On the 21st, the Iowa Brigade, under Col. Shane, lost 226 men in twenty-seven minutes, in a splendid assault on a rebel fort. Again engaged on the 22d, and suffered severely.

TWENTY-THIRD INFANTRY.
Company K was from Marshall County. This company was enlisted in a few days, about the middle of August, 1862. The regiment was mustered into the United States' service September 10, 1862. Went into barracks at Des Moines; from there to Keokuk, and thence to Schofield Barracks, at St. Louis.
The first orders received were to send the regiment to Pilot Knob, or Iron Mountain, Mo. A temporary camp was there made. The next move was to Camp Patterson. The regiment was ordered off on a trip through Missouri, to the southwestern part of the State, and thence was at- tached to the Department of the Gulf. Participated in the Vicksburg campaign, and was engaged in the battles of Port Gibson, Black River Bridge, Champion Hills, Vicksburg, Jackson and Milliken's Bend.
At the close of this campaign, the regiment went up Red River, where numerous skirmishes were had. It then went to Fort Esperenza, Texas, and afterward took part in the battle at Fort Blakely, while approaching Mobile. After the surrender of that city, the regiment entered it, but soon departed for Texas, going to Galves- ton and Houston. From there it went to Brownsville, on the Colorado River, Texas, and was there when the war ended.
The regiment was mustered out at Davenport. It was distinguished for its brave conduct in the numerous en- gagements in which it participated.

On the 17th of February, 1862, they went to the front at Bird's Point, Mo. March 4th, they went to New Madrid, where they arrived on the 12th inst. After the capture of Island No. 10. they were put aboard a fleet under Pope's command, went up the Tennessee to Hamburg, to assist in the investment of Cor- inth. On the 9th of May, 1862, at Farmington, they charged a battery of eight guns supported by 15,000 infantry. May 28, 1862, started on a raid to Boone- ville, Miss., and entered Corinth May 31st, and on June 15th retired from the front to Farmington. On June 26th returned to the front at Booneville, where, with the Sec- ond Michigan, they repulsed Chalmers, who charged upon them with 4,000 men. They then moved back to Rienzi, Miss., where, on the 26th of August, they repulsed a charge made by Faulkner with 2,500 men. The regi- ment remained here until the 5th of September, when they went with Gen. Rosecrans to take part in the defeat and pursuit of the rebels at luka, Miss., and thence to the second battle of Corinth, October 24th. Had en- gagements with the enemy at Coffeeville, Miss., Decem- ber 5th, Palo Alto April 3d, 1863, Birmingham April 24, 1863, and Jackson, Tenn., in July ; at Grenada August 17, at Collierville, November 3d, Moscow December 4, 1863, being engaged the rest of the year in keeping the rebels away from the Memphis & Charleston Railway.
They were mustered as veterans at Memphis, Tenn., March 28, 1864, and recruited to 1,088 men, the veterans numbering 360. They arrived at Davenport on veteran furlough April 15, 1864, and reassembled for duty May 15th, and left for St. Louis May 17th, and being supplied with horses, reached Memphis May 29th.
June 19th, were armed with Spencer's seven-shooting carbines, and joined A. J. Smith's forces for an expedi- tion against Forrest, then at Tupelo, Mi-s. Encountered the enemy at Pontotoc, pushed him back to a strong posi- tion three miles south of that place, moved by the left flank to the rear of the enemy, and seized Tupelo, his base of operations. On the 14th of July, engaged in the re- pulse of four desperate charges made by Forrest's troops. Met and defeated Forrest again on the 15th at Old Town. Reached Memphis July 24, 1864. where the regiment ro- mained till August 21, when they went again in search of the enemy, whom they found on the 9th near Oxford, Miss., where they engaged in varions skirmishes until about August 22d. They then returned in pursuit of Forrest, who had started on his famous raid to Memphis, and reached La Grange August 28th, and White's Station, near Memphis, September 5th. Left here September 30th for Middle Tennessee, to confront Forrest, who had crossed the Tennessee River at Clifton, and were here ordered to join Sherman's army on his famous march to the sea, but subsequently were ordered to join Gen. Thomas in repelling Hood's invasion, November 1, 1864, and from that time to the 20th were engaged in various skirmishes with Hood's army, before whom they retreated
