The presentation of colors to a company or regiment by its friends and neighbors had become of common occurrence, but this presentation, by the ladies of Boston, to a regiment in the wilds of Arkansas, a thousand miles distant and near the extreme Western frontier-and that, too, to men who were personally strangers to the donors-was an event as honorable to the boys of the Ninth as it was rare.

HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY.
Capt. Wright, of Company C, sent the following account to the Independ- ence Guardian :
CAMP OF THE NINTH IOWA, ?
HELENA, August 3, 1862.
To-day has been a prowl and glorious day for the lowa Ninth. At 2 o'clock this afternoon. we were called into line. not to fight, but to receive one of the finest stands of regimental colors in the army of the Southwest, presented us by the ladies of Boston, Mass.
The regimental fag is white silk on one side and crimson on the other. On the white side is beautifully in-eribed, in gilt letters, " Pea Ridge, Ark., March 7 and 8, 1862." In the center. held by two greyhounds, is the scroll with the words, " Iowa Greyhounds." This is over the eagle, which is in the center of the flag, with the Iowa coat of arms, all of which is encircled with a beautiful gold border. On the other side, handsomely embellished in gold letters, are the words, " From your countrywomen of Massachusetts," with the coat of arms of the oldl Bay State, and the words. " Pea Ridge ' again inscribed on the field under the coat of arms, with the same border. On the flag-staff is a fine gold-bronzel eagle, with a splendid goll tassel in his mouth. The staff is so arranged that the tag can be detached by a spring and folded in a moment, making it very convenient, if you wish to foll it in a hurry.
The other is the national flag, with its blue fieldl and its broad stripes, one large star in the center of the field, encircled with thirty-four more in a gold ring or border, and the words " Pea Ridge, March i and 8, 1562," inside the circle-the flag-staff and tassel the same as the other.
* * *
Need I tell you that we were proud when those beautiful flags were unfurled to the breeze. to be carried forward to victory by the Iowa Ninth? If you could have seen those patriotic tears roll down the checks of our brave boys, while our noble Colonel, with a heart almost too full for utterance, was replying to the patriotic sentiment of the mothers and sisters of Massa- chusetts, you would join with me in saying the flag is in safe hands.
COPY OF THE ADDRESS OF BOSTON LADIES ON PRESENTATION OF FLAGS.
Our Countrymen-Soldiers of the Ninth Iowa Regiment :
We desire to present you with these, our national colors, as an evidence of our interest in yon as soldiers of the Union, and as a token of our grateful admiration for the valor and heroism displayed by you on the memorable field of Pea Ridge. =
We have anxiously looked for tilings of you. from those early September days when you were first a-sembledl at l'amp Union, to the coldl. dark days of the late winter ; and. although the order outeard was long delayed, yet, when it came, so readily did you obey it that we found it no easy task, even in our imagination, to keep up with the .' double-quick " of the " Iowa Grey- hounds " The memory of the patient devotion with which you have unfalteringly borne toils, fatigues, hunger and privation, and the recollection of your brave and gallant deeds on the 7th and 8th of March, 1862, will long be treasured in our hearts : and, although we think with sor- row of the sad price of such a victory, and the unbi blen tears must flow at the thought of the brave hearts now stilled forever, yet we feel a pride in the consciousness thai her noble sons feel no sacrifice too great for their and our beloved country.
God bless the Union ! God bless you and all soldiers of the Union armies! is the fervent prayer of your countrywomen in Massachusetts.
BOSTON, Ma-s., July 10, Is62.
William Vanderver, Colonel of the regiment, made reply, addressing the soldiers of his command in a brief but pathetic and patriotic style. .
ANOTHER OFFERING FROM JONES COUNTY.
Thursday, August 14, 1862, was another day of unusual interest to Mon- ticello and to the citizens of Jones County.
