The first and last place with the veterans was the cemetery. We went to it sad in beart and came away with increased sorrow. Twenty-two years had not lessened the love for the brave comrades buried here in a rebellious soil conquered and consecrated by the best and bravest of our number. They sac- rificed home, friends and life with heroic cheerfulness and with a hope for their country last in their hearts, a smile of remembrance of loved ones at home last on their faces, they died without a murmur, dying as heroes die-as Christ died-for others. Did they die in vain? Let the history of the next twenty- five years answer.
We left their silent and the greatest part of them "unknown" graves in silence and unutterable sorrow, bowed down with grief this pencil cannot ex- press. No other nation in the history of the world ever had such noble war- riors, and no other nation ever came so near giving up all the fruits of their brave struggles, undying devotion and self-sacrificing valor. The American Nation has proven itself unworthy of such heroic sons, and branded itself with infamy and dishonor. Even the muddy waters of the Tennessee sluggishly wash the base of their last resting place in its course to the northwest, and toward the desolated homes of nearly all our honored dead who are buried on its banks, as if in wild mockery of the phantom army being unable to rise from their shroudless, coffinless graves and take up their line of march in the same direction. Oh, the bitterness that sorrow drove deep into the hearts and minds of their living comrades as they took their last look upon their graves. Language cannot express it, thought cannot fathom it, and compre- bension cannot compass it. Every veteran came away from those mute graves in the green woods of Tennessee thinking less of his government, less of the American people, and more of the ungratefulness of republics than ever be- fore. No army of equal intelligence, devotion and valor can ever be enlisted in this nation again until ber people have forgotten how the fruits of the last war have been thrown away, how treason has been rewarded, and how loud- mouthed rebels now boast their treason in the halls of the American Congress.

SECOND REUNION OF THE
Who Saved the Day at Shiloh.
The following, written by Col. Geddes, and taken from the lowa State Register. will be exceedingly interesting to members of the 12th and i4th Iowa:
On the near approach of the twenty third anniversary of the battle of Shi- loh I feel that the time has arrived when simple justice may be done the brave men who stood by their colors and country so heroically on that bloody day.
For twenty-two years I, for one, have keenly telt that the heroism of three devoted lowa regiments has never been candidly acknowledged by the- an- thorities, not the far-reaching consequences of their patriotic devotion fully ap- preciated. I will therefore answer your question, "Who Conquered at Shiloh?" by stating without fear of contradiction, and with the opportune assistance from Confederate reports of that battle, now for the first time published by the War Department, that lowa conquered at Shiloh !
How often have we recalled to our memories that timber-crested hill, so sacred to us all as the resting place of many a dear comrade, and soon to be visited again by some of the survivors, drawn as it were by some wierd and all- pervading influence to the spot, which for these many years they have longed to tread once more.
These three lowa regiments -- the Eighth, Twelfth and Fourteenth-de- fended a position all that day of so much importance to our army, that had it been carried by the rebels, even as late as 3 o'clock in the afternoon, the high bluffs of the Tennessee would not have had a Union soldier to shelter.
Permit me to quote from the official reports of a few of the Confederate officers who, with their commands, engaged these three lowa regiments, and who describe the position they held so vividly that most of our surviving com- rades who may read this cannot fail to recognize the historic spot. On page 483, Vol. X: War of the Rebellion, Col R. S. Gibson, commanding First Brig- ade, Ruggles' division, reports as follows :
"The position alluded to was a densely wooded hill, surrounded by a ra- vine." Again, on page ;So, he says: "The brigade moved forward in fine style, marching through an open field under a heavy fire, and half way up an elevation covered with an almost impenetrable thicket upon which the enemy was posted ; on the left was a battery opened that raked our flank, while a steady fire of musketry extended along the entire front. Under this combined fire our line was broken and the troops fell back, but they were soon rallied and advanced to the contest. Four times the position was charged and four times the assault proved unavailing. The strong and almost maccessible posi- tion of the enemy, his infantry well covered in ambush, and his artillery skill- fully posted and efficiently served, was found to be impregnable to infantry alone. We were repulsed " Again, on page 483, he continues : " I had sent Mr. Robert Pugh to the General after the first assault, for artillery, but the re- quest was not granted, and in place of it he brought me orders to advance again on the enemy. In the execution of this order we charged repeatedly, as described, and were repulsed."
In this connection I will quote from my own report, written in a rebel pris- on twenty-two years ago, and found in the same document, on page 166 : "About i p. m General Prentiss placed a battery in position immediately in front of my regiment. The precision of its fire, which was directed by the General in person, made great havoc in the advancing columns of the enemy. It therefore became an object of great importance to them to gain possession of the battery. To this end they concentrated, and hurled column after col- umn on my position, charging most gallantly to the muzzles of the guns."
For the purpose of still further corroborating the rebel testimony, I quote from Col. W. T. Shaw's report, on pages 153-4, made after his return trom
57

