FORTIETH INFANTRY.
This regiment was mustered into service, at Iowa City, November 15, 1862, and immediately moved to Columbus, Kentucky, arriving on the 18th, where it remained during the winter, until March 3, 1863, when it moved to Paducah. May 31, by order ef General Grant, the regiment was ordered to Vicksburg. It reached Sartatia, on the Yazoo river, June 4, and during the siege of Vicksburg it was stationed in the vicinity of Haine's Bluffs. It did not meet the enemy in battle, but it encountered a more deadly foe in the disease-laden waters of Yazoo river. Its fifty days service there was the worst in all its history. It next moved to Helena, arriving there July 26, and after a short rest, joined General Steele's for- ces against Little Rock. Reduced by malarial disease as was the regement, this march told fearfully on their weakened constitutions; and of the six hundred men who started, only two hundred and fifty reported for duty on the morning of the entry into Little Rock. The regiment remained at Little Rock until the spring of 1864, when it moved with Steele's forces on the Camden expedition, and in the great battle of the campaign, at Jenkin's Ferry, the regiment distinguished itself, though for some reason it was divided, and only companies H, E, K and G were engaged, and for four hours without relief, in the hottest of the fight, they held their ground and covered themselves with renown. They remembered the little speech made to them in the morning by Colonel J. A. Garrett, typical of the man, and his confidence in the men. Said he :
" Boys ! we will probably have a little fight. Remember your own good name, and the fair fame of the glorious young State which sent you to the field. Don't tarnish it. Do you see that flag ? Follow and defend it ! Don't shoot at the sky; there are no rebels up there. That climate does not suit them. Aim low, and send them where they belong. That's all."
The regiment remained at Little Rock until the following February, when, in response to a request of Brigadier-General Bussey to the war de- partment to send him a first-rate regiment, the Fortieth was ordered to Ft. Smith, as what he wanted. It was subsequently sent to Ft. Gibson, where it remained until mustered out, August 2, 1865.
The casualties were : killed, 19; died, 173; discharged for disease, 140; total, 332 enlisted men. Of officers : 3 killed; 3 dismissed; 29 resigned; total, 35.

FORTY-FOURTH INFANTRY.
(ONE HUNDRED DAYS.)
This regiment was organized under proclamation of the president, April 21, 1864, calling for one hundred thousand men to serve for one hundred days, in fortifications, or wherever their services might be required. This was for the purpose of relieving the veteran troops from such duty, that they might be sent forward for more effective service. Under proclamation of the governor, four days later, the valient people of the State responded promptly to fill the quota of ten thousand demanded of them, although far ahead of all requisitions made by the government.
Keokuk county, although having furnished men largely in excess of her quota, responded promptly, and was represented in two regiments, the Forty-fourth, and forty-seventh. Although they were engaged in no battles they did effective service in closing up the war. The Forty-fourth was mustered in in June, 1864, and mustered out at Davenport, September 15, 1864.
The casualities were one; died of disease.

FIRST CAVALRY.
