Twenty-seventh Infantry-The Twenty-seventh Infantry con- tained two full companies, and a part of another, from this county. D. E. Meyer was the captain of Company B, being succeeded by Silas Garber. This company was largely recruited from the vicinity of Guttenberg. Thomas G. Drips was the captain of Company G and he was a constant contributor to the McGregor Times throughout the war. The Twenty-seventh had the most varied experience of any Iowa regiment. It was first sent to Minnesota under Major General Pope to suppress an Indian outbreak. It saw no active service here as the Indians were defeated before its arrival. The regiment was trans- ferred to Cairo, Illinois, and was then taken to Memphis where it was a part of General Sherman's army. It served with this great general as part of the outer guard protecting Grant at Vicksburg. It was en- gaged in many skirmishes and did valuable duty in guarding lines of communication and preventing rebel attacks. During this period its headquarters were at Jackson and at Moscow, Mississippi.
It is related of this regiment that it was saved from destruction by two women. Guerillas had destroyed a railroad bridge across which the regiment was to be transported. The flames had been extinguished and the skeleton of the bridge left standing so that the train might be wrecked. These women saw the danger and, alone and unprotected, walked ten miles along the track and with waving lanterns signalled the engineer and the train was stopped in time.
In August, 1863, the regiment took part in the expedition against Little Rock and then went into quarters at Memphis. In 1864 the regiment was transported to Vicksburg and was with Sherman in the raid on Meridian. It was next with General Banks in the unfortunate Red River expedition and then campaigned both in Mississippi and Missouri. Following this, it encamped in Tennessee where, under General Smith, it was part of the army operating against Hood. It achieved distinction at the battle of Nashville and Colonel Gilbert was promoted brigadier general for his gallantry in this battle. The regi- ment joined in the pursuit of Hood and afterwards went into camp at Eastport. February 9, 1865, it was transported down the river to New Orleans, went into camp at Chalmette and was then shipped to Dauphin Island, Alabama, where it took part in the capture of Mobile. The regiment was mustered out in Clinton, Iowa, in August, 1865, having fought many times and traveled more than 12,000 miles.

First Cavalry-Company K of the First Cavalry was organized by Robert L. Freeman who became its captain. The company was first known as the "McGregor Rangers," and it was the first cavalry troop organized in Iowa. For some reason there was delay in its acceptance into the service but it was finally admitted, as Company K. This regiment served entirely on the west bank of the Mississippi, its colonel was Fitz Henry Warren. In October, 1861, it went into camp at Benton barracks, Missouri, 1200 strong. The first and second battalions operated that winter in Missouri engaged in warfare with guerilla bands. The third battalion remained at Benton. In March, 1862, the entire regiment concentrated at Sedalia, Missouri, and was employed in outpost duty. In December it made a successful dash upon Confederate stores located at Van Buren, Arkansas, and seized supplies valued at $300,000.
In April, 1863, it participated in the successful campaign against Pilot Knob and in the same year it was with General Steele in the expedition again Little Rock. It was reorganized as a veteran regiment in April, 1864, and was employed in scouting service and was with General Rosecrans in the campaign which resulted in freeing Missouri from the rebels. It served in the vicinity of Little Rock until the close of the war and was then employed for several months on guard duty in Louisiana and in Texas. This regiment was longest in the service of any Iowa cavalry regiment.

Sixth Cavalry-The Sixth Cavalry was organized during the dark days of 1862. Company L, under Captain Aaron Ames, was largely recruited from this county. Believing that the United States was fully occupied, Indian tribes in the west became hostile and it was found necessary to send troops to quell them. It was this duty which fell largely upon the Sixth Cavalry. Organizing at Davenport, the regiment was sent to Sioux City and from thence pushed out onto the plains. At White Stone Hills a decisive battle was fought in which a large number of Indians were killed or wounded. The regiment built Fort Sully, 300 miles northwest of Sioux City and remained there, until the summer of 1864, when there was another Indian upris- ing. The regiment was sent against these Indians in a campaignt along

Price was a major in this regiment and died at the front. The regi- ment was mustered out in June 1865.
