion, the latter giving Good $1,000 to take his place.

Jefferson Township - Jacob Holton, O. P. Reel and W. F. Nelson. The last named person was a substitute for Ad. Adams, who gave Nelson $500 to stop rebel bullets for him.

Jackson Township - Lewis E. Toll and Lorenzo D. Driggs.

La Grange Township - Frank Ervin, Samuel Jack and John LaPray. Mr. LaPray was a substitute for Mr. William Orr, who, being drafted, gave to the said LaPray $1,100 to be shot in his place.

Little Sioux Township - Joshua Lane and Gilbert Garnet. This last named person gave Dan Murphy $700 to act as his substitute.

Raglan Township - Eli. J. Hagerman, Samuel Morgareidge, Henry Shaw and Alex. Johnson.

Taylor Township - Jesse Arbaugh, Thomas F. Stewart, Charles Wilson and B. F. Martin. This man Wilson was a substitute for Mr. James W. Mcintosh, now of Kansas.

St. John Township - Thomas J. Faith, Thomas J. Frazier, William N. Fouts, James Seaton and Oliver Wolcott. Mr. Wolcott procured Mr. Cyrus Cole to take his place as a substitute, they being brothers-in-law.

Union Township - William Reeder was drafted from this township and secured the services of Nelson Rider as a substitute at the cost of $900, and William H. Butler was substitute for some one in this township, principal not known.

There were many curious as well as peculiar actions at and about the time of this draft, and immediately following the same.

One Joshua Lane was drafted from Little Sioux, who, upon learning that he had been chosen to wield a musket or kock a cannon, immediately repaired to the office of a physician, who gave certain doses of emetics and purgatives by which sickness could be produced at will, when as soon as he was notified by the Deputy Provost Marshal, he swallowed these decoctions and suddenly became nigh unto death; this then caused his substitute to be called upon to fill his place, which did not fit the fancy of Dan Shearer, who held this unenviable position. As soon as Shearer learned this, he had business relations in Nebraska and fled immediately to transact the same, and the Deputy Provost, not catching onto the fraud being perpetrated on him and Shearer by Lane, followed Shearer to Nebraska and brought him back to Harrison county, and when about to ship him to W. J. Brownell, to whom all drafted men were assigned, at Des Moines, Shearer then told that Lane was playing " 'possum,'' which brought about the arrest of Lane; however Shearer did not become relieved until he made a trip to Des Moines and Lane was forwarded and accepted.

Mr. B. C. Adams, who was at this time Deputy Provost Marshal, dealt honorably with all these men, but woe to the man who attempted to skulk and hide in the Willows or Nebraska, for they might succeed for a little time, but they were soon ferreted out and brought up standing. Those who had deserted and dropped down in this county supposing that they were so far from their commands that they would never be recognized or apprehended, were always surprised by the presence of this omniscient Deputy Provost, when being tapped on the shoulder and informed that their services were needed at such a place and in such and such regiments. Our people had never experienced much of the war spirit prior to this, but there was in the manner,
anxiety and gait of every deserter, such a tell-tale appearance, that with a reasonable description, recognition was readily made.

At the time of this drafting much uneasiness was felt by many of those who had no desire to be shot, or at least to forego the comforts of a good warm fire and feather bed, and to that end, at the time the drawing was to be done at Council Bluffs, were either at hand or had some one present so that they could have an "early" report, among whom was Mr. Wm. S. Meeeh, an old timer in the county.

Some of the ripest Democrats were fearful that the drawing would not be done with fairness, and that the Republicans would escape, and the quota be filled with the honest Democracy, the portable expounders of the Federal Constitution; and to alleviate this fear Mr. Wm. S. Meech was called into the room where the drafting was done, and blindfolded, and then by his own Democratic hand drew out of the box the fatal names of those who should doff the blue and shoulder the musket. This was a master piece of policy, for when completed, there was no room for the howl of political persecution and violation of the constitutional right of the oppressed Democratic citizen.

Mr. Meech had a son (Harrison Meech) then just arrived at arms-bearing age, whom he was fearful would be selected, and it is said that old Uncle William, while the names were being read after having been handed by him to the party who could read, was so exercised that the traditional sweat in the far off garden in the east was but little superior to that experienced by our friend on this occasion. However this fear was not wholly confined to the Democracy, from the fact that there were Republicans who held the exterior of their persons in as much adoration as the others.

