I call to mind an individual, who, though holding an office, and anticipating a better one in the near future, when the news came that Sumter was fired upon, said " Good; now we of the North have an opportunity to whale them rascally Southerners into line, and we'll do it." Of all who made such boasts at the beginning of the war, not one of them ever did more than encourage others to enlist, so that they would be exempt from draft by reason of the locality filling its quota.
Sixteen months had passed and gone before any individual

company was organized in the county, notwithstanding more than one hundred and fifty men had enlisted from the county prior to that time.
The men of the county were ripe for enlistment and were anxious for the opportunity, but unfortunately for the cause, some of those who had the ear of the Governor of the State at this time were anxious that some favored one who had made him- self or themselves notorious by reason of the quantum of politi- cal mud they had carried for the party, were sought to be thrust upon the persons enlisting as officers, men in whom the real pat- riot had no confidence as to integrity, bravery or patriotism.
From the 1st of May, 1861, until May, 1864, on each Sat- urday, in more than a dozen of places in the county, men were on drill preparatory to entering the field either as cavalry, infantry or in battery. The outbursts of patriotism far excelled the hopes of the most sanguine. For country first, then party, was the unalloyed expression of nine-tenths of the entire arms bear- ing citizens. A few at the outset correctly measured the volume, intensity, duration and proportions of the mighty struggle being inaugurated; and to these a divided country presented a panorama of lost National greatness, and these without respect of party or party love, at once gave full and unqualified allegiance to the Nation's cause. In 1861 very many deserted the Democratic party because of the want of loyalty of this party, and joined their fortunes with those of the party in power, which was straining every nerve for the maintenance of the Union. Meet- ings were called and the citizens of the entire county promptly convened and exchanged thoughts as to what should be done. Among those most foremost in this was Captain W. W. Fuller, then an attorney at law, George S. Bacon and Joe H. Smith. Captain Fuller had methods by which he reached the heart of the people spontaneously, subtilely and effectively. He never appeared without evoking the most rapturous applause, and never disappointed the expectation of his auditors. His progress

in discourse was an ovation, and carried about him an atmosphere that attracted and cemented men to him. No man so low but felt he was a brother and none so high but felt he was his peer. While many other Democrats halted in the formation of an opinion as to what side they would give their allegiance, Cap- tain George S. Bacon, as well as Joe H. Smith yielded absolute and complete allegiance to the Old Flag, and never, during all the time of the entire struggle, thought otherwise, than at the end the cause of the Federals would win. These last named divorced themselves from the party of their early choice, and in common with very many others enlisted at a seasonable moment for the purpose of maintaining the supremacy of the Govern- ment. To these last named, it was sometimes quite humiliating to hear those who remained at safety distance during the war, to question the sincerity and patriotism of those of the Democratic party who had forsaken home, friends, lucrative practice, left the plow in the furrow, and the wife and children in the home, and shouldered the musket in defense of the right. None but cowards and political tricksters, men who would sacrifice prin- ciple, would be guilty of such contemptible depravity; yet of these there was a sufficiency amounting to a surplus, at this time.
In 1861 Hon. B. F. Roberts, of the strictest sect of Democracy, as well as many others in his neighborhood, came to the reason- able and loyal conclusion that the better plan would be to restore order and good government in the South, and then when this was accomplished return to the home and family and vote the Democratic ticket as of old. This was practiced by him on one occasion while in the army, but he in common with many others soon learned to vote as they were shooting. The infernal yells of skulkers and copperheads at the rear were prolonging the war, and while not participating in the struggle at the front, were rendering valuable assistance at the rear. This, together with many other acts and circumstances, soon drilled out of the

Democratic soldier all love for the stay-at-home Rebel sympa- thizer. Some of the influential Republicans of this age, men in this county who have been elected to represent it in the halls of the State Legislature, never were converted and convinced of the fact that secession was forever wrong and the maintenance of the Federal Union forever right until the close of the war- not until that which they had predicted could never be per- formed was accomplished, then they soon began to yell as lustily as any who had been to the front and returned all covered with scars, or had sacrificed a limb or health for the perpetuation of the Union. In attending the campfires of those who have experienced the toils of marches, smelt the smoke of battle, heard the terrible roar of an hundred guns making the very earth quake and man as ferocious as the animal at bay, and had charged to the very cannon's mouth-I have witnessed those who remained at home during those dark and bloody days, who could not find sufficient words in the English vocabulary to suf- ficiently portray the detestation they then held for the " Lincoln hirelings," to strain every nerve to have a place at the head of the table in these feasts of " pork and beans " commemorative of the days of war and bloodshed. Oh, shame, for such unblushing hypocrisy !
During the first half of the winter of 1861-62 the county began to be tremendously aroused, for previous to that time 80 men had actually run off to Council Bluffs and Omaha and enlisted, from the fact that no company organizations had been made at home. Company B, of the glorious old Fourth Iowa, had sixteen Harrison county boys defending the flag. The Second Iowa battery had twelve, the First Nebraska cavalry eight or ten, and twenty-five in the Fifth Iowa cavalry, as well as twenty-seven in other organizations. These writing home fired the hearts of those at home, when in one short week 51 of this county enlisted in Company H, of the Fifteenth Iowa,
335

