ALLAMAKEE IN THE CIVIL WAR (pg 501-527)
The following roster of Allamakee county volunteers in the War of the Rebellion is compiled from the roster and record of Iowa soldiers published by the state in 1910, with such corrections and additions as are warranted by other documents and local records, and is probably as complete as can now be made. The total number of men furnished by the county was about eight hundred, or some two hundred more than our quote. The county records show the action taken by the board of supervisors at various times to provide bounties for recruits, but they need not be given here. The response to the call of our country was so hearty that it did not become necessary to resort to a draft.

THIRD INFANTRY
The Third Regiment, Iowa Volunteer Infantry, was mustered into the United States service at Keokuk, Iowa, June 8 and 10, 1861, and immediately went into active campaigning in Missouri, participating in several important engagements. It did its full share in the two days’ battle at Shiloh, and in the sieges of Corinth, Vicksburg, and Jackson, where it suffered disastrous loss. It was also engaged in the Atlanta campaign, and subsequently the few survivors were consolidated with the Second Regiment and marched with Sherman to the sea. They were mustered out July 12, 1865, at Louisville, Kentucky. But five men of the regiment were credited to Allamakee county; all in Company “C”:

FIFTH INFANTRY
The companies assigned to this regiment were ordered into quarters at Burlington, Iowa, by Governor Kirkwood, in June, 1861, and were mustered into service July 15, 1861, by Lieut. Alexander Chambers, U. S. A. The regiment was ordered into active service very soon after, and marched into Missouri to repel the rebel forces then threatening to invade Iowa. During the following year it performed most difficult and arduous service in that state, chiefly, where the conditions then existing were most deplorable. Its first important battle was at Iuka, Mississippi, where it lost nearly fifty per cent of the number engaged, in killed and wounded, September 19, 1862. Besides Iuka it participated in the battles of Corinth, Jackson, Champion Hill, Port Gibson, Raymond, Black River Bridge, Missionary Ridge, and sieges of New Madrid, Corinth and Vicksburg. And numerous minor affairs. At the expiration of its three years term of service it was mustered out July 30, 1864, at Chattanooga, Tennessee, and those re-enlisting as veterans were transferred to the Fifth Iowa Cavalry.

TWELFTH INFANTRY
The Twelfth Regiment of Iowa Volunteer Infantry was mustered into the service in October and November, 1861, by Capt. E. C. Washington of the United States Army, at Camp Union, Dubuque, under the proclamation of President Lincoln of July 23, 1861. The total enrollment at muster in was 981, rank and file. At the very beginning of their army life the men of this regiment endured needless privations and insufficient shelter in this camp of instruction, that November being very inclement and cold. On Thanksgiving day, but three days after the last company was mustered in, the regiment started by rail for St. Louis, Missouri, where it went into quarters at Benton Barracks, remaining there two months, and with all troops gathered there suffered greatly from sickness and death.

January 27, 1862, the regiment started south by rail, to Cairo, and thence by boat to Paducah, Kentucky, where it first camped in the field, January 31st. It enjoyed camp but five days, when it was re-embarked and proceeded to Fort Henry, after the evacuation of which by the enemy it marched across to assist in the investment of Fort Donelson and the first great victory of the war. Here (February 13th and 15th) it received its baptism of fire, the loss being two killed (one of whom was John J. Stillman of Co. B, the first man killed in action from this county), and thirty-four wounded.

Leaving Fort Donelson March 12th the regiment proceeded by land and boat to Pittsburg Landing, on the Tennessee, where it arrived on the 21st and was assigned to a brigade commanded by Col. J. M. Tuttle of the Second Iowa, the First Brigade of the Second Division, commanded by Gen. W. H. L. Wallace, and which was destined to save the day for the Union army in the bloody conflict soon to follow. It is impossible to give a detailed account of Shiloh; but history records the fact that the Twelfth occupied a central position in the Union line, at a point the enemy designated as the “hornets’ nest,” and from the partial shelter of the sunken road during that first day assisted in repulsing no less than twelve distinct charges by the Confederate forces concentrated upon that point. And not until they had become isolated by the forced retirement of the line on either side, did the 8th, 12th, and 14th Iowa attempt to leave the field, alas, too late to cut their way through the line of the enemy now in their rear; and about 6 o’clock P. M., they threw down their arms. The loss of the Twelfth was: Killed, known 17; supposed (missing and never heard of). 4; wounded, 76 (19 mortally); taken prisoners, 419, of whom 65 died in rebel prisons. Among the wounded was their commander, Col. J. J. Woods, severely. Those who were captured mostly remained in prison over six months before they were paroled. Those who were not taken, including those who had been on furlough or detached service, the slightly wounded, and convalescents from hospital, of the 8th, 12th, and 14th, were soon after the battle consolidated into an organization known as the “Union Brigade,” numbering all told but 478 rank and file, when organized. Of this number only seventy-five, three commissioned officers and seventy-two enlisted men, were from the 12th. This detachment of the 12th was under the command of Lieut. D. B. Henderson, afterward Speaker of the National House of Representatives.

