On the morning of January 29, 1864, I think, we arrived at Ham- ilton, Ill., just opposite Keokuk. It was early in the morning that we left our stock cars and started for Keokuk by crossing the river on the ice. When we reached the river we could see hundreds of people on the Iowa side ready to receive us with glad hands. Right here, in sight of the homes of many members of the regiment, we experienced our greatest peril of the war. For several days before our arrival the weather had been very warm and had to a great extent weakened the ice on the river. In our great anxiety to once more step on the soil of beloved Iowa we failed to realize the dangerous condition of the ice under our feet. We could see people on the wharf waving their hands, hats and handkerchiefs, but we thought, of course, that they were manifesting their delight at our return home. However, some of the boys took in the situation and gave the alarm. We then understood the signals of our friends. We scattered into a very thin skirmish line for the rest of the way across the river and were saved to our friends and country.
