The 10th Ohio Battery opened on the enemy as soon as the de- tachment fell back, and it is thought did considerable execution. On the evening of the same day we received the news of the surrender of Vicksburg, and at the same time Brigadier General Lauman relieved the brigade.
I cannot close this report without bearing testimony to the alac- rity, cheerfulness and gallant bearing which has been shown by the officers and men of the command through all the various and

trying scenes of the late campaign. In long marches, under the heat of a burning summer sun-in skirmishes with the enemy at all points of the line of investment, and with Johnston's troops at the rear,-in the rifle-pits in front of Vicksburg, either with rifle in hand as sharpshooters, or with spade throwing up additional works, but one feeling appeared to animate them, and that was a desire to do their whole duty.
Very respectfully, your obedient servant,

FALL AND WINTER 1863-64-EXPEDITION TO MONROE, LA., AUGUST -- TO BIG BLACK BRIDGE,-OCTOBER-SURGEON W. H. GIBBON INSPECT THE CAMP-WHERE THE QUICK- STEP ORIGINATES- GOING TO STAY AND SEE IT THROUGH -- WE RE-ENLIST FOR THE WAR-REPORTED A VETERAN REGIMENT JANUARY 5TH, 1864 -- THE VETERAN ROLL 354 MEN.
The campaign against Vicksburg having been successfully closed, the regiment and brigade were paid by Major Stanton, nnd soon after, in accordance with instructions from the War Dapart- ment, and agreeably to orders from Headquarters of the Army of the Tennessee, five per cent. of the men were tendered a furlough and officers received leaves of absence for thirty days. Colonel Belknap left August 10th, leaving Colonel Hedrick in command of the Regiment.
The Regiment with its brigade took part in General Stevenson's expedition to Monroe, Louisiana, Major Pomutz, of the 15th Iowa being detailed as division picket officer of the same. The regiment and brigade started on August 21st, with a fleet of twelve steamers to Goodrich Landing (fifteen miles above Milliken's Bend ) and from there marched, crossing the Bayous Tensas, Ma- con and Boeuf, to Oakridgetown, where the enemy was met. After considerable skirmishing, mostly done by the advance cavalry, for when the infantry were brought up and formed in line, the enemy fell back, pursued on that day and on the next, August 28th. At Monroe the enemy made another stand north of the town, and near the Washita river, where a spirited engage- ment commenced; the enemy soon became aware of preparations going on to flank them above and below the towm, and they left the place with the military stores therein, and some good redoubts

on the west side of the Wishita, and resumed a deliberate march to the rear, in which they were kindly helped by the Union cavalry following them closely for eight miles. The object of the expedition being to free the northern part of Louisiana from the cowardly, vagabond, guerrilla forces hovering around the rich farms of the country, and to destroy any rebel govermental maga- zines that might be found within reach, and this object having been attained, the expedition started back, camping, September 1st, at Bayou Macon. Reveille at midnight, and we march at 1 A. M. of the 2d, twenty-two miles and in afternoon arrive at Goodrich's Landing. September 3d, embarked at 10 o'clock A. M. on steamer David Tatum and arrived at old camp north of Vicksburg this day at 4 P. M.
In his most admirable address to Crocker's Iowa Brigade, at Iowa City, General A. Hickenlooper said of the campaign : "Your well earned rest was unfortunately very soon curtailed by a partic- ipation in that ill-advised and fruitless expedition to Monroe, La., during which forced marches of from fifteen to twenty miles per day were made through an uninhabitable country, subject to over- flow, and from the rich alluvial soil of which had sprung a dense growth of rank tropical vegetation, closing in your moving columns, as with walls of stone, excluding every breath of fresh air, confining the stifling dust, and concentrating the direct and re- flected rays of a midsummer sun with an intensity never before experienced; water was to be found only in the partially dried up and stagnant bayous, filled with reptiles of the most repulsive kind, while the unwelcome companionship of the slimy serpent and fes- tive " tick " added to the discomforts of your bivouacs.
The entire campaign appeared to be but a useless and dearly bought test of the maximum physical endurance of veteran soldiers- none others could have accomplished such a task; many fell by the wayside, others sickened and died, and the greatly impaired