Many of those who were for the Union in the early days of the '60s were so because of the fact that the attack on the Government by the Confederates was an attack on their party, and while the sequence of the decision was correct, yet the reasons by which the opinion was reached were scarcely tenable. This kind of War Republicans were of the "Artemus Ward school," willing to sacrifice all their relations rather than see the Confederate cause win the day, and when called upon to fill the gap made in the ranks in tbe front, either by bullet or disease, would rather find an Isaac than be the Isaac sacrificed.

About the 1st of August, 1864, Dr. J. H. Rice, of Magnolia, was appointed as the Special Examining Surgeon for this county, and in the discharge of his duties called to his assistance Dr. George H. McGavren, and part of the time two other well posted physicians - Dr. Robert McGavren and Dr. Cole, who in the discharge of their duties as such examining board, had occasion to hear the most exaggerated stories of personal deformity and inability that ever came to the ears of men of their profession. These men now all reside in the county except Dr. Cole, who has passed to that place from which no traveler returns.

One person who resided at Cincinnati who wanted to be excused for the reason that he was unable to march, walked all the way from that little town to Magnolia, a distance of 18 miles, before breakfast, to convince the examining board that he was unable to endure the fatigue of the march. Another, who still lives on the same farm on which he then resided, suddenly became so deaf that he could not hear it thunder, and could not hear words uttered in the very loudest tones, but when caught in the act of turning his own and his neighbors' cows into the corn field of the Hon. Phineas Cadwell, at midnight, and when realizing that Mr. Cadwell would prosecute him for his dastardly, cowardly act, he was immediately anxious to make settlement therefor, and could hear the most commonplace whisper - as to terms of settlement. This man may have been all right, but the fact is stated that he got away from his maker before he was finished. Another presented himself and claimed exemption on account of hernia, and was excused. After examination he boldly boasted that he could whip any man in the county. Another man, now a resident of Magnolia, claimed exemption for the same cause, but when he was examined there was not the least appearance of the disability claimed, and the examining board, either to torment him, or give him all the chance possible to show his ills, kept him standing naked all day, in order that the deformity might blossom into something other than the appearance then present, but to the disgust of the applicant, and the infinite amusement of the doctors, nature would not assist the coward in the perpetration of such apparent fraud. There is also another who does not now reside a thousand miles fromWoodbine, who put in the excuse that he was wholly unable to do militaryduty, from the fact that he was unable to work, though for ten years prior to that time and for twenty years since he has labored on his farm each day, from before the rising'of the sun until far into the night.

Never was mankind so sorely aflicted with all the ills that flesh is heir to, as at this special time. Broken limbs came to the surface then which never prior to that time or since have been heard from; chronic cases of alleged long standing were dwelt upon with an eloquence bordering upon despair, but the most general disease at that time was weakness of the lungs, and they who were so afflicted acted as their own physicians, and prescribed for themselves the freshness and purity of the western mountain air. This general disease was not confined to any one class, either political or religious. Many went to the mountains at or about this time, but, the most singular features of this wide spread "lung complaint" was that the women were wholly free from the ravages thereof, and as soon as the declaration of peace was made, there was a wave of such speedy recovery as far surpassed the miracles at the time of the troubling of the waters by the angel of eighteen centuries past.

At this time nearly four hundred men, the bone and sinew of the county, had enlisted, many of whom were then resting in unknown graves in the "sunny south," or maimed and crippled for life, or broken in health; and that which at first had seemed only a sunny day's picnic, had fastened itself upon us as an egregious reality. War, with all its consequent results, was upon us, and the day of the outbursts of patriotism had become a thing of the past, made so by former unprecedented enlistments.

Then again, the opportunity to accumulate fortunes, made so by war prices and the great abundance of money, could scarcely be yielded to the unadulterated demands of pure patriotism, in which the life of the person and the poorness of the pay, were the considerations for ease, comfort and security of life and property. Some stated that they could not enlist from the fact that their families required them at home to provide for their wants, when the real status of the case was that the wives had for a long time in the past as well as from that date to the present, supported them. The causes for not going were as diversified as the human countenance, but when the time came that the requisite quota must be furnished, then the greater proportion of those drawn, without the least hesitation, obeyed the "onward to the front" with as much alacrity and with the same patriotism as in the early days of enlistinents. However, the end came, and with this the universal rejoicings of all. The soldier returning all covered over with glory, and the stay-at-home man happy in the thought that the ordeal was past, the Government was saved, and he was alive.
