TWENTY-SEVENTH INFANTRY.
Company F, Twenty-Seventh Regiment, was formed at Greeley in 1862, from men enlisted in Coffin's Grove, Man- chester and Greeley. The people of Greeley gave the men a bountiful dinner and presented the company with a flag on the day they met and chose their officers. The regiment went into camp for drill at Dubuque, but was sent to Minnesota in October of that year to act as escort to the officers paying the friendly Indians in that State. The command was then ordered to Cairo, and thence to Memphis. The regiment was moved, under Sherman, in the demonstration against the rebels at the Tallahatchie. December 21st, six companies of the regiment moved into Holly Springs, just vacated by Van Dorn. In January, 1863, the regiment took part in the engagement at Lex- ington, Tenn., where Forrest was badly trounced. In August, the regiment was sent to Arkansas, and assisted in the capture of Little Rock. It remained at that place till November, when it returned to Memphis.
The following extract from a letter published in the Delaware County Union of April 1, 1864, from Lieut. W. N. Boynton, of the Twenty-seventh Fowa Infantry, dated Vicksburg, March 10, will give some idea of the services performed by that regiment :
"We have just returned from one of the biggest marches ever made by infantry during this war, having marched entirely across the State of Mississippi and back again, a distance of 475 miles ; and this, too, without find- ing any force of the enemy worth mentioning. We left Vicksburg on the 3d of February and returned on the 5th of March, having had some of the prettiest weather ever known at this time of the year. It only rained a part of two days during the entire time. We destroyed fifty-five miles of railroad, burned nine towns, viz .: Jackson (the remnant), Morton, Brandon, Hillsboro, Decatur, Merid- ian, Enterprise (by the 7th Army Corps), Marion, Marion Station and a little town called Union. All of these were most effectually cleaned out. We also burned eighteen railroad bridges, twenty-two water tanks and seven rail- road depots, cotton and cotton gins too numerous to men- tion. Dwelling houses also caught a foretaste of the future. In fact, complete devastation and desolation fol- lowed us everywhere. Never have I had better reasons for thanking my 'lucky star' that war was not in the 'land of my home,' than on this occasion. Well may the people of the North thank God, or 'Grant's big guns, with fighting boys to man them,' that war is not at their doors."
March 10, 1864, the regiment started from Vicksburg on the Red River expedition, and four days after assisted in the capture of Fort DeRussey. Col. Woods says the regiment moved too rapidly for a long charge, but all the time under good control. The boys mounted the parapet and fired on the rebels, who immediately raised the white flag and surrendered. The regiment reached Grand Ecore, La., April 4, and on the 9th was in the engagement at Pleasant Hill. Cavalry charged upon the position occu- pied by the Twenty-seventh, resulting in the annihilation of the attacking force. Later in the day, the regiment was under a heavy fire for two hours, and came near being captured, owing to the other forces near by having withdrawn. When the order came to retreat, the regi- ment was being pressed hard on the flanks, but after a sharp struggle, marched off in line, and in good order. Capt. Holbrook, of Company F, received special mention for his bravery in this action. After being severely wounded, he continued at the head of his company until a second wound compelled him to seek a Surgeon's care.
The next day, Gen. Banks ordered a retreat, and up to May 19, the Twenty-seventh heard the roar of artillery almost daily. May 18, the regiment took part in the bat- tle of Yellow Bayou, in which it lost three men killed and fourteen wounded. The regiment marched to Mem- phis, and on the 6th of June assisted in driving the enemy off the field at Ditch Bayon, Ark. July 14 and 15, the command took an honorable part in the battles of Tupelo and Old Town Creek. The regiment was in the heavy fighting near Nashville, December 15, and on the following day the command made a brilliant charge on the works at Mountain Heights, driving the rebels out of their intrenchments and into the woods.
April 9, 1865, the Twenty-seventh was in the charging forces that captured Fort Blakely, Ala. Thence the reg- iment marched to Montgomery, and was present at its surrender. July 15, the regiment was ordered to Mem- phis, and thence to Clinton, where it was mustered out. During its term of service, this regiment marched over three thousand miles, and traveled by rail and steamboat over ten thousand miles. As can be seen above, its record is a proud one, and it is a matter of congratulation that the men of Company F, who escaped the perils of the bat- tles they were engaged in, are in our midst, useful and honored citizens.
[NOTE .- This regiment was mustered out of service af Clinton Aug. 8, 1865. Officers not otherwise accounted for were mustered out as with regiment.

It did guard and garrison duty at Memphis and La Grange, Tenn., during the Summer, and, on expira- tion of the term of service, returned to Davenport, where the men were mustered out.

FORTY-SIXTH INFANTRY.
This was also a 100-day regiment. It went into service at Davenport, June 10, 1864, and was forwarded to Cairo and thence to Memphis, arriving at the latter place June 20. June 27, the regiment was ordered to Camp Look- out, near Colliersville, Tenn., where the men did heavy duty, being on picket alternate days for about two months. The only brush with the enemy occurred at that place in August. A squad of guerrillas captured two pickets, and a detachment was sent out to rescue them, if possible. In the skirmish that followed. four of our men were wounded. September 1, the Forty-sixth re- turned to Memphis, and on the 10th of the same month started homeward, reaching Davenport on the 16th. The regiment was mustered ont and paid off on the 23d.

FIRST CAVALRY.
The First Cavalry was recruited during the Summer of 1861. Its services began during the following Winter. Its first action was at Silver Creek, Mo., where the rebel camp was attacked and routed. In February, 1862, a detachment from the First helped surprise and capture Gen. Price at Warsaw. Another detachment had a brush with guerillas near Montevallo in the following April. During the next few months, the regiment had skirmishes with the rebels near Clinton, Big Creek, Clear Creek and Newtonia. December 7th, the first and third battalions participated in the battle at Prairie Grove. That month the command assisted at the capture of Van Buren, where a number of steamboats, several hundred prisoners and a large amount of stores fell into the hands of our forces. April 26, 1863, the most of the regiment was con- cerned in a night attack upon a portion of Marmaduke's forces, breaking up the camp and inflicting heavy loss. August 26 and 27, the regiment did gallant service at White River. From September 10 until the following January, the First was stationed at Little Rock. April 24, 1864, the command repulsed a charge of the enemy at Mono River, and had a share in the battle at Jenkins' Ferry on the 30th. The regiment continued doing scout service until January, 1865, when they were sent to Dar- danelle, and had a brush with Col. Cooper, driving him off the field. They went thence to Pine Bluff, and to Mem- phis. From this place they made two incursions into Mississippi. After the war closed, much to thedisappoint- ment of the men, the regiment was ordered to Texas under Custer. On the route two or three of the regiment committed some depredatious on the inhabitants, contrary to specefic orders from Gen. Custer, who was in command. A few of the men were detected and ordered to be flogged. This order created much bitterness of feeling toward Custer, which had hardty disappeared when he met tragic death on the plains.