health and strength of the entire command attested the folly of its conception and cruelty of its execution ."
General Mc Arthur having been assigned to the command of the Post of Vicksburg, and Colonel Chambers, assigned to command the 6th division on September 11th, Colonel Wm. Hall of the 11th Iowa, being senior, took command of the brigade; on same day the regiment and brigade moved to a new camp south of Vicksburg, inside of the line of rebel forts between Hall's ferry road and the Mississippi river .* Colonel Belknap returning from the north took command of the regiment on September 20th, and Lieutenant Colonel Hedrick, having received a leave of ab- sence started north on October 2d.
October 1st, the 6th division of the 17th Army Corps was numbered 4th division, 17th Army Corps. Colonel Chambers returned to command of brigade October 10th. Major George Pomutz, while picket officer, was ordered (Special Orders No. 226, from Headquarters 17th Corps, October 10th,) to pro- ceed to Northern military posts, and to cause men of the 3d bri- gade, who were improperly absent on detached service outside the Department of the Tennessee, to return to their respective com- mands forthwith.
* A SCENE IN CAMP.
A little incident occurred, while our regiment was in camp south of Vicksburg, that seem- ed ont of place for an officer at the time, and yet proved just the thing to do under the cir- cumstances. All will remember the "Beer Nook," up the ravine from camp. One evening two of H Company's largest and best service sergeants, Vincent and Rose, came into camp with a surplus of Beer nook on hand and were ready to whip the whole southern Confederacy if some one would trot it out ; but no Johnnies appearing, proceeded to have a skirmish by themselves. Lieutenant McArthur being in command of H Company, hastened to the com- pany grounds, and ordered the combatants to stop fighting, and go to their tents. Sergeant Vincent obeyed, but Sergeant Rose more belligerent and with fire in his eye, suggested to McArthur, that if he would divest himself of his shoulder straps, he, Rose, would proceed to make a second class funeral, out of a first class Lieutenant. This was too much for Mac. In an instant his coat and straps were thrown aside and he insisted on Sergeant Rose not standing back on account of rank as that was laid aside for the time; but Rose deeming dis- cretion the better part of valor, went into his tent. Mac said it seemed the only thing for him to do, but he never was so happy in his life as when Rose entered his tent. . He felt like giving him a furlough for thirty days. It was the talk of the regiment for some time. Co. A was proud of Mac for it, and none were better friends to the end of the service than Mac, Rose and Vincent.

History of the Fifteenth Regiment
October 11th, General J. B. McPherson, having started on an expedition to Jackson, the regiment and brigade, leaving camp and garrison equipage in camp, marched to Big Black Bridge, fifteen miles distant, and garrisoned that Post, until the expedition re- turned on the 21st, when the 3d brigade marched to their camp near Vicksburg.
November, 1863: No change of location of camp; no marches. Lieutenant Colonel J. M. Hedrick returned on the 15th; weather fine; troops in good condition, with plenty of duty to perform; remained in camp one and a half miles below Vicksburg until the night of the 24th of December, when the 11th and 15th Iowa, under command of Colonel Belknap, were ordered at 11 p. M. to re-enforce the small garrison at Red Bone Church, twelve miles to the southwest; arrived at 3 A. M. on the 25th, and at 2:30 P. M. on the 26th the line of march was resumed and the troops arrived in the old camp at 5 P. M. same day. Companies F and K being on guard at the Ordnance Depot, in the city, did not accompany the expedition .
With the exception of these smaller expeditions, the regiment and its brigade was allowed to enjoy, for the first time since enter- ing into service, a period of rest from the forepart of September to the end of January, 1864, doing only garrison duty as picket guard around Vicksburg. Reports and records, necessarily delayed during the preceding severe campaign, were now to be overhauled and completed; and while the men were exercised in drill and ( for the first time) in target shooting, a minute attention was paid to the health of the entire command.
The Surgeon being ordered to make weekly inspections in regard to the health and comfort of the men, and to advance suggestions with the view of improving the same, and the officers of the day were instructed to see that these suggestions were fully carried out in the whole command,

Camp 15th Iowa Vol., Nov. 17, '63.
Colonel W. W. Belknap.
SIR :- Upon inspection of the quarters this morning, I find the police and general cleanliness good, and the tents of the men, with very few exceptions, in a condition highly creditable to men and officers. But the culinary department in two or three of the com- panies is much neglected. Companies H and E have no coffee- pots, and the coffee is made in camp kettles. This, in view of its direct and positive bad influence upon the health of the men, is highly reprehensible. Camp kettles, even when clean and free from grease, which is frequently not the case, are totally unfit to make coffee in. Commanders of companies should see that their men are provided with tin coffee-pots. Iron kettles, though used constantly, are subject to a slow process of oxidation, the oxide being soluble in coffee, and where mixed with a small amount of grease, makes a compound which cannot fail to undermine the health of the men, generally giving them chronic diarrhoea in its worst and obstinate form. Respectfully,
W. H. GIBBON, Surg'n 15th Iowa. Camp 15th Iowa Inf., Nov. 24, 1863.
CIRCULAR :- The attention of officers is called to the suggestions of the within letter of Surgeon Gibbon, the suggestions of which Company Commanders will carry out.
Surgeon Gibbon will make weekly reports of the condition of the police and cooking of the Regiment.

