"At 3:30 P. M., the right of the First Division carried the left of the enemy's works; we then moved forward at a double quick over an open field, under a severe fire from artillery and musketry, and in a few minutes gained the intrenchments, capturing about fifty prisoners and five pieces of artillery. Some of the artillerists were killed as they were leaving the guns. Private William May, of Company H, dashed forward and captured the battery guidon. The regiment moved forward in pursuit, gathering a few prisoners, until we reached the base of the mountain, when we received orders to halt. At dark, the battle being over, we were ordered into camp near the mountain. Too much cannot be said in praise of the conduct of the officers and men under the heavy fire during the charge; every one moved forward with a determination to carry the works. Where all behaved so creditably it is a delicate matter to make particular mention of persons, but I presume no exception will be taken when I speak of Lieut. W. L. Carpenter, acting regimental adjutant, who was, as usual, conspicuous for his brave and gallant conduct in the action, and was among the first over the rebel works. Also Capt. Theodore DeTar, who, after pursuing the enemy to the moun- tain, was wounded in the right ankle, making an amputation necessary. This will cause the loss to the regiment of one who has always been esteemed for his excellent qualities as an officer and a gentleman. First Serg. Daniel W. Albaugh, Company C, who was killed almost instantly by a minie ball, was one of our best non-commissioned officers, and was much loved by his company as an officer

and comrade. They mourn his loss deeply. My thanks are due to Maj. Jonathan Hutchison for his assistance during the action. I cannot refrain from mention- ing Color Serg. A. J. Ellis, of Company G, who carried the standard. Although once thrown to the ground by a glancing shot, he refused to give the standard to anyone else, but made his way forward, and was one of the first over the works. Corporal Bell, of Company G, who bore the regimental colors, was noticed for his bravery in action. I send you a list of casualties in the regiment, which is light only because the artillery was aimed too high, and the infantry were intimidated by our rapid firing as we advanced."
The loss of the Thirty-second Iowa in the battle of Nashville, December 16, 1864, was three killed and fifteen wounded. It had nobly sustained its well-won reputation upon other fields as one of the best fighting regiments in the army. From the 17th to the 30th of December, it was engaged, with other troops, in the pursuit of the defeated and demoralized rebel army. The pursuit was abandoned at Lawrenceburg, Tennessee, on January 1, 1865, the regiment marched to Clifton, on the Tennessee river, and embarking there on steamer, proceeded to Eastport, Mississippi, where it landed on January 5th and went into camp for a well- earned period of rest.
On February 9, 1865, the regiment again embarked on steamer, was conveyed to Cairo, Illinois, and thence to New Orleans, where it disembarked on the 21st and went into camp near the city. On March 7, 1865, the regiment was taken on board an ocean steamship and conveyed to Dauphin Island, where it remained but a short time, going thence to Donnelly's Landing, Louisiana, from which it again took up the line of march and arrived at Sibley's Mills, near Mobile, Alabama, on March 26th. On April 3d the regiment again advanced with its brigade and joined the forces under General Steele, then engaged in the siege of Fort Blakely. The Thirty-second Iowa performed its full share of duty in the trenches during the siege, but was so well protected from the fire of the enemy that it had but one man wounded. The fort surrendered on the 9th of April, 1865, and that date marked the last conflict of the regiment. The great War of the Rebellion was practically ended.
On April 13, 1865, the Thirty-second Iowa started on its last long march, and on the 27th reached Montgomery, Alabama, where it went into camp, remaining there and at another camp four miles from the city, until July 15, 1865. on which date it embarked on steamer and was conveyed down the Alabama river to Selma. From Selma it was conveyed by rail to Jackson, Mississippi, and from that place marched to Vicksburg, where it embarked on steamer and proceeded to Clinton, Iowa, where, on the 24th day of August, 1865, it was mustered out of the service of the United States. The personal record of every officer and enlisted man of the regiment has been transcribed from the official records in the office of the adjutant general of the state of Iowa, and will be found in the subjoined roster. It will be noted that but few of the officers and enlisted men have received special mention in the official reports, from which quotations have been made in this historical sketch of the regiment. It will also be noted in the subjoined roster that aside from those who were killed, wounded, or missing in battle, or those who died from wounds or disease, or who were discharged or transferred, there were a large number of enlisted men and officers whose brief records show only con- tinuous service. The compiler wishes to call especial attention to the fact that

