The Eighth Iowa Infantry was mustered into the service Sept 23, 1861. It was soon sent to the front, and took part in severa engagements during its first year of service. From the report of Col. Geddes of the part of the regiment in the battle of Shiloh the following is taken :
" About eight o'clock on the morning of the 6th, I ordered the regiment nnder arms, and formed line of battle in front. At this time the firing on onr advance line had become general, and it ap- peared to me evident that we were being attacked in toree by the rebel general. After remaining under arms for about half an hour. during which time I had ordered the baggage belonging to the regiment to be loaded on the wagons, and an extra supply of ammunition be issued to the men, I was ordered by Col. Sweeney 52d Illinois Brigade Commander, to proceed to the front.
"On arriving at our advance line, I was ordered by Col. Sweeney to take my position on the left of the brigade to which I was attached. for the purpose of protecting a battery immediately in front. Here the regiment remained abont one hour, exposed to a severe fire from artillery of shell and grape, killing and wounding several of my men. About 11 o'clock A. M .. I was ordered by Col. Sweeney.

through his aid, Lieut. Mccullough, of the 8th Iowa, to leave my position and take ground on my left and front. This change of position brought my regiment on the extreme right of Gen. Pren- tiss's division, and left of Gen. Smith's, the latter being the division to which my regiment belonged. I was thus entirely detached from my brigade; nor did I receive any order from my brigade or division commander during the remainder of that day. On arriv- ing at the point I was ordered to defend, I found my regiment in line of battle with my center resting on a road leading from Corinth to Pittsburg Landing, and at right angles with my line. Here I immediately engaged a battalion of the enemy, and after a severe conflict of nearly an hour's duration, in which I lost many of my men, the enemy was driven back with heavy loss. At this time Capt. Hogin, Company F, was shot dead, and Capt. Palmer, Com- pany H, severely wounded. In this desperate struggle my regi- ment lost 100 men in killed and wounded.
"The conspicuous gallantry and coolness of my company com- manders, Capts. Cleveland, Stubbs and Benson on the left. Capts. MeCormie and Bell in the center, Capts. Kelsey, Geddes and Lieut. Muhs on the right, by reserving the fire of their re- spective companies until the proper time for its delivery with effect, and the determined courage of my men, saved the bat- tery from capture, and I had the satisfaction of sending the guns in safety to the rear. In this attack I was wounded in the lez, and Maj. Andrews severely in the head; and I do here take pleasure in acknowledging the courage and coolness displayed by my field officers, Lieut .- Col. J. C. Ferguson and Maj. J. Andrews, and the able assistance rendered by them on that occasion.
" About 3 o'clock P. M. all communication with the river ceased, and it became evident to me that the enemy were turning the right and left flanks of our army, and were rapidly closing behind us. I could at this time have retreated, and most likely would have saved my command from being captured had I, at this time, been ordered back, but I received no such order and I considered it my duty to hold the position I was assigned to defend at all hazards.
"Gen. Prentiss's division having been thrown back from the origi- nal line, I changed front by my left flank, conforming to his move- ment, and at right angles with my former base, which was imme- diately occupied and retained for some time by the 14th Iowa, Col. Shaw. In this position I ordered my regiment to charge a battal- ion of the enemy, I think the 4th Mississippi, which was done
443

good order, completely routing them. We were now attacked on three sides by the rebel force, which was closing fast around us. The shells from our gun-boats in their transit severing the limbs of trees hurled them on our ranks. To prevent annihilation it became absolutely necessary to leave a position which my regi- ment had held for nearly 10 consecutive hours of severe fighting. successfully resisting and driving back the enemy in every attempt to take the position I was ordered to hold and defend, with a loss of men near 200 hundred in killed and wounded, so ordered my regiment to retire. On retiring about 300 yards, I found a divis- ion of the rebels, under Gen. Polk, thrown completely across my line of retreat. I perceived that further resistance was useless, as we were now completely surrounded. Myself and the major portion of my command were captured at 6 o'clock P. M., and I claim the honor for my regiment of being the last to leave the ad- vance line of our army on the battle-field of Shiloh. on Sunday, April 6, 1862."
The Eighth took part in the campaign in Mississippi in 1863, the following account of which was given by Colonel Geddes:
" On the 2d of May, 1863, my regiment was ordered to leave Duck- port, La., with the division to which it was attached, namely, the 3d Division, 15th Army Corps. under the command of Brig. Gen. J. M. Tuttle, and march to Hard Times Landing opposite Grand Gulf, Miss., distant 60 miles.
" On the 7th of May it crossed the river with the advance of the army and took up the line of march toward Jackson, Miss. It took part in the storming of that place on the 14th of May, and assisted in the destruction of railroads in the vicinity. Ordered from Jaek- son on the 16th of May, by forced marches, it followed on the rebel retreat from Champion Hills to their entrenchments at Vicksburg; assisted in the charge made on the rebel works on the 22d and operated with the army of investment for 34 days, during which time it assisted in clearing obstrnetions, making roads, construet- ing field works, mounting guns, and projecting approaches to within 20 yards of the rebel works, under an almost incessant fire. "On the 22d of June it was ordered to operate on our line of eir- enmvallation, under the command of Maj .- Gen. W. T. Sherman, where it remained until the surrender of Vicksburg. It was or- dered on the 4th of July to join the expeditionary army under Maj .- Gen. Sherman; sent in pursuit of the rebel force commanded