On the day mentioned. the recruits enlisted under Farwell and Jones, of Mon- ticello, and Blodgett of Bowen's Prairie, came swarming in from Monticello, Bow- en's Prairie, Scotch Grove, Wayne. Cass. Castle Grove and other towns, and proceeded across the river at Monticello, to Clark's Grove, where prep- arations had been made to receive them. They were attended by the Anamosa Band, several bands of martial music and a crowd of citizens numbering nearly two thousand.
.
371
HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY.
Here the crowd listened to speeches from Rev. Mr. Dimmitt, Prof. Hudson and many others. Dinner was served and a good time was had, and a large number added to the enlistment-about forty enrolling themselves and becon- ing soldiers for the Union. Patriotie feeling ran high and could not endure expressions of rebel sympathy. A few citizens. who would have been at home in a more southern latitude. became very obnoxious by their disloyal criticisms. Some of these were "interviewed " this day by a concourse of incensed Union- ists, and were compelled. by hempen persuasion, to take the "Outh of Alleyi- ance." One prominent offender escaped by aid of a fleet horse and gathering darkness; a few were taken from their beds at midnight, but safely returned, after being impressively sworn to loyalty and Unionism. The soldiers would have committed violence, had they not been restrained by their newly elected officers.
An election was held and resulted in the choice of the following officers : Captain, S. S. Farwell, of Monticello ; First Lieutenant. Rev. F. Amos, of Seoteli Grove; Second Lieutenant, James G. Dawson, of Wayne; Orderly. F. H. Blodgett, of Bowen's Prairie.
THE DRAFT.
Notwithstanding the unbounded enthusiasm and the large number of volun- teers, it became necessary to resort to foreible enlistments in Jones County.
The following table shows how many men each township had failed to raise in order to fill its quota up to December 12, 1862, and how many had been raised in excess of quota ; also the number of men required to be raised in each township by draft or volunteer enlistment by the 1st of January, 1863:

THE FLAG OF THE NINTH IOWA.
After the Vicksburg campaign, the flag presented to the regiment by the Massachusetts ladies having become tattered and torn in the bloody strife. was returned to its donors as evidence that it had faithfully served its purpose.

HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY.
While the Ninth was on its way home to enjoy a brief furlough, as re-enlisted veterans, another flag reached them from the ladies of the old Bay State. On this flag were the following inscriptions :
"Ninth Iowa Volunteers-1863-from Massachusetts." " Pea Ridge, March 7 and 8, 1862." "Chickasaw Bayou, Dee. 29, 1863." " Arkansas Post. January 11, 1863." "Jackson, May 14, 1863." "Vicksburg, May 19 and 22, and July 4, 1863.".
The excitement growing out of the prospect of a draft was such that vol- unteer enlistments continued to such an extent that no draft was had until about the 1st of November, 1864. The number drafted was not large and those who were thus made soldiers, proved themselves brave and valiant men. It is proper to state, also, that it was afterward ascertained that the quota of the State was full at the time the draft was ordered, and therefore, ought not to have been made.
WASHINGTON'S BIRTHDAY AT ANAMOSA, 1864.
The 22d of February, 1864, was made the occasion of a festival in honor of the veteran soldiers who were at home at the time, on a short furlough. The morning opened with beautiful weather and so it continued through the entire day, the only drawback being mud to the depth of one to three inches. where the snow had disappeared. In the afternoon the people and soldiers came in on foot, on horseback and in wagons. At 5 o'clock, the soldiers came into Odd Fellows' Hall, under charge of their officers, and an address of wel- come to the Iowa Veterans was made by W. G. Hammond, and the response by Capt. McKean, of Company D, of the Ninth.
A sumptuous supper was then served at City Hall, and at least six hundred persons partook of the repast. Still there was enough and to spare, and bas- ketfuls were gathered up and distributed to widows and others, with whom fortune had dealt more or less unkindly.
After supper, the hall of the Odd Fellows was again full. The following were the toasts on the occasion :
The Day we Celebrate.