The First Cavalry Regiment raised, and tendered to the government, by joint resolution of the State legislature, at the extra session, was in the spring of 1861. It was accepted June 13, 1861, making it the oldest vol- unteer regiment in the service. It was ordered to Benton Barracks, St Lonis, October 15, 1861, and immediately after to the interior of the State, to look after guerrillas who infested that section. From November of that year, to the following March, the regiment was constantly on the move, and no regiment did greater service or covered more territory. So brilliant, quick and effective were their movements, the guerrillas soon gave them a wide berth wherever they went. In March, 1862, it was ordered to Sedalia, and for several months was divided into small detachments, scour- ing the country. July 9th the noted guerrilla chief, Quantrell, was met in Cass county, and after a severe, sharp and short contest, he took to the brush, from which he was quickly driven out. In August it returned to Sedalia, and was frequently sent out, at night, making long and rapid dashes. In December, at Prairie Grove, it showed its fighting qualities, under great disadvantages. December 27th, it started with the expedition of General Blunt, to Van Buren, Arkansas, and participated in its capture on the 28th, when it returned to Prairie Grove. The year 1863 was but a repetition of the first year. The presence of the regiment will be remem- bered at Huntsville, Dry Fork, Crooked Creek, Kingston, Yellville, Finley Fork, Mountain Grove, Pilot Knob and Jackson, the latter being the cele- brated midnight attack April 26, 1863. In June, 1863, it was supplied with new and improved equipment, and joined the Little Rock expedition. Up to that date, scarcely two men were equipped alike, but each had what he could get, from a musket to a pocket pistol. At Bayou Metoe, it, as a whole regiment, first engaged the enemy, and, as usual, was in the front, and made a most successful charge. November and December was passed at Little Rock, doing post duty, meanwhile executing several bril- liant skirmishing movements, in one of which 260 men suddenly came upon the enemy, in strong position, near Princeton, 800 strong. With a dash, they were routed, and several captured. This closed the work of 1863, and early in 1864 they were entitled to a veteran furlough, but, waiv- ing the right, joined Steele's command, on the Camden expedition, which was, owing to the rigor of winter, a severe one. It engaged the enemy at Spoonville March 30; at Antoine, April 2, in a five miles' running fight; at Little Missonri River, April 4, routing Price's army. Arriving at Cam- den, it was accorded the honor of being first to enter. Here the regiment took its furlough, sold their horses, but retained their arms. They marched to that point, and by way of diversion, assisted in scooping the enemy at Jenkin's Ferry, April 30. The non-veterans remained at Little Rock. The veterans came home, arriving May 17. June 30 found them again on the war path, and at Benton Barracks they were again mounted, and. July 27, sent to Mexico and other points, operating against Price until Decem- ber, when they went to Little Rock, where they scouted until February 20, 1865, when they moved to Memphis, to operate against Forest's guerrillas, meeting them successfully at Tallahatchie. They remained at Memphis until the Confederacy collapsed, when they were ordered to join General Custer, at Alexandria, La., and started August 8. The regiment will prob- ably never forget this movement. They were shamefully treated.
528
KEOKUK COUNTY WAR RECORD.
General Custer, by his infamous general order No. 15, inherited the lasting hate of the entire regiment. The regiment arrived at Hempstead August 26, withont rations, barefooted and nearly naked, few blankets and no supplies. While there, says Lieutenant-Colonel McQueen, the regi -. ment put in its time vainly " endeavoring to obey a series of voluminous, threatening and conflicting orders, general and special, and individual in- structions, with as as little prospect of success as an attempt to make a rope of sand." General Custer treated the regiment as though they were a gang of thieves and desperadoes. Three days after arriving at Hemp- stead, five days' rations were given them, consisting of hogs' jowles, orna- mented with tusks five inches long, and hard bread, spiced with maggots. Those who had money, in violation of order 15, and at the risk of condign puishment, purchased food, while those who had no money robbed the half- starved horses of their small pittance of poor corn. To complete the infamy of order 15, all mail matter was ordered sent through the office of the Provost Marshal for that district, General Custer probably being assured that the men would resist snch treatment, and it is a significant fact that the regi- ment received no mail while there. But they found a way to the ear of the anthorities at Washington, and the infamous orders were revoked. Octo- ber 29 the regiment moved to Austin, where it was permitted to behave like soldiers and gentlemen. Here they remained while in the service, go- ing out in detachments, to preserve order, protect the courts, and aid in re- constructing the machinery of the Federal government. The regiment had during its service, four different colonels, Fitz Henry Warren, James Otis Gower, Daniel Anderson, William Thompson. It was mustered out Feb- ruary 15, 1866, at Austin, Texas, and disbanded at Davenport, March 13, having been five years in service, with the record of being equal in disci- pline and drill to the best "regulars."
The casualties of the regiment were: Among the officers, killed in ac- tion, 1; died, 3; discharged for disability, 1; wounded, 4; resigned, 34; dismissed, 3; total, 46. Among enlisted men, killed, 42; died, 212; dis- charged, 203; wounded, 84; missing, 2; total, 543.