prison: "I now perceived a large force of the enemy approaching from the left and front, and immediately reported the fact to Col. Tuttle, who, at my re- quest, sent me a couple of brass six-pounders, which were nearby. These | got into position just in time to receive the enemy. They advanced with the most desperate bravery, the brunt of the attack falling upon the Eighth łowa, by whom it was most gallently borne." f have good authority for saying that the firm resistance of the center at that time was the chief means of saving our whole army from destruction:
In identifying the topography of this important position held by these three lowa regiments, I would call attention to the report of Col. J. J. Woods, of the Twelfth lowa, on page 151. With the precision of a trained officer he thus describes the position: "The Eighth lowa was on the left of the Fourteenth, forming an angle to the rear with our line. An open field lay in front of our right. Dense timber covered our left, a small ravine immediately behind us. Again and again did he attack us. We repulsed every attack and drove him back in confusion."
Now compare with the foregoing the report of Capt. E. M. Dubroca, com- manding the Thirteenth Louisiana Regiment of Col. Gibson's brigade, page 491: "Our loss in crossing the field was very heavy. We were ordered to the right to charge the enemy, who were lying in ambush at the foot of the hill, entirely hidden from us by a dense undergrowth, which screened their posi- tion. There is a time when patience ceases to be a virtue?' We were forced to fall back and form anew. And a second and third time we returned to the charge, leaving on the field some of our brave soldiers."
Also compare the report of Col. J. F. Fagan, commanding First Arkansas, Gibson's brigade, Ruggles' division, on page AS8. He says: "It was about noon, the turning point of the day and the turning point of the battle. Upon the edge of a wheat field, to the right of the field last mentioned, the regi- ment, with the whole brigade, was drawn up in line of battle, and marching directly to the front, across a field, entered a dense thicket of undergrowth, which led down to a ravine and a hill beyond. Here we engaged the enemy three different times, and braved a perfect rain of bullets, shot and shell Three different times did we go mto that valley of death, and as often were forced back."
Sufficient, I think, has been stated to prove, beyond controversy, two im- portant facts. First, the position these three devoted regiments ocenpied du- ring the battle of the 6th of April, 1862, and the terrible character of the con- Hiet sustained. Much more can be gleaned from the rebel reports in further corroboration of these facts, but your precious space warns me to desist. 1 will only notice two important points. First. the time these three lowa regi- ments were captured, and second, the result of their heroic resistance. How often have our brave boys been pained on hearing the off-repeated mean and flippant remark, "O, you were captured in the morning at Shiloh," and by many who never dared approach the loe near enough to be captured. What a leg- acy to a weeping wife when the news of the bloody conflict sped over the lines to our homes, "Your husband was taken prisoner with his regiment with- out fighting." The true state of the case could not be ascertained, for no wit- ness was there but those concerned.
In regard to the time of capture I will quote from the report of Col. B. L. Hodge, Nineteenth Lonisiana Infantry, page 193: "Again we advanced into the little farm, and again when midway the clearing, the enemy opened fire upon us Again we pressed on to the fence directly m front of his ambuscade. Here we remained exposed to his merciless fire for over half an hour. I may be permitted to add, sir, that this formidable position of the enemy, after hav- ing withstood the repeated attacks of various regiments, was only carried at last by a charge on the right flank, supported by a battery on the left. After the enemy were driven from this stronghold, we, with several brigades, mov- ed toward the river. It was then nigh sunset."
.

SECOND REUNION OF THE
The report of Gen. Braxton Bragg, commanding the Second Corps, states the following: "Here we met the most obstinate resistance of the day." the enemy being strongly posted, with infantry and artillery, on an eminence im- mediately behind a dense thicket. Hindman's command was gallantly led to the attack, but recoiled, under a murderous fire. Finding that nothing could be done here after hours of severe exertion and heavy losses, and learning of the fall of our commander-the troops were so posted as to hold this position-and leaving a competent staff officer to direct them in my name, I moved rapidly to the extreme right. It was now probably past 4 o'clock."
I will now summon Gen. Leonidas Polk to give evidence as to what time these three lowa regiments were made prisoners of war. On page 409 he says: "About 5 p. m. my line attacked the enemy's troops-(Gen. Polk's was the reserve of the C. S. A., the main body being well on toward the landing at this time)-the last that were left upon the field. They proved to be the com- mands of Gens. Prentiss and W. H. 1 .. Wallace."
Gen. G. T. Beauregard in his report, on page 387, writes: "It was after 6 p. m., as before said, when the enemy's last position was carried." Such, Mr. Editor, is the true story of the battle of Shiloh but half told; such the tale of sturdy valor and true patriotism that will be repeated again and again around the ingles of our happy lowa homes for generations yet to come. The truth will always survive, in spite of pride of place or high position. And if not at present, in after years the tear of sympathy will wet the page that rehearses the signal of their heroic deeds, and the tale of the prison pen, the dead line, the bloodhound, the hollow eye, sunken cheek and crippled form will only add to the intensity of interest in the immortal deeds of these three regiments of lowa boys "who conquered at Shiloh."
On the following pages will be found a roster of the regiment by companies, giving not only the names and addresses of those who are known to be living, but time and place of death of many who survived the battle.