Response by C. R. Scott.
The Iowa Ninth-The heroes of Pea Ridge, Chickasaw Bayou, Arkansas Post, Jackson, Vieksburg, Lookout Mountain and Missionary Ridge.
Response by cheers and band.
Iowa-Many daughters have done virtuously, but thou hast excelled them all.
Response by G. W. Field.
The Patriotic Dead-Green be their graves, sweet their rest and hallowed their memory.
Response by the choir.
The American Union-What God hath joined together, let no rebel put asunder.
Response by Judge MeCarn, and band.
The Union Army-May its distinguishing characteristics be fortitude in the hour of disaster, courage in the hour of danger and merey in the hour of victory.
Response by John MeKean.
The American Eagle.
Response by the choir.

HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY.
Abraham Lincoln-Like Washington, first in war, first in peace, and first in the hearts of his countrymen.
Response by Rev. O. W. Merrill.
The following volunteer toast was handed in by John Peet :
The American Eagle-May she conquer all her foes and establish a per- manent resting-place in the center of our Union, with her wings extending from the Atlantic to the Pacific, holding the stars and stripes in one of her talons and the sword of justice in the other, and in her beak the Declaration of Independence, as a surety to the oppressed of all nations that here they can find protection ; and may her tail be expanded over some Northern cavern where rebel sympathizers and Tories may hide from the sight of historians, that our history may not be tarnished by a record of their infamy.
Altogether, the day passed and terminated happily to all coneerned.
THE FOURTEENTH IOWA INFANTRY.
The Fourteenth Iowa Volunteer Infantry was organized by anthority of the War Department, under a call for 300,000 troops for three years, and mustered into service on the 6th of November, 1961.
Previous to the completion of the muster of the regiment, three companies, A, B and C. were detached and sent on service to Fort Randall, Dakota Terri- tory, where they remained until the fall of 1862, when authority gave organiza- tion to three new companies in lieu of those detached. On the 27th and 28th of November, 1861, the command-seven companies-embarked for Benton Bar- racks, and remained in this camp of instruction until the 5th of February, 1862, when they again embarked for Fort Henry, Tenn., and arrived there on the Sth. On the 12th, they took up line of march for Fort Donelson, Tenn., and were in the engagement on the left of the army. daily, the 13th. 14th and 15th. Remained at Fort Donelson until the 7th of March, and embarked for Pittsburg Landing, and arrived there on the 18th inst. On the 6th of April. the army was attacked, and the Fourteenth moved out in position on the left of the Fourth Brigade, Second Division, Army of the Tennessee. The regiment was engaged from 7 o'clock A. M., until 5:40 P. M., when the command was sur- rendered by Brig. Gen. Prentiss to the enemy as prisoners of war. and were held as such until the 12th day of October, 1862, when they were released on parole, sent to Benton Barracks for re-organization, and declared exchanged November 19, 1862. On the 31st of March, 1862. two new companies, A and B, joined the regiment. Left Benton Barraeks April 10, 1863; embarked on board of transports for Cairo, Ill., where they remained until June 21, during which time they were joined by Company C. a new company, when they embarked for Columbus. Ky. On the 22d of January, 1>64. the regiment moved on board a transport for Vicksburg, Miss., where it was assigned to the Second Brigade, Third Division, Sixteenth Army Corps. Was on the expedition that went from Vicksburg to Meridian, Miss., in the month of February, 1864, under command of Brig. Gen. Maj. Sherman, and on the expedition up Red River, Louisiana, in the months of March, April and May, under command of Maj. Gen. Banks. Was in the battle of Fort De Russey. March 14, and the battle of Pleasant Hill, La., April 9, 1864, and battle of Yellow Bayon, Louisiana, May 18, 1864.

The Fourteenth Regiment was largely made up of Jones County boys, and commanded by Col. W. T. Shaw, of Anamosa.