Of the wounded and left on the field the following were from Allamakee county: Orison F. Adams, Cornelius Denny, Wm. F. Maynard, and David W. Reed. The latter now the superintendent of the National Cemetery on that very field. Among the wounded and captured from Allamakee were: Charles King (died of wound, in prison), Robert Wampler, Henry Jones, and August Leue. Died of disease in prison: Lieut. L. H. Merrill, Sergt. Daniel Harbaugh, Corp. Frank E. Hancock, Madison J. Roe, John L. Bryant, Jens Hanson, Ole Hanson, Henry Kuck, Charles H. Noyes, Edwin R. Perry, Ira E. Peck; Simeon Peck, Knud Thorson, and Wm. M. White.

The Union Brigade rendered conspicuous service at the siege of Corinth in July, and at the battle of Corinth in October, 1862, the casualties of the 12th being thirty-nine, killed, wounded and missing, out of not exceeding eight men engaged. Four color-bearers were shot down, the fourth being Sergeant John D. Cole of Company B, but who recovered. He had been wounded at Donelson, and came from hospital to Pittsburg Landing just too late to find his company in the fray. He was promoted second lieutenant from date of the battle at Corinth, October 3rd.

About the first of April, 1863, all the survivors of the regiment were reassembled at Benton Barracks, St. Louis, under their old commander, Col. Joseph J. Woods. Lt. Col. S. R. Edgington, Major J. H. Stibbs, Surgeon S. W. Huff, Asst. Surgeon Myron Underwood. Co. B: Capt. W. C. Earle, Lieut. J. H. Borger and J. D. Cole. At the muster in or the regiment in ‘61 Company B was on the left; now Capt. Earle being the ranking captain the company occupied the extreme right, and retained this position until the muster out. In April the regiment reported to Gen. Grant before Vicksburg, and was in battle at Raymond, May 12; Jackson, May 14; Vicksburg assaults and siege May 18 to July 4; Jackson, July 10 to 16; Brandon, July 19; and Brownsville, Miss., Oct. 16,17, 1863. In 1864 as follows: White River, Ark., June 22; Coonewar, Mill., July 13; Tupelo, July 14,15; Nashville, Tenn., Dec. 15; and Brentwood Hills, Dec. 16. And in 1865, Spanish Fort, Ala., March 27 to April 9. Besides twelve skirmishes not included in above list.

On Dec. 25, 1863, a large majority of the men, about 330, re-enlisted as veterans, and were re-mustered Jan. 5, 1864. They were given a thirty days’ furlough from March 22, and on the 2d of May they were in camp again near Memphis. Meanwhile, the men who had not re-enlisted, and the recruits, about seventy men, were temporarily attached to the Thirty-fifth Iowa, and took part in the Red River campaign, including battles of Fort De-Russy, Henderson Hill, Pleasant Hill, Mansura, Yellow Bayou, Bayou De Glaize, and Old River Lake, or Lake Chicot, from March 14, 1864 to June 6, 1864.

The regiment performed garrison duty at Selma, Ala., during the summer of 1865, and in the latter part of September was assigned to the district of Talladega, until December 26, when it was ordered to Memphis, and was there mustered out on the 20th of January, 1866.

Without apology we here present extract from a diary kept by Corp. Frank E. Hancock of co. B, from Jan. 1st, 1862, through the campaigns of Donelson and Shiloh, and the trying experiences of six months confinement in rebeldom. To be sure, the conditions in these prison yards had not then reached the climax of horrors as later developed at Andersonville, but they were such as to try the endurance of brave men and test the strongest constitutions. Though containing but brief entries of the common daily events in the life of aa soldier, they indicate by their brevity a fearless facing of the dangers of battle as well as the still greater dangers of disease in camp; and a patient endurance of the long imprisonment, with its alternating hopes and disappointments. Thus the diary is a record of a number, rather than of one man, and as such it is of interest to the few of his comrades who still survive him, and to their children and children’s children; and to the young of to-day who have no personal recollections of the soul-stirring days of half a century agone it should be an inspiration to patriotism and good citizenship.