I. The attention of Company Commanders is called to the necessity of a more effective policing and cleaning of the camp.
284
History of the Fifteenth Regiment
The sinks dug for that purpose, and not the parade ground, should be the receptacle for old bread, meat and vegetable matter, while all other rubbish should be collected in piles each morning before guard mounting in time for the police wagon. The health of the regiment requires this, and more thorough policing will be expected hereafter. The Surgeon reports the tents, as a general thing, com- fortable and cleanly, and there is every reason for paying as much attention to the ground outside. The officer of the day, on each day, respectively, will see that this matter is attended to in all parts of the camp. By order of
WM. W. BELKNAP, Colonel Commanding.
GENERAL ORDERS NO. 121.
Headquarters 15th Iowa Infantry, - Vicksburg, Miss., Dec. 13, 1863. 5
The reports of the officers of the day for 12 days past, show that the cooking utensils of the different companies have been reported clean as follows: A Company, 12 days; B Company, 4 days; C Company, 10 days; D Company, 8 days; E Company, 5 days; G Company, 7 days; H Company, 6 days; I Company, 9 days. Here- after officers of the day will report as to the cleanliness of the company grounds, tents, cook-tents and cooking utensils. At the end of each ten days, while in camp, the reports will be consoli- dated, and that company which the reports exhibit as cleanest in all these respects, will be relieved from tour of duty, unless the details from the regiment are too heavy to permit it.
The men should not be compelled to eat food cooked in dirty utensils, and experience shows that the health of the regiment im- proves with the cleanliness of the camp. By order of
WM. W. BELKNAP, Colonel Commanding.

GENERAL ORDERS, NO. 123.
Headquarters 15th Iowa Infantry,
1 Vicksburg, Miss., Dec. 24, 1863. 5
The consolidated reports of the officers of the day, from Decem- ber 14 to December 24, inclusive, show that the companies of this regiment have had no marks against them as to cleanliness of grounds, cooking utensils and company tents for the following num- ber of days: A Company, 9 8-9: B Company, 8; C Company, 81/3 ; D Company, 7 7-9; E Company, 9 5-9; G Company, 8 4-9; H Company, 81/3 ; I Company, 91/2 . A Company being the clean- est company reported, the Adjutant will credit every man of that company with one tour of duty, unless extraordinary details should be ordered from superior headquarters.
The company of the remaining seven, reported cleanest at the end of the next ten days, will be credited with a tour of duty .
By order of WM. W. BELKNAP, Colonel Commanding.
General Order No. 1, dated Headquarters 15th Iowa Infantry, Vicksburg, Jan. 5, 1864, [same as above order to following num- ber of days]: A Company, 91/2; B Company, 9 1-10; C Com- pany, 7 4-5; D Company, 8 1-10; E Company, 8 3-10: G Company, 8 1-10; H Company, 8 1-5; I Company, 71/2 ; and B Company was credited with one tour of duty .
The camp ground, the interior of the tents, and the cooking utensils of the command were never before in such a state of per- fect cleanliness as now, all of which resulted in a rapid improve- ment of the health of the men within the period of a few weeks,
About the end of 1863, the government having called upon the troops in the field to re-enlist as veterans for three years, or during the war, the 15th Iowa, three-fourths of whom had re-enlisted, was reported as a veteran regiment on January 5th, 1864.
286
History of the Fifteenth Regiment
Captain James Monroe Reid, I Company, 15th Iowa, was the officer who first reported his company had re-enlisted. It was the first company to veteran in the regiment, brigade and entire division.
THE FIRST VETERANS.
Headquarters 15th Iowa Veteran Infantry, Vicksburg, Miss., January 10th, 1864. 5
General N. B. Baker, Adjutant-General.
SIR :- In my letter of the 6th I stated that Sergeant Francis M. Majors, of Company D, was, I believe, the first veteran volunteer in this brigade. It should be corrected thus :
Sergeant Francis M. Majors and Private James W. Carter, of Company D, were sworn in by me as veteran volunteers Nov. 19th, 1863, and are therefore the first veterans in this regiment, and I be- lieve in the 3d brigade.
This may seem a matter of small moment, but the men are proud of the honor, and as they came together, and were sworn in to- gether, I do not wish to do injustice .
We have enlisted in this regiment as veterans (of those whose time expired January 5th, 218; of those whose time expired since January 5th, 106), 324; being over three-fourths.
I am, very respectfully, your obedient servant, WM. W. BELKNAP, Colonel 15th Iowa Veteran Infantry.