RE-UNION AT MONTICELLO, AUGUST 14, 1865.
Monday, the 14th of August, 1865, was made memorable to the citizens of Jones County by reason of the Soldier's Re-union on that day, at Monticello. The exercises took place in the grove north of the river, and on the identical spot where three years before Company HI. of the Thirty-first Iowa, was organized. Company II displayed a trophy, as a memento of the rebellion, a large flag, cap- tnred in Columbia, S. C., on the 17th of February, 1865, when the company entered that city.
The arms and aecouterments of Capt. Alderman's Company, brought in boxes on the train, having arrived on the ground, the soldiers of Company H and some others were soon engaged in arraying themselves. The "boys in blue " were here entirely at home. They chatted, laughed and joked during the process, and worked with a perfect abandon and as though they were still in the woods of Alabama and Georgia. This work accomplished. the drums, in another part of the grove, beat the roll-call, and the soldiers streamed along through the crowd, closely followed by the lighter legs of the children, and these by the grown people. Two lines of soldiers were at once in position. Maj. Farwell, Capt. Burdick and Capt. MeKean were the officers in command. The soldiers, about eighty in number, went through guard mounting and inspection, and were intently watehed by the spectators ; this over, the boys were drilled for a time, greatly to the admiration and pleasure of many spectators. The drill over, the boys marched to the old position in front of the benehes, and, after some addi- tional exercises, stacked arms. The speaking was then commenced. W. H. Walworth was President of the day, who offered introductory remarks.
Prayer by Rev. Mr. Kimball.
Music by the band.
Welcome address by W. II. Walworth.
Response by Lieut. Amos. Music by the Monticello Glee Club.
Address by Capt. M. P. Smith, of Company C. Thirty-first Iowa.
Music by Anamosa Brass Band.
Picnic dinner.
AFTERNOON.
Martial music.
Volunteer toasts and responses :
" Resolved. That our late war was only the supplement to our Revolution with England, and has only completed the work of establishing the inalienable rights of humanity and justice between man and his fellow-man."
Responded to by Prof. J. Nolan, of Unscade.
"Jeff Davis -- Occupying an elevated position in the South, may he occupy a still more elevated position in the North."
Responded to by Rev. Mr. Buttolph.
" What the soldiers fought for, may we all remember."
J. b. Chamary.

HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY.
Response by Capt. O. Burke, Company B, Fourteenth Iowa Veteran Vol- unteers.
Rev. Mr. Miller, of Cascade, Prof. Allen, of Hopkinton, and Elder Kay and Lieut. Hill, of Cascade, also spoke with good effect. Mr. A. Gilbert spoke feelingly. He had lost two sons in the war, one being shot dead, and the other dying in a rebel prison. The addressess, one and all, were appropriate and fitting to the time and the occasion.
A general rejoicing was had that the war was ended and peace restored.
COL. WILLIAM T. SHAW, OF ANAMOSA.
The name of this gentleman is so identified with the history of Jones County, particularly its military history, that a brief biographical sketch of that distinguished soldier and citizen seems altogether apropos.
Col. William Tuckerman Shaw was born September 22. 1822, at Steuben. Washington County, Me. He was the son of Col. William N. Shaw and Nancy Stevens, his wife, of the above place, and, after receiving his education in the Maine Wesleyan Seminary, went to Kentucky as a teacher; but the war with Mexico breaking out, he enlisted in the Second Kentucky Infantry Regiment, Col. McKee, commander. He served to the close of the war, par- ticipating in the memorable battle of Buena Vista, and was in the thickest of the fight on the hill-slope and ravine where it raged with greatest fury. After the declaration of peace, he aided in clearing our Southwestern borders of hostile Indians who were annoying the border settlers.
Having obtained a reputation for noble daring, he was chosen, in 1849, as the leader of the first party which crossed the Plains to California, leaving Fort Smith, Ark., via Santa Fe. The party consisted of thirty-six men, from New York, Kentucky, Louisiana and Arkansas.