“Feb. 13-Were ordered to fall in soon after daylight. Had a skirmish with the rebels, lasted nearly all day. One man in Company A. Killed. Camped (in line of battle) down in about two inches of snow. Devilish cold night.

“Feb. 14-Lying on the hillside, advance guard of our brigade. Nothing of importance happened today as I hear of.

“Feb. 15-Some skirmishing between the enemy and our sharpshooters in morning. We hear heavy firing on our right. The second Iowa made a charge upon the entrenchments at noon. We were ordered to their support; saw considerable hard fighting. Poor Stillman fell here.

“Feb. 16-Were ordered to fall in and march on the fort. But soon news came of the surrender, and then such a hurrahing I never heard. We soon marched into the fort; troops came in from all sides.

“Feb. 17 to March 5-Quartered in the secesh shanties, sleep on the floor with only one blanket, weather cold and disagreeable, two inches of snow on ground March 5th. Much sickness and diarrhoea. Very dull, nothing doing but occasional drills. March 2, Ich., Dan and Hugh, got back from detail, having been up the Cumberland to Clarksville and Nashville.

“Mar. 6-In shanty at Fort Donelson, still. Received marching orders-two days rations.

“Mar. 23-Sunday. Our old chaplain has at last got back, and holds divine service the first time for two months. (Then follows two weeks of generally very warm weather, with daily drills or inspection, and an occasional game of ball. On the day after going into camp they ‘packed up blankets and overcoats to send home; instruments also.’ They were soon to have all the music they wanted, of another kind.)

“April 3-Thursday-Drilled three hours. Very ward day. Grand review of Second Division by General Grant.

“April 4-Drilled three hours. Wrote to mother. (This is an entry which occurs frequently, but is significant just at this time.) Another hot day. Our pickets had a skirmish tonight with the enemy; took a few prisoners.

“April 5, Saturday-Drilled one and a half hours. Cleaning up generally around camp. Quite warm.

“April 6, Sunday-Fighting all day. Had to surrender to the rebels as they outnumbered us six to one. Slept out in rain on the ground.

(On another page of the diary is the following more full account of this first day’s fight at Shiloh, written some days later.)

“At 8 o’clock on Sunday morning while preparing for inspection we heard the long roll beat by our drums. We knew the meaning of it and fell in quickly. Our brigade was formed and we marched to the place of firing (which we could hear distinctly at our camp) and took our position, which we held against all attacks made upon us. The Mississippi Tigers made a furious assault at one time, but we sent them back in a hurry, killing a great many and completely routing them. They threw their arms in every direction as they ran. In the afternoon there was sharp fighting on our left. Our troops kept them back in a good while, but finally being overpowered had to fall back, and we were ordered to their support, or rather take their place. We formed in line of battle and poured the fire into them hot and heavy, causing them to fall back. We should have whipped them beautifully if there had been troops to have taken the position we left; but regiments coming up in our rear and on our right we were compelled to surrender. We hated it as bad a as anybody could, but it had to be done. We threw our arms on the ground and were marched back about five miles from the battle field, passing hundreds of wounded men. About 9 o’clock we camped in an old corn field. It soon commenced to rain and we were completely wet through. The next morning we drew rations, one cracker and a half, and started for Corinth. Arrived there at 5 o’clock P. M., tired and hungry, were put into freight cars and ‘sent to bed’ without our suppers. Tuesday morning we got a very little hard bread and were sent on our journey. Arrived at Memphis about 5 or 6 o’clock P. M. Remained in cars until two o’clock of Wednesday morning, when we were taken out in a heavy rain and marched about a mile to some rooms (on the levee) in a four story brick building, when we yet remain. We had no dinner nor supper yesterday, and when hard bread, boiled ham and molasses came around this morning we pitched into it like hogs.

“April 9-Went aboard the cars again at five o’clock P. M. And started south.

“April 10-11-Traveling through Mississippi. Arrived at Jackson at daylight, 11th, and remained all day. In the night our car ran off the track, nobody hurt. Rained hard all night.

“April 12-Still on the cars. Our car seems to be unlucky. Today the boxes caught fire and he had to leave our car and get on top of the others. Rode in that manner into Mobile, at 11 o’clock P. M.. Very hot but pleasant day.

“April 13-Left the cars at four o’clock this morning and went aboard the steamer Jas. Battle. Started up the Mobile river about three o’clock P. M. Noticed two gunboats completed and another under way. They will not stand the banging.