under the leadership of Captain John A. Danielson and Captain Logan Crawford, of Calhoun.
This feeling of patriotism increased until the 12th of August, 1862, when Captain George S. Bacon, Fuller and Joe H. Smith determined that they would take a hand in the fun, and no sooner was this matter determined than a company of 101 men was raised in one week thereafter.
This was the first time that local bounties were offered to per- sons enlisting, for the Board of Supervisors at that time pledged themselves to give to each soldier enlisting and being accepted by the examining surgeon, 80 acres of swamp or overflowed lands not already entered, in the county, or in lieu thereof, $100 in swamp land scrip, the same assignable. For further infor- mation see the acts of the Board herein set forth.
This bonus was not very highly prized by the parties enlisting, from the fact that many enlisting sold their rights under this resolution for from $25 to $40; and these were gobbled up by the domestic land sharks, and in fact, scarcely benefited the sol- dier to any considerable extent. This, then, was by the Board extended to all persons who, prior to this time, had enlisted from this county and were accredited thereto. Some have questioned the disinterestedness of the Board in the passage of this resolution , from the fact that they charge that it was done so as to have the county furnish her quota and then the draft would not be resorted to, and they be spared paying out their money in the way of procuring substitutes. This opinion is certainly far fetched, and shows that those who urge this, have sought to find cause against those who were acting from the purest and most patriotic motives.
Scarcely had the company last named designated her officers or rather before the persons forming the company had departed for their homes, when, at the hour of midnight, a courier from Sioux City entered the town with the news of an Indian massa_ cre near Sioux City, and that the few settlers left were on a full
336
HSITORY OF HARRISON COUNTY.
rush for the settlements on to the south. When this news was heard arms were sent to the company at once from Council Bluffs, and in a day and a half the company were en route for the country north of Sioux City. Company C (as it was after- wards called) was the first company of infantry to arrive at the place last named, and it was truly astonishing to see the terrible fright that the settlers had experienced in and about Sioux City, and also to the north and east. In many places they had, in their fright and haste, abandoned every particle of property, and at many of the farms and farm houses the stock was left in the corral, the unbaked bread in the ovens of the stoves, and in some places the dinner was left on the table untouched. Some fled with their families on horses, some on mules, others having no other means of conveyance, loaded the wife and children in ox carts and ox wagons and thus slowly plodded their way to sup- posed safety. Quite a number of the residents of Harrison county at once abandoned their homes and either moved to Council Bluffs or to the East. This was wholly unnecessary, from the fact that there had not been any Indians within one hundred and fifty miles of Sioux City at the time of the stampede. While the company last named were leaving Magnolia as all supposed, for glory or the grave, many were the ludicrous part- ing of husband and wife, mother and son, and last, but not least, "sweet-heart with sweet-heart." This expedition only proved to be a sort of "picnic " and in three weeks they were at home awaiting orders for going into camp for drill.
Oh, the wild excitement of those days! the flaunting flag, the sound of preparation, the music of the boisterous drums, the silver voices of heroic bugles. Here are assemblages of earnest, excited people, dwelling on the words and thoughts of the speaker, and ever and anon voice his sentiments by the heroic shouts. The call is made for volunteers, and men with flushed faces rush forward to be the first to head the lists, but yonder is the pale cheek of the wife keenly feeling the inspiration of

the moment, but sadly contemplating the separation and pos- sible widowbood of herself, and orphanage of their little ones.
The final parting hour arrives; some are whispering the vows of eternal love to the maidens they adore and lingeringly part for- ever; others are bending over the cradle and kissing the sleeping babes; some are receiving the blessings of the old men; some are parting with mothers who hold them to their bosoms as in infancy and press them to their hearts and kiss and kiss them again; are speechless for the agony of the moment, and some are talking with wives, endeavoring by brave words, spoken in the old tone, to drive away the awful fear. They part. The wife is standing in the door with the babe in her arms, bathed in beautiful sun- light and in tears. At the turn of the street or lane the husband waves his hand and the wife answers by holding aloft in her loving arms their child. He is gone, and forever.
Who are those stealthily following yonder by path which skirts the grove? Why do they select the " hour of night's dark arch the key-stone?" What business calls for midnight meeting in the deserted cabin in the center of that grove, far from human hab- itation and beyond the reach of etching ears? They are the "Knights of the Golden Circle," meeting in secret conclave to plot against the Government and plan the assassination of inno- cent and unsuspecting men. I would not attempt to limit the power of the Almighty, and while I have the greatest reverence for the Deity, nevertheless I am firm in the conviction that it is beyond his power to raise these midnight murderers and assassins to a status of respectable degradation in hell.
These were as surely and effectually marked as was Cain after the murder of his brother, for upon the receipt of the news of a Federal victory their countenances were as dark and frowning as Erebus, and sought seclusion in the jungles; but if the reports were to the effect that the " Feds." had been whipped out of their boots, then there would be a smile on their countenances broad as the depth of the depravity of their hearts. 22