such records show conclusively that the history of those men is identical with that of their regiment. They may have been, and in most instances no doubt were, engaged with their less fortunate comrades, in the various movements and battles in which the regiment participated, and the records of their service is therefore a most honorable one.
The survivors of the Thirty-second Regiment of Iowa Volunteer Infantry may well feel proud of the history, which they and their comrades who have answered the last roll call, were the makers. Posterity will lovingly cherish the memory of the brave men who gave such faithful service to their country in her time of greatest peril. The members of this splendid regiment, who were living at the time of its disbandment, have made their impress upon the history of the state of Iowa and of the other states of which many of them have become citizens since the close of the war. In all the honorabl avocations of life, as private citizens, and in the public service of both state and nation, they have distinguished themselves by the same devotion to duty which characterized their career as soldiers.
CHAPTER X
WEBSTER COUNTY IN THE SPANISH-AMERICAN WAR
WAR DECLARED-THE GOVERNOR CALLS FOR VOLUNTEERS-CAMP M'KINLEY- CHICKAMAUGA PARK-PROSPECT OF ACTUAL SERVICE-RETURN TO DES MOINES-MUSTERED OUT-ROSTER OF COMPANY G-WEBSTER COUNTY SOLDIERS IN OTHER ORGANIZATIONS
The proclamation of William McKinley, president of the United States, bearing date April 23, 1898, recited the causes which led up to the declara- tion of war against Spain, and called for one hundred and twenty-five thousand volunteers, for the purpose of prosecuting the war. On April 25, 1898, the governor of Iowa was advised by telegram from the secretary of war of the number of troops which would be assigned as the quota of the state. Telegrams were at once sent to the commanding officers of the four infantry regiments of the Iowa National Guard, instructing them to report with their regiments- with the least possible delay-at the designated rendezvous, Camp Mckinley, located on the state fair grounds, near Des Moines, Iowa. The order was promptly obeyed, and the work of reorganization and preparation for muster into the service of the United States at once began, under the direction of Capt. J. A. Olmstead of the Ninth Regiment, United States Cavalry, then on duty with the Iowa National Guard, and who had been detailed by the war depart- ment as mustering officer for the state of Iowa. In designating the number of the four regiments, it was decided by the governor to continue the series as shown by the Iowa regiments, which had been engaged in the Civil war. The First Regiment of the Iowa National Guard became, therefore, the Forty-ninth Regiment Iowa Volunteer Infantry, and the Second, Third and Fourth were changed respectively to the Fiftieth, Fifty-first and Fifty-second Regiments of Iowa Volunteer Infantry.
Subsequently, the state was called upon to furnish two batteries of light artillery, one company for the United States Signal Corps, and one company of Colored Immunes.
The Fifty-second Regiment was organized from the Fourth Regiment Iowa National Guard. The twelve companies of which it was composed were ordered into quarters by Governor Shaw on the 25th day of April, 1898. The desig- nated rendezvous was Camp Mckinley, near Des Moines, Iowa. The prompt- ness with which the order was obeyed was evidenced by the fact that at 10 P. M., April 26th, the last of the twelve companies had reported at the rendez- vous. The regiment was engaged in the ordinary . routine camp duty until Vol. 1-10

HISTORY OF WEBSTER COUNTY
the 25th day of May, 1898, on which date it was mustered into service of the United States by Captain J. A. Olmstead of the regular army. On May 28, 1898, Colonel Humphrey received an order, by telegraph, from the war department, directing him to proceed with his regiment by rail, to Chickamauga Park, Georgia, and report to the general in command of the troops which were being concentrated there. The regiment left its rendezvous in Des Moines on the afternoon of the same day the order was received, and was conveyed by rail-in three sections-to Chattanooga, Tennessee, where it arrived on the evening of May 30th, and moved thence on the next day to Camp Thomas, Chickamauga Park, where it was assigned to the Third Brigade, Second Divi- sion, Third Army Corps, Major General James F. Wade commanding. In this camp the patriotic young men of the North and South were commingled, all imbued with the one thought and desire-to serve their reunited country in active warfare against the Spanish monarchy. It was a war of humanity, entered into on the part of the United States for the purpose of securing jus- tice to an oppressed race, and not for the purpose of conquest.
It was the earnest desire of all the troops in camp at Chickamauga, that their stay there should be brief, and that they would soon be called upon to embark and proceed to the island of Cuba; but, in this, they were doomed to disappoint- ment. The resources of Spain were so entirely inadequate that active hostilities soon came to an end, and the war was of short duration. But two of the splen- didly equipped regiments from Iowa were given an opportunity for foreign service -- the fortune of war having denied to the others the opportunity which they so much craved.
During the month of June, 1898, the Fifty-second Iowa was recruited to the maximum strength of a regiment of infantry, fifty officers and twelve hundred and seventy-six enlisted men-an aggregate of thirteen hundred and twenty- six, rank and file. On August 8, 1898, the regiment was selected as part of a provisional division, under the command of Major General James F. Wade, with orders to proceed to the island of Porto Rico; but, just as the troops were about to move, the order was revoked, and the regiment was obliged to settle back into the dull monotony of camp life. Up to this time the regiment had been in fairly healthy condition, but in less than two weeks after the order to proceed to Porto Rico had been countermanded, it had as many men unfitted for duty as any regiment in its brigade or division. This decline in the health of the men was largely attributed to their disappointment in not having been given the opportunity for active service, even had that service only allowed them a change in environment. These high-spirited young men, many of them the sons of veterans of the great Civil war, had entered the service with high hopes that they would have the chance to distinguish themselves in battle. Instead of realizing that hope they had been kept in camp in their own country during their entire time of service. They had, however, performed their whole duty in the limited field to which they were assigned. The official report of Colonel Humphrey closed with the following statement : "Had the opportunity presented, the regiment would have acquitted itself with honor and credit to the state."
The regiment left Chickamauga, August 29, 1898, under orders to pro- ceed to Des Moines, Iowa, by rail, and upon its arrival there to report to the

commanding general of the department of the Missouri, at Omaha, for further orders. After reaching Des Moines, the regiment was granted a thirty-day furlough, at the expiration of which the officers and men reassembled at Camp McKinley, and were there mustered out of the service of the United States on the 30th day of October, 1898.
