SIXTEENTH INFANTRY.
The Sixteenth Regiment, Iowa Volunteers, left Davenport March 20, 1862, and was at the battles of Shiloh, April 6 and 7, when it met with heavy loss; took part in the siege of Corinth, also was in the battle of Iuka, September 19, 1862.
After this the regiment was engaged in two days' fight at Corinth Oct. 3 and 4, and was variously employed in marching from point to point, as their serv- ices were required in their department, and at all times were found ready to do their duty.
They were engaged in many sharp conflicts until March 17, 1864, when they started for Davenport, Iowa, on veteran furlough.
On May 3rd they again resumed their knapsacks and arrived at Clifton, Tenn., about the middle of the month, and on the 7th of June, a part of the regiment were engaged in the attack on Kenesaw Mountain, meeting with heavy loss. The regiment was under fire from June 14 to July 2; was in the battles at Atlanta, July 20, 21, and 22, meeting with heavy losses, which re- duced the regiment to less than a hundred men present for duty.
Afterward, the regiment being increased to 450 men, by exchange of pris- oners and drafted men, they started from Atlanta, Nov. 15, for Savannah, where they were engaged in the siege of the city until its evacuation.
On Jan. 6, 1865, they started for Beaufort, S. C., and were actively en- gaged in the campaign of the Carolinas and finally camped at Raleigh on the 16th of April, where they remained until March 2. The war being closed, they marched for Washington, where they took part in the grand review May 24, 1865.

TIPTON CONTINGENT IN FIFTIETH IOWA REGIMENT
GRAND ARMY POST, MAY 30, 1910
375
HISTORY OF CEDAR COUNTY
The regiment was raised during the first two weeks of August, 1862, and was in rendezvous at Camp Strong, Muscatine, Iowa, before the end of the month, the two Cedar County companies reaching there August 27.
On Sept. 14 the regiment was uniformed and on the 18th was formally mus- tered into the United States service by Capt. H. B. Hendershott.
On Oct. 20, it left Camp Strong for active service, embarking on the steamer "Hawkeye State" and landing at Helena, Ark ..
During the winter of 1862-63, the regiment participated in Gen. Grant's Coldwater Expedition and also in a movement by boat up White River as far as Duvall's Bluff. There were no casualties connected with either of these move- ments except the accidental drowning of one man, but the winter at Helena brought a great deal of sickness and many deaths.
On the IIth of April the regiment left Helena to take part in Grant's Vicks- burg campaign, receiving its first baptism of fire at the battle of Port Gibson May I.
At the battle of Champion Hill or Edward's Station, fought May 16, the regiment, after a gallant charge which penetrated the enemy's line and captured a six-gun battery in its rear, met an unusual and terrible loss through the total incapacity of Col. E. C. Byam, its then commanding officer. Col. Byam resigned soon after this battle, and was succeeded in command by Lieut. Col. J. Q. Wilds, a worthy and efficient officer. It afterward moved to Vicksburg and shared in the siege, accompanying Gen. Sherman in his rapid march on Jackson, directly on the surrender of the former place.
August I the regiment proceeded by river to New Orleans, finding its first active duty there with Gen. Banks' Teche expedition, which marched up that sluggish Louisiana stream and then marched down again, leaving the Twenty- fourth to go into winter quarters at Madisonville.
March 13, 1864, found the Twenty-fourth Iowa making its first day's march on the celebrated Red River campaign. In the severe battle at Sabine Cross- roads, April 8, considerable loss was sustained both in killed, wounded, and pris- oners, while the day and night retreat which followed was equally trying to souls, soles and stomachs.
Returned to New Orleans June 13 and soon started by ocean steamer for Washington, D. C., joining at once the forces then protecting the Capitol from Early's savage raid. The regiment became a part of the force which made the stirring Shenandoah Valley campaign under the gallant Sheridan, participating in numerous skirmishes in addition to the hard fought field at Winchester, Sept. 19, and Cedar Creek just a month later. In the former engagement, Lieut. Col. Wilds, commanding regiment, was mortally wounded, devolving the command during the remaining service upon Maj. Ed. Wright, who was subsequently made a Brevet Brigadier General for meritorious services.
Jan. 14, 1865, the regiment left Baltimore for Savannah, Ga.,. where the divi- sion to which it belonged went to hold open the communications behind Sher- man's advance. Transferred from there to Moorhead City and Goldsboro, N. C., for the same purpose.
It was at the former place when the news of Lee's surrender awakened new

dreams of home. Returning to Savannah and thence to Augusta, Ga., moving back again to Savannah, June 25, to be mustered out of service.
Reached Davenport, Iowa, via Baltimore, in the latter part of July, and after being paid off were disbanded like the rest.
COMPANY B.
With the exception of seven from Muscatine and two from Linn the entire IOI men mustered into the service of the United States army with this company were credited to Cedar County. The majority of its members came from the northern part where S. W. Rathbun of Pioneer Township, W. T. and M. F. Rigby of Red Oak were actively engaged in recruiting for it. A smaller number were enlisted in the southern part of the county through the efforts of B. F. Fobes. Enlistments began as early as July 18, and all its membership except fourteen were enlisted by Aug. 10. Early in the same month the company as- sembled at Tipton and organized by electing its commissioned officers. While there it was quartered at the Fleming House and on Aug. 27 it left for camp of rendezvous at Muscatine together with Company C. Company B was mustered by Lieut. W. T. Rigby, U. S. mustering officer, on Aug. 29. One man, Perry Willetts, was rejected by Lieut. Rigby ; Capt. Hendershott made no rejections.

COMPANY C.
Except Geo. H. Kiser, of Big Grove, Scott County, all the men of Company C are credited to Cedar County. Enlistments began during the first week in August ; at Inland under E. H. Pound and J. C. Gue ; at Tipton under S. D. Johnson and G. G. Chandler ; and at Coon Creek under John Dance. The Tipton contingent included the boys from the adjoining country for four or five miles, especially to the westward. The Inland group came from both north and south of that point ; and Cedar Bluffs vicinity joined with Coon Creek, as did also some recruits from as far east as Mechanicsville and as far south as Springdale. By Aug. 8, 59 men had been sworn in and most of them were assembled in Tipton; on Monday, August 11, 83 were present at the election of officers (both commis- sioned and non-commissioned) which took place at the court house. The com- pany was now in quarters at the Aldrich House and by the aid of some old book of tactics and usually under the command of Chandler, made desultory efforts
