command was a good one. From Liberty the regiment proceeded to Wy- andott, Kansas. From thence, on the 18th of October, the regiment pro- ceeded by rail to Quincy, Illinois, where they remained in camp until November 9, a ball being there given by the citizens in honor of the com- mand.
Thence by river the regiment proceeded to Benton Barracks, near St. Louis. December 26 the regiment was distributed in squads along the line of the North Missouri railroad, for the purpose of guarding the track. Thus employed, they spent the winter. Recalled to St. Louis early in March, the command was soon on a steamer embarked to join the forces of General Grant, in Tennessee. Disembarking at Pittsburg Landing, here our regi- ment remained until the surprise of April 6. In the battle of Shiloh the Third regiment distinguished itself by its bravery and desperate fighting. The loss of most of its line officers in killed and wounded attests its activity in the fight. In carrying a bridge at Matamora, in September, in a few minutes it lost sixty officers and men out of three hundred engaged. On the 17th of May the regiment embarked on the steamer Crescent City, for Vicksburg. This steamer was in advance of a fleet bearing re-enforcements to Grant. She was fired into by a considerable number of rebels, but the Third Iowa men sprang to their arms and drove the enemy from the shore. Fourteen men of the regiment were wounded. May 25th it took its place among those besieging Vicksburg, and during the entire siege, and in several engagements, maintained its former reputation for valor. In the campaign
against Joe Johnson the Third bore a more conspicuous part of gallantry and suffering than any other command from Iowa. Its conduct in the sec- ond siege of Jackson was equally heroic. In December it returned to Vicksburg; took part in the Meridian raid; and after the return to Vicks- burg again, the veterans were furlonghed. The non-veterans under com- mand of Lieutenant-colonel Tullis, of Mahaska, proceeded to assist in the Red River campaign. The two portions were never re-united, the non- veterans being mustered out after their campaign under Banks. The few returning veterans were consolidated into a battalion of three companies, but in the battle of Atlanta literally fought itself out of existence. In this battle, their color-bearer being slain, "still the mass stood there, madly fight- ing for defense. Their numbers fast decreasing by death their hopes be- gan to fail, and as they surrendered themselves to the enemy they tore the emblems of our nationality and regimental designation into pieces and into shreds, which, concealed, they proudly brought back to us, untouched and unsoiled by impious and traitorons hands. "
The few remaining members of the organization consolidated with the Second Iowa Infantry, taking part with Sherman in his campaigns to the close of the war.

SEVENTHI INFANTRY.
This regiment was sworn into the service at Burlington, in July, 1861, just after the battle of Bull Run. Mahaska's contribution to the 7th Infantry was Co. C, with rank and file of one hundred men, from which several were promoted to regimental offices, and to which numerous recruits were subsequently added. At the time of enlistment troops were sadly needed, and the regiment was hurried to St. Louis, where it was armed and immediately transported to Ironton, about one hundred miles south from St. Louis, where the regiment first drilled in the manual of arms. Thence marching to Jackson, thence to Cape Girardeau, thence by steamer to Cairo, it encamped for a fortnight on the opposite side of the river; then the com- mand proceeded to Camp Crittenden, thence to Fort Jefferson, thence by way of Bird's Point to Norfolk. Here Sergeant Elliott W. Rice was com- missioned Major of the regiment. Rettuning to Cairo, the men were drilled several hours daily, until summoned in November to take part in the battle of Belmont. In this engagement, November 7, 1861, the conduct of the 7th Regiment was heroic. Col. Dougherty says the regiment " throughout the battle fought like veterans, dealing death to rebels wherever they encountered them. Iowa may well feel proud of her sons who fought at Belmont." General Grant says " the regiment behaved with great gal- lantry, and suffered more severely than any other of the troops."
After the battle the troops returned to Bird's Point, and thence to Benton Barracks, where they remained two months, and then proceeded against Ft. Henry, which was soon captured and taken possession of by the troops. Feb. 12 they joined the column marching upon Ft. Donelson, and in the siege and assault of this stronghold, the 7th Regiment bore a conspicuous part. Enjoying the comfortable quarters of the surrendered fort for about a month, it proceeded thence to Pittsburg Landing, where it shared the glory belonging to the "Iowa Brigade," in the battle of Shiloh. Engaging in the siege of Corinth, and the pursuit of the rebels which followed, it enjoyed the leisure of a beautiful encampment about two miles southeast of the last named city until September 15, when the regiment was ordered to Iuka. The 7th was not engaged in that battle, fought on the 19th, but were used for strategic purposes by General Grant. The command soon returned to Corinth, where it remained two weeks longer. In the battle of Corinth on the 3d and 4th of October, the 7th Regiment was in the thickest of the combat, and under heavy fire during most of the engagement. The loss amounted to about one-third the men engaged. The winter was quietly spent in the Corinthian encampment. The year 1863 was employed in the irksome and inglorious duties of guarding the frontier, and in an encamp- ment at Pulaski. In December opportunity was granted those who had

been in the service two years to re-enlist, and to those who thus became veterans, according to the rules of the War Department, a furlough was granted. In April the regiment engaged in the not-to-be-forgotten cam- paign against Atlanta. The most severe engagement participated in by the 7th Regiment was at Oostanaula river, where with an enthusiasm almost blameworthy, the troops threw themselves against and ronted the column of the enemy. The loss in killed and wounded was sixty. Before taking part in the promenade with "Sherman to the Sea," the privilege of Iowa citizens was granted the boys, and the result was 320 votes for Lincoln and two for McClellan. From Rome to Savannah, from Savannah four hundred and eighty miles to Goldsboro, through dismal swamps, through hardship, labor and storm, these men marched patiently and without a murmur, and with perhaps the loss of a single man, taken prisoner. The end of the war found the regiment at Goldsboro. They proceeded by way of Raleigh to Washington City, participated in the grand review, were transported to Louisville, where the gallant survivors of the great conflict mustered out July 12, 1865. The total casualties of the regiment were 559.
