Disastrous campaigning and some brilliant skirmishing at Prairie D'Anne, and about Camden, tried the energies of the Eighteenth until their brilliant struggle, April 17, near Poison Spring, in defense of a forage train, where, for a considerable time, the regiment " kept at bay " a force of five to one of its number. At Jenkin's Ferry it was used as a reserve force, and was not brought into action.

TWENTY-THIRD INFANTRY.
The Twenty-third Iowa Infantry Volunteers was organized at Des Moines during the fall of 1862, under the direction of Col. William Dewey. It was mustered into the United States service September 19, 1862. On the 20th a portion of this regiment left for Keokuk, and on the 26th the remainder arrived at that place. On the 28th it embarked for St. Louis, where it arrived the 30th, and reported to Gen. Curtis, who ordered the regiment to Schofield Barracks, where it was quartered and kept on provost duty in the city until October 7, when it was ordered to Pilot Knob, Mo., where it re- mained encamped until the 15th, when it was sent to Patterson. While encamped at this place the regiment suffered severely with numerous camp diseases, and was engaged in several successful expeditions. December 1 the members were called upon to mourn the loss of their leader, Col. Dewey. December 20, it broke camp and started for Van Buren, Mo .; and January 14, 1863, started for West Plains, Mo., where they arrived after much dif- ficulty, on account of cold and rain. February 25, 1863, it returned to Pilot Knob, where it remained in camp until March 9, and then started for Ste. Genevieve, and from there to New Madrid, Mo., and remained here until March 20, and then embarked for Milliken's Bend, La. On the 11th of April, broke camp and proceeded, via Richmond, La., to a point opposite Grand Gulf, Miss., and witnessed the bombardment of that place by gun- boats, and the next morning crossed the Mississippi river, below Grand Gulf, and continued the march until after midnight, when the advance was fired on by the enemy's pickets. At 8 o'clock, May 1, the regiment was ordered to advance and charge down a hill on the enemy, who were partially concealed in a dense canebrake. Into this they went with fixed bayonets and drove them from it. They were under fire until 3 o'clock, when they made another charge and drove them back in such confusion that they could not make another stand that day. The regiment was held in reserve at Champion Hills until the afternoon, when they were deployed as skirmish- ers. May 17 it started for Black River Bridge, where the enemy had a line of entrenchments three miles long with a deep bayou in front of them. Here the regiment signally distinguished itself by charging the enemy's work's and taking 2,500 prisoners. This result was not obtained without a heavy sacrifice. The colonel and one captain were mortally wounded and four other officers wounded, and 134 enlisted men killed and wounded. The regiment was then detailed to guard prisoners to Memphis, and on their re- turn were stopped at Milliken's Bend to defend the place against attack. Here they were attacked by 2,500 Texans and had one of the most sangui-

nary struggles of the war, and of the most desperate character; the conflict was hand to hand, and the losses frightful. July 20 they returned to the rear of Vicksburg, and remained in the trenches until its surrender. July 5, started in pursuit of Gen. Johnston, capturing Jackson, Miss., driving the enemy across the Pearl river. The excessive heat and arduous duty told heavily on the regiment and they returned to Vicksburg with 120 men for duty. August 13 it was transferred to the Department of the Gulf and proceeded to New Orleans. September 4, started with Gen. Banks' Teche expedition as far as Opelousas, and returned to New Orleans. November 16, in connection with other forces, embarked for the coast of Texas, and captured Fort Esperanza, on Matagorda Island. January 16, the regiment went to Indianola, and remained there on post duty until March 14, when it returned to Matagorda Island, and April 26 embarked for New Orleans, and was ordered to reinforce Gen. Banks at Alexandria, La. It formed a junction with him at Morganza, La. July 13, were ordered to proceed to St. Charles, Ark., and establish a post there. August 6, returned to Mor- ganza. After this it was at Duvall's Bluffs, Brownsville, and in 1865 em- barked for Kennville, La. They afterward distinguished themselves in the operations around Mobile, where they were ever in the front. After the fall of Mobile it accompanied the Federal forces to Texas, and was mustered out at Harrisburg, July 26, 1865.