by Gen. Johnston and was present during the seven days' siege of Jackson, and final occupation of that city, which took place the 17th of July 1863.
" After the evacuation of Jackson by the rebels the regiment com - posed part of a force under Maj. Gen. Frederick Steel, which was ordered to Brandon, Miss., and was attached to a brigade under my command that engaged the enemy for two hours, repulsing them with loss and capturing Brandon.
" It also assisted in destroying the Meridian railroad 15 miles east of Jackson, and finally, on the 23d of July, 1863, retired with the expeditionary army to its present position on the right bank of Big Black River, 15 miles from Vicksburg.
" From the 2d of May to the 25th of July the regiment, without tents or transportation, marched over 300 miles, engaged the enemy at Vicksburg, twice at Jackson, and at Brandon; and although dur- ing the operations of this ever memorable campaign both the off- cers and men of the regiment suffered much exposure and hardships of a very trying character, they endured all without a murmur and with a fortitude which elicited on several occasions the unreserved commendation of the commanding general."
The regiments participated in many campaigns and battles, in- clnding a fight with Forrest at Memphis, Ang. 21, 1864. The last principal engagement was the capture of Spanish Fort. Ala., April 8. 1865. It was mustered out at the close of the war with dne honors.

and was at once ordered to the front. It took part in the battle of Shiloh as will be seen from the following report of Col. Crocker:
" Early on the morning of the 6th the alarm was given and heavy firing in the distance indicated that our camp was attacked. The regiment was formed in front of its color line, its full force consist- ing of 717 men, rank and file. It was at onee ordered to form on the lett of the 2d Brigade and proceeded to that position at a double qnick, and was then formed in line of battle in a skirt of woods bordering on an open field to the left of a battery. Here it re- mained for some time inactive while the enemy's guns were play- ing on our battery. In the meantime a large force of the enemy's infantry were filing around the open field in front of our line, pro- tected by the woods, and in the direction of our battery, opening a heavy fire of musketry on the infantry stationed on our right, and charging upon the battery, the infantry and battery to the right having given away. At this time we, as indeed all of our troops in the immediate vicinity of the battery. were thrown into great confusion and retired in disorder. IIaving retreated to the distance of 100 or 200 yards we sneceeded in rallying and forming a good line, the 8th and 18th Illinois Volunteers on our left, and having fronted to the enemy held our positions there under a continual fire of cannon and musketry until after 12 o'clock, when we were ordered to retire and take up a new position. This we did in good order and without confusion. Here having formed a new line, we maintained it under incessant fire nnt'l 4:30 o'clock P. M., the men conducting themselves with great gallantry and cool- ness, and doing great exeention on the enemy, repelling charge after charge and driving them back with great loss. At 4:30 o'clock we were again ordered to fall back. In obeying this order we became mixed up with a great number of regiments falling back in confusion, so that our line was broken and the regiment separated, rendering it very difficult to collect it ; but finally hav- ing succeeded in forming and being separated from the brigade we attached ourselves to the division commanded by Col. Tuttle, of the 2d Iowa Volunteers, and formed with his division in front of the encampment of the 14th, 2d and 7th Iowa Volunteers, where we sustained a heavy fire from the enemy's battery until dark, and then remained during the night on our arms. During the day we were under fire of the enemy for 10 hours and sustained a loss of 23 killed and 130 wounded.
449
IHISTORY OF SCOTT COUNTY.
" On the morning of the 7th we were ordered to continue with Colonel Tuttle's division, and to follow up and support our forces that were attacking and driving back the enemy. We followed them up closely, moving to support the batteries until the enemy was routed, after which we were ordered to return to the encamp- ment that we had left on Sunday morning, where we arrived at S o'clock P. M. Our total loss in the action of the 6th and 7th was, killed, 24; wounded, 139; missing, 9; total 172. The men for the most part behaved with great gallantry. All the officers exhib- ited the greatest bravery and coolness, and I call especial attention to the gallant conduct of my field officers, Lient .- Col. Price and Maj. Shane, who were both wounded in the action of the 6th, and acknowledge my great obligations to my adjutant, Lient. Wil- son, who during the entire action exhibited the highest qualities of a soldier."
On the 21st of July. 1864, an engagement was had before Atlanta. The following is the account of the affair given by Major Walker :
" At S o'clock A. M. the regiment was in position in front of the brigade, with the 15th Iowa Infantry on its left, and supported by the 16th Iowa Infantry; its front was protected by temporary works thrown up on the night of the 20th.
" About S o'clock A. M., I received orders from Col. John Shane, commanding brigade, to advance at once on the double-quick to the front, to assist Brig .- Gen. Force, commanding a brigade in the 3d Division, 17th Army Corps, who was fighting for the pos- session of a high hill in his front and to the left of this regiment. The men seized their arms, and sprang promptly over the works, advancing in good order to the crest of a hill less than 100 yards from the enemy's works, in the face of a heavy fire. Here I was ordered to halt, and held the position, exposed to a very destruc- tive fire of musketry, grape and canister, until, the enemy having withdrawn to their works, and Gen. Force having gained posses- sion of the hill, I was ordered to retire to the position I origi- nally occupied, which was done steadily and without confusion.
" Although the men had no previous notice of the advance, there was no disorder; being made, too, over an open field with no pro. teetion. I regret to say that though the engagement lasted but 30 minutes, the loss in officers and men was severe; 17 enlisted men killed and + officers and 77 enlisted men wounded.
" The regiment also participated in actions before Atlanta, July 27 and 28."