After returning, he made another trip, starting from Council Bluffs, and at this time had but a single associate, but made the journey in safety.
In 1853, he came into Jones County and settled at Anamosa, where he still resides.
At the outbreak of the rebellion in 1861, he was among the first in Jones County to buckle on the sword to fight for the Union. On the 24th of Octo- ber of that year, he was elected Colonel of the Fourteenth Iowa Infantry Regiment, which owed its organization very largely to his instrumentalities. A history of the regiment is given elsewhere.
Col. Shaw distinguished himself in every engagement in which his com- mand took part, as an able and efficient commander. He was advanced to the command of the Second Brigade, Third Division, Sixteenth Army Corps, and it is historic that it was owing to his indomitable courage and military skill that the army of Gen. Banks was saved from utter defeat and capture in the Red River expedition. It was on this memorable occasion that Col. Shaw acquired the title of ". Grim Fighting Old Shaw."
After the Red River expedition, his command was sent to assist in driving the rebel Gen. Price out of Missouri, and was successful in so doing.
His term of service having expired, he was relieved by the following order :
HEADQUARTERS RART WING SIXTEENTH ARMY CORPS, HARRISONVILLE, Mo., October 20, 1804. Special Order N). 132.
1. Col. W. T. Shaw, Fourteenth Iowa Infantry Volunteers, is relieved from command of the Third Division, Sixteenth Army Corps, andl will forthwith rejoin his regiment at Davenport, lowa. The Quartermaster will furnish transportation for himself and authorized servants.

378
HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY.
II. In relieving Col. Shaw from the command of the Third Division, prior to his being mustered out, it is but an act of justice to an energetic, thorough and competent officer to may that for the last fifteen months he has been in this command, as commanding a post, brigade and division, and in every position has performed the incumbent duties faithfully and well, with an ability that few cau equal, with courage, patriotism and skill above question. The service loses an excellent officer when he is mustered out. By order of
J. HOUGH, A. A. G.
MAJ. GEN. A. J. SMITH.
As Col. Shaw was about to part with his compatriots in arms, the officers of his command presented him with a costly sword and scabbard-one of the most beautiful and tasteful weapons ever made. He returned to his home at Anamosa, Iowa, and has ever since been engaged in farming, banking, rail- roading and real-estate business. Many of the public enterprises of Jones County are largely the result of the energy, skill and perseverance of Col. Shaw.
SOLDIER'S MEMENTO-LEFT-HAND WRITING.
In the latter part of the year 1867, W. O. Bourne, editor of the Soldiers' Friend, New York, and others. offered premiums for the best specimens of left- hand miting by soldiers who had lost their right arms in the war of the rebel- lion. The premiums were awarded in October of that year. There were ten premiums of $50 each, and each premium being named after some distinguished general or admiral, thus: Grant Premium, etc. Each soldier obtaining a premium was rewarded also by an autograph letter from the officer from whom the premium was named. The only Iowa soldier who received a premium of this nature is Morgan Bumgardner, Company B, Ninth Iowa Volunteer Infantry, and a resident of Jones County. He was awarded the Sheridan Premium.
The following is the letter of Gen. Sheridan :
FIFTH AVENUE HOTEL, October 3, 1867. To Morgan Bumgardner, Company B. Vinth Iowa Volunteer Infantry :
It is gratifying to me to inform you that the manuscript prepared by you has been selected for the Sheridan Premium, offered by William Oland Bourne, editor of the Soldiers' Friend, New York.
I am happy thus to recognize the success of a sollier who has lost his right arm for his country. In the battle of life before you. remember that the true hero may sometimes suffer disaster and disappointment, but he will never surrender his virtue or his honor.
Cordially wishing you success and reward in life. I am yours, etc.,
P. H. SHERIDAN, Major General U. S. A.