THIRTY-NINTH INFANTRY.
The enlistments in this regiment from Dallas county were in Companies B, C, and H, the two latter having been raised in this county. The com- panies were assigned to the regiment, and its colonel commissioned Septem- ber 12, 1862, and was ordered to rendezvous at Des Moines. While they re- mained here the whole energies of the officers were devoted to instructing the men in drill and other duties of soldiers. On the 26th of October, the regiment moved to Davenport, where they were speedily uniformed and equipped. The regiment was mustered into the service of the United States November 24, 1862. The delay in mustering was caused by two other companies not having the minimum number of men. While in camp at Davenport they had nearly 300 cases of measles. Many of the men were only convalescent when the regiment was ordered to the front.
On the 13th day of December the command left Davenport by rail and reported to Brig. Gen. Tuttle at Cairo, at which place they remained two

days awaiting orders. The men were then transferred to a steamboat, and on the 16th of December dropped down the river to Columbus and disem- barked. It was dark and very muddy and rainy. They were ordered to select a place to camp, and for the first time those miserable apologies known as shelter-tents were raised, and on the cold and wet ground the Thirty-ninth made its bed. On the 18th December the regiment took cars for Corinth, Miss. This day the rebel Gen. Forrest first approached the railroad near Jackson, Tenn. The regiment arrived at that place abont dark. - Forrest cut the road that evening near Trenton about half an hour after the Thirty-ninth passed over, cutting off the train following it. The regiment was kept lying behind earth-works for four days, a momentary attack being expected by the commanding general. Here the men suffered much from short rations, and were unable to cook what food they had. It finally became apparent that the move on Jackson was a feint to hold the troops there while Forrest cut the road north of the town On the 22d the Thirty-ninth, with other regiments, was ordered up the road to drive off the enemy and repair the road. Forrest was known to be at Huntingdon, thirty miles east. The Thirty-ninth, with other regiments, comprised the Second Brigade, and were ordered to march from Trenton on the 27th at dark, each man to carry five days' rations and one hundred rounds of ammunition. This was the first march of the regiment. Just from Iowa, many but a couple of weeks out of hospitals, all worn out by short rations and loss of sleep, and overburdened by carrying rations and ammunition, they marched all night and went into camp near daylight. At 8 o'clock they were ordered to resume their march and marched all day. The next morning many of the men were completely worn out, others were too foot sore to proceed, and they were compelled to leave over one hundred men. During the day they attempted to make their way back to Trenton, but at Shady Grove were surrounded by a regiment of Forrest's Cavalry and one hundred and one were made prisoners. (These did not rejoin the regiment until October, 1863.) December 31, 1862, at Red Mound, or Parker's Cross Roads, they came in contact with Forrest's whole command, numbering between 6,000 and 7,000 men. They fought from 9 o'clock in the morning until 3 in the afternoon nnder great disadvantage of numbers and position. At 3 o'clock reinforcements arrived and Forrest fled, leaving in their hands a great num- ber of prisoners, horses, cannon, and small arms. January 2, 1863, they arrived at Jackson, and on the 7th, at Corinth, where they remained' until November 2, 1863, doing garrison duty. The regiment made several marches, guarding trains, that took two or three days at a time. May 6, Co. H, which was on duty guarding a corral a few miles from Corinth, was surronnded by 800 rebel Cavalry and the captain and most of the company made prisoners. November 2, 1863, the regiment, with others, moved from Corinth to Pulaski, Tenn., and had twenty-five miles of railroad and country to hold and maintain quiet. March 12, 1864, marched to Athens, Ala. But it was in the battle at Altoona, Ga., October 5, 1864, that the regiment suffered its greatest loss. Eight companies of this regiment were in the en- gagement, numbering 284 men. There was left 119, making a loss of 165 men, or nearly three-fifths of the regiment. Among the killed was Lieut. Col. Redfield, of whom we have more to say. Those who witnessed the heroism and determination of the Thirty-ninth on that day say they had never before seen such fighting, and pronounced it the Chickasaw Bayou
