The trophies of your glorious past Are cherished where they'Il always last; The battle flags round which you bled Were borne with pride where Sherman led; They floated over mountain and rill From Chickasaw Bluffs to Bentonville.
And in the winds of ocean old They spread anew each tattered fold. In memory you march today Over the oft disputed way! Then you recall the wooded ridge, And where the cannon-shattered bridge, There stands Atlanta, grim, and here The graves of some old messmates near Who in their sacred shrouds of blue, Await Jehovah's Grand Review!
Here once in battle line you stood, In Vicksburg's gloomy wood: Here is the spot where Abbott fell, And then you followed General Steele, On Vicksburg's hills now clad in green, To pallid lips you pressed canteen; And tearfully knelt at comrade's side, To catch his farewell, ere he died. A thousand seenes like these come back

HISTORY OF THE THIRTIETH IOWA INFANTRY.
To you, o'or recollection's track; On seenes of peril, mirth and death, Today you lay affection's wreath. How softly does the breezes blow Alike on fallen friend and foe! Today the crystal rivers run Across the fields your valor won; The southern cross looks nightly down On crumbling fort and taken town; And where we heard our campfire tales The slimy serpent makes his trails; And in the rebel haunted wood, Where, oft alone, on guard you stood, With each old tree a spectre grim The cricket chirps the evening hymn. Ah! me! since Chattanooga's awful day, A score of years have passed away, And with them 'neath the silent arch You've seen your gallant comrades march To camp anew on yonder shore, Where battle drums beat never more. Twelve months ago our banner blest Lay on your old commander's breast; Columbia knelt beside his bier, And dowed it with her purest tear; And by the stream that seeks the sea, Beneath the emblem of the free, Victorious in his last redoubt, The old war chief lies mustered out! You followed him amid the smoke And flame of war; your courage broke The rebel lines, and when he led Right and the union triumphed! In peace he sleeps! He was your chief; His crown knows not a fading leaf; And this is fame enough for you- That under Grant you wore the blue. You're growing old; the fleeting year Brings frost whose finger marks appear, I see them in thy furrowed face, Thy silvered hair, too, beams their trace; Your step is not as light as when

