SIXTEENTHI IOWA VOLUNTEER INFANTRY
Mustered into service of the United States by captains Alexander Chambers and S. A. Wainwright on dates ranging from December 10, 1861, to March 12, 1862, at Davenport, Iowa ; mustered out at Louisville, Ky., July 19, 1865.
Seven companies of this regiment were mustered into the' service at Camp McClellan, Davenport, between December 10, 1861, and March 12, 1862. Com- pany F was mustered in at Keokuk in February and I and K at Benton Bar- racks, near St. Louis, March 20, 1861. From December 10, 1861, to March 20, 1862, was the only time the men had to prepare themselves with any knowl- edge of the art of war. On March 20 the regiment started from Daven- port by steamboat to St. Louis, and from there marched to Benton Barracks. On April 1, 1861, Colonel Chambers, its commander, received orders to at once proceed to Pittsburg Landing, Tenn. The regiment boarded a steamer at St. Louis on that date and arrived at Pittsburg Landing early in the morning of April 6, 1862. While being disembarked the men heard the roar of the battle then in progress. This was the first time they had had the opportunity to load a gun. They were at once ordered to the front, which they reached about 10:30 o'clock A. M. It is unnecessary to go into detail concerning the part which the regiment took in this battle. The loss in this battle was two officers, seven non- commissioned officers and privates killed; nine officers and ninety-four non- commissioned officers and privates wounded and fifteen non-commissioned offi- cers and privates missing. When one reads of this battle in the light of subse- quent events it shows two things: first, the valor of intelligent undisciplined men ; second, the ignorance of the art of war by those who commanded them. The experience gained in this battle was invaluable and prepared the way for victories in the future. After the battle of Shiloh the regiment, with others, marched on Corinth. The enemy had fortified Corinth, for it was the door from which the Union forces could cut off communication of the enemy by rail with Memphis on the west and from the southwest and southeast.
On the 27th of April, 1862, the Eleventh, Thirteenth, Fifteenth and Sixteenth Iowa Infantry Volunteers were organized into what was subsequently known as "Crocker's Brigade," commanded by Col. M. M. Crocker of the Thirteenth Iowa. The Sixteenth took an active part in the siege of Corinth, which the enemy evacuated on the night of the 30th of May, 1862. From the time of evacuation of Corinth until September, 1862, the regiment was at Bolivar, Tenn., part of the time looking out for the enemy in that part of the country. The brigade was in the battle of Iuka, which took place on the 19th of Sep- tember, 1862. Colonel Chambers was seriously wounded in this battle and taken
229
HISTORY OF DES MOINES COUNTY
prisoner, but was left by the enemy in the hospital at luka. In this battle the regiment lost 14 killed and 48 wounded and 14 missing. From Iuka the reg- iment marched to Grand Junction and on the 5th of November joined the army in its southern march against Vicksburg : was with Grant on that inland march for the purpose of reaching Vicksburg, which he was forced to abandon because of the loss of his train of provisions at Holly Springs, Miss .; was with the army on its withdrawal from Mississippi to Memphis, where it went on transports for Vicksburg and landed at Milliken's Bend. Here the brigade to which it belonged was assigned to the Seventeenth Army Corps, comamnded by Gen. James B. McPherson. The regiment took part in digging that canal of which so much has been written. During the siege of Vicksburg the brigade to which it belonged was confronting Johnston in the rear of Vicksburg: was on the Meriden cam- paign, and after a march across the State of Mississippi came to Vicksburg, March 4, 1864, and on the 17th of the same month started home on veteran fur- lough ; started back, leaving Davenport on May 3, 1864, and arrived at Clifton, Tenn., about the middle of the month. From this place it marched to Huntsville, Ala., and from there to Decatur, thence across the mountains to Rome, Ga., where it arrived on June 5; thence to Ackworth, where it joined the army under Sherman. Part of the regiment was engaged in the attack on Ken- esaw Mountain, June 27, 1864; was with Sherman's army from this time on ; took part in the battles before Atlanta on the 21st and 22d of July, 1864. In the battle of the 21st it lost sixty-five men killed and wounded : was left in an exposed position in the battle which took place on the 22d. It was surrounded when so exposed and 225 of its men, including officers, were captured. They were taken to Macon. Ga., and from there to Andersonville, near by.
