EIGHTEENTH INFANTRY.
The Eighteenth infantry regiment was organized under the call of July 4, 1862, for 300,000 men. It was mustered into the United States service August 6, 1862, with a rank and file of 860 men, John Edwards, colonel. On the 11th of August it started for the field. While it has not the prom- inent record of some Iowa regiments, it was none the less efficient in ser- vice, brave in action, prompt in duty. That it is not so notable is because there is less known of it. From the time it whipped and cleaned out the braggart Marmaduke at Springfield, Missouri, January 8, 1862, who at- tacked with at least 1870 men, while the Eighteenth had only 500 men, on

to the fight with Price, April 30, 1864, its conduct was such as to elicit high commendation from division commanders. It had the reputation of get- ting out of difficulties through smaller chances than few would have dared attempted. At Poison Spring was a notable instance. The regiment got completely isolated and hemmed in on all sides by the enemy. It flocked together and wormed itself out, fighting rod by rod, scattering the enemy by charges, when it would re-form and occupy the vacuum, and thus cut its way out and returned to Camden. In May, 1864, it returned to Fort Smith, Arkansas, having marched 730 miles over mountains, through swamps, subsisting on raw corn, wading days and nights through mud and water. At Fort Smith it remained during the summer and fall of 1864, making in the meantime several long and brilliant expeditions. February 26, 1865, four companies were sent to Van Buren, Arkansas, for garrison duty, until July 6, when the regiment was ordered to Little Rock for mus- ter out. July 21 it started for Davenport, where, August 5, the men were discharged, having served three years and two days. The regiment marched 4,160 miles. Of the original number of the regiment but four hundred returned for muster ont. Of the original officers but eight returned.

THIRTY-THIRD INFANTRY.
This regiment was organized by Gen. S. A. Rice, Keokuk county: Keo- kuk connty furnished three companies to this regiment. It was organized in September, 1862, and mustered in October 1st, with nine hundred and eighty men. It left for the field, November 20th, for St. Lonis; thence, December 21st, for Columbus, Kentucky, arriving on the 24th, where it was immediately engaged in building earthworks, the men without shelter, sleeping on the bare ground in the mud and rain. January 3, 1863, it re-

turned to Columbus, the enemy failing to attack, as expected. January 8th it embarked for Helena, Arkansas, arriving on the 13th, where several expeditions were made.
In April, Colonel Rice was appointed to a brigade, and Lieutenant-Col- onel Mackey became colonel. It was reported Colonel Hood had declared he would take his dinner, July 4th, in Helena. The regiment at once pre- pared to give him a hearty reception, and at two o'clock in the morning were called out to receive him. The contest lasted until eleven o'clock, when Hood was driven back toward Little Rock, and the Thirty-third re- mained masters of the position, having acquitted itself bravely. It had five hundred men engaged, the enemy over two thousand. The Thirty-third captured as many prisoners as it had in action. September 10th the enemy were followed, and Little Rock captured. Here the regiment built log bar- racks and remained until March, 1864, when it started on the southwestern Arkansas expedition. From the 10th to the 13th skirmishing and artillery fighting was had on Prairie d'Anne, in Hempstead county, Arkansas. On the 2d of April, General Steele decided to march on Camden with his di- vision, which became known to the enemy, and the race was a lively one. Several engagements were had, notably at Elkin's Ford, April 4th, Prairie d'Anne, April 10th and Jenkin's Ferry, April 30th. The latter was the great battle of the expedition. The regiment, with the division had reached Saline river, on its return to Little Rock, on the evening before. The ememy were in force in the rear, while in front was a swollen river and no bridges. The battle began in the morning and lasted until near noon, when the enemy retired. It was during the evening's last charge that Colonel Rice was wounded in the foot, from the effects of which he died August 6th following.
The Thirty-third entered Camden on the evening of the 15th of April, where for five days there were no rations, the men subsisting on four ears of corn per day, which they ground in hand mills and made into cakes. At the battle of Elkin's Ford, or Jenkin's Ferry, Colonel Mackey was wounded severely in the arm. The loss of the regiment was severe, being one hundred and twenty-three. The regiment arrived at Little Rock May 3d, where it remained on garrison duty during the year. February 14, 1864, it started for New Orleans, thence to Navy Cove, Alabama, where it joined an expedition against Mobile, which was successful. Thence it moved to Whistler's Station and McIntosh's Bluff, Alabama, April, 1865, where it remained until June; thence to Brazos Island, Texas; thence up the Rio Grande to Bagdad; thence to New Orleans, where, July 17, 1865, it was mustered ont, except the three years' recruits, who were transferred to the Thirty-fourth regiment, an unusual act, and which received the firm protest of Colonel Mackey.
The casualities of the regiment were:
.
Killed in action 26
Died of wounds and disease 236
Discharged for various causes 164
Wounded . 166
Taken prisoners 73
Transferred to other regiments 27