HISTORY OF THE THIRTIETH IOWA INFANTRY.
You drove rebellion to his den, Then homeward came with shattered ranks To greet a loyal people's thanks. A few more years and death's tattoo Will sound above the last of you; And civil wars, dread trumpet blast,
Will be an echo of the past.
Look back with pride today and see
The fields you erowned with victory! From Yazoo's muddy, marshy plain,
To proud Savannah by the main; On Kenesaw and Lookout mountain's heights, Where red mouthed cannons belched forth their might And every night the stars looked down On Chickamauga's crimson crown. At Rossville's Gap you left your braves, And glory crowned the Tennessee waves! There's Mission Ridge, whose parapet You took with glistening bayonet; Resaca! Kingston! They're your own! And old Atlanta-fire swept town. And where the Chattahoochee flows, You left your dead to meet repose. I cannot name each glorious plain O'er which your eagles flew amain; You know them all, and Fame has set On each a deathless coronet. Yon recollect when Johnston threw At Sherman's feet, the sword he drew In treason's canse: 'Neath victory's sun You marched at last on Washington --
Marched up through Richmond-humbled town-
With all her ill starred banners down, Saw Lee's last ineffectual mote, And Grant's grim hand at treason's throat.
Then down that beautious avenue, You showed your tattered suit of blue, And to the loyal winds unfurled The fairest banner in the world! Who would not fight four years to see And share in such a pageantry. You know the dangers that you braved,
140
HISTORY OF THE THIRTIETH IOWA INFANTRY.
I need not tell you what you saved, Look at the land that stretches far From southern cross to northern star, From old Atlantic's sullen roar, To calm Pacific's golden shore; And over all one banner waves, It stars shine on our missing braves. "Tis said to you, 'tis said to me, That by-gones all should by-gones be, That we beside our noble dead Should lay a wreath where treason bled, And say they were misguided foes Who, in their suits of gray, repose. Aye, let tliem call it what they will, But treason will be treason still. Today let all your campfires burn, And often may their joys return! And when upon life's last redoubt, The last Blue Coat is mustered out, The fairest wreath that Beauty's hand Can find in all this lovely land, Will fall, bedewed with silent tear, Upon his own immortal bier; And Glory's sun shall never set Upon his polished bayonet!
CHAPTER IX.
MUSTER ROLL AND CASUALITIES.
How true that which is written "greater love hath no man" than he who voluntarily gives up his life for a friend, for a principle, or for his country. Such sayings come forcibly home to every patri- otic citizen, and especially to an old soldier, as he stands, as many of us have, looking over that vast field of white headstones that cover that beautiful national cemetery at Vicksburg, Mississippi, where 16,397 of our brave boys lay wrapped in their blankets, sleeping the years of their young manhood away; or stand in that other great national cemetery at Andersonville, Georgia, and view the harvest of death by exposure, cruelty, neglect and starva- tion, where rest the emaciated bodies of 12,926 of as brave mar- tyrs as ever laid down their lives for any country or cause. All or any could have secured their freedom by taking the oath to serve under the rebel flag, but rather than renounce their country, they . drank their enp of starvation to the dregs, that we, kind reader, might have one country and one flag. Such stoic bravery, such devotion to a great principle has never been surpassed since the crucifixion.
This is war, and in war parlance these are called casualities. This is the part assigned the writer by the Thirtieth Iowa Association. in arranging material and statistics for this history. Sergeant James Fowler was assigned the travels of the regiment, and as he had General Sherman's Memoirs and other standard histories to guide him, the reader can rest assured that the many marches and battles of the regiment will be found correct as to time and place, with perchance a few minor mistakes and omissions, such mistakes being found, more or less, in all histories.
112
HISTORY OF THE THIRTIETH IOWA INFANTRY.
The same care has been taken as to the statistics and casualities, having had the adjutant general's reports to consult, as well as our old diary, which we kept during the entire service.
When we remember the regiment had, all told, including re- eruits, 1,038 men, and after three years campaigning there were but 267 left to stack arms at Davenport, Iowa - it is true our mus- ter roll carried an excess of this number, but some were sick at . tinie of muster out, many away on detached service, while our re- cruits were transferred to veteran regiments to remain in the ser- vice awhile -- it can hardly be expected but what a few mistakes have been made in keeping track of all those men who were killed and wounded and when and where; those who died, were discharg- ed or taken prisoners, and when and where. Still we believe the reader will find the roll call and casuality list very near if not abso- Intely correct.
All orders of any importance that were read to the regiment, which guided and controlled their actions during three years of service, together with official reports of battles and campaigns, will be found grouped together in a preceding chapter. In this chapter will be found all promotions and resignations in the ten different companies, including field and staff officers, from the or- ganization of the regiment to its muster out.
Many things have had to be omitted that we hoped to have in our history, such as the pictures of field, staff and line officers, but so many were killed in the service, and so many have died since mustered ont, whose pictures we were unable to secure, that our few officers now living thought it would be only due courtesy to their fallen brother officers to leave all pictures out. We also in- tended to devote a chapter to our comrades who were taken pris- oners, telling of their capture, treatment, and the casualities among them, but so few survived the terrible ordeal, and of what few returned so many have died, that we found correct informa- tion impossible to secure, so we had to omit it also, and it may be as well. Perchance it is best to pass it by, and with those who not only sleep in the many different cemeteries, but those who oc- enpy the forgotten and unknown graves marked only by the trail of blood, all over the southland, let them rest in peace, and as Will Carlton, writes:
"Cover them over with beautiful flowers,
Those fathers, those brothers, those heroes of ours."
And now as we come to the close of our work, your committee begs leave to express their thanks to the many comrades who have

so materially assisted us by their kindly advice and encourage- ment, and while it has taken more time, work and patience than anticipated, all of which has been gladly given gratis, simply a la- bor of love for our comrades, your committee will feel amply repaid if we have placed in your hands and in the hands of our children, an acceptable report, in book form, of the organization, the many long marches, the battles and casualities of the grand old regiment, that we are all proud to have had the honor to
serve in. As we said in the circular letter sent out at the begin- ning of this work, we do not expect the book will be bought and sought by everyone, but we believe many will be curious to look through its pages, and read the story of the three year's cam- paign. Yet none can be so interested as those who know by act- ual experience, what the reveille, the long roll, the long, weary march, or the shock of battle stand for, and to you, comrades, and to our children, is this history respectfully dedicated by your committee. .