“April 14-Going up the Alabama river; very pretty, and lots of large plantations and nice residences along the banks.

“April 15-Still going up river. At Selma our Captains left up. He hated to have our Captain go, very bad. Arrived at Montgomery soon after dark. Had some sweet potatoes and a little beef today.

“April 16-Were taken off the boat this morning, and after a great deal of fussing were marched to our place of confinement, a cotton house and yard. Crowds of citizens flocked to see us.

“April 17-19-Passing away the time as best we can. Some playing ball, some pitching quoits, others playing cards and checkers. Very warm. Nothing but hard bread and pork to eat. Rather poor grub for those that are worn out and nearly sick. We are all big enough to go barefoot nowadays. The boys will talk back to the guards or citizens when they talk mean.

“April 20-Sunday. Walking about some, but lying on my bund of hay most of the time. Heard the church bells calling the people to church, but concluded not to go out myself.

“April 21-Cold and rainy. Sitting by the fire whenever it did not rain so that we could not. Ich. Sent the letter away for Waukon. G. Bailey went to hospital.

“April 22-Boys at their old games of ball, marbles; euchre, dominoes, etc. Read a Richmond paper of the 18th inst. Find some rich news in regard to the North. Occasionally get a city paper, but the people are not allowed to sell them to us. Not having half enough to eat.

“April 24-Today we have more rations. Drew 20 lbs of fresh beef, and 20 lbs (light and corn) bread. Also a little rice and molasses. (For 20 men.) Everybody is at work making pipes of clay.

”April 25-Sold my penholder for one dollar of the Alabama, or Montgomery, scrip; so have a little
spending money.

“April 26 to 30-Rumors that New Orleans has surrendered, or is about to surrender, to our fleet. We have plenty of visitors every day. Some of them talk big, but you can bet they don’t make much off the Yankees. We have some good singers here which helps to pass away the time. If we could only know what was going on in America we would not care for the confinement so much.

“May 1-Lieut. Bliss of Michigan Second Battery was shot dead by one of the d-d cowardly guards while purchasing milk. Caused great excitement, amongst our men, and the guards were doubled.

“May 2-We commence again on our well, which we had dug about six feet deep a week ago. A boat load of prisoners, we suppose from Tuskaloosa, arrived last night. Am in hopes our Captain is among them.

“May3-We were mistaken in regard to the prisoners. They were from Mobile, and part of the lot that came from Memphis with us. They proceeded to Macon, Ga. Geo. Bailey returned from hospital.

“May 4, Sunday.-We have preaching in our prison today by Lt. Winslow of the 58th Illinois. Another Lieut. Made a strong prayer for union, and death or banishment to traitors. I am cook today. C. Beef and rice to cook.

“May 5-The news came in this morning that we are exchanged, and are to leave this place within a week. Good news for us! We hardly dare credit it.

“May 6-Today the report of yesterday is contradicted by some of the rebel officers. We hardly know what to think of it. We hope, however. Hard bread and pork for rations. Don’t suit us at all. Reports from Corinth and Richmond are favorable.

“May 7-We hear all sorts of reports today in regard to our being exchanged. Some say we will go only as far as Macon, others that we will go on to Norfolk. Can’t believe anything we hear. Hard bread and fresh beef today. Pleasant day, and splendid evenings we have.

“May 8-The prospect of our leaving this place grows less every day. 9th-No prospect of leaving here at all. 10th-Beautiful moonlight evening, and we Waukon boys are together talking of home. 11th-Preaching today by Lieut. Winslow. Five weeks today we have been prisoners of war.

“May 13-Worked with squad on the well two hours. Our rations today consisted of a piece of corn bread 2x4 for each man. That would starve men soon.

“May 14-A newspaper was smuggled in today which gave an account of the battle of New Orleans, and the evacuation of Pensacola. Also good news from Richmond and Corinth. Small, poor rations again today in the shape of corn bread and peas.

“May 15-We hear that Norfork is taken and the Merrimac burned. Good news for prisoners. Corn bread and rice for rations; also fresh beef extra.

“May 16-A day of fasting and prayer in the C. S. A., and certainly it does not lack much of it in here, for all we draw is a little corn bread and poor beans.

“May 17-We hear the Mobile is taken and that Beauregard is leaving Corinth, or attempting to. Our men feel good over the news and think we will not stop here always.

“May 20-Capt. Troy and other rebel officers are making a descriptive list of all non-commissioned officers and privates, for what purpose we know not, but are told it is for the purpose of parolling, and that we will leave in a few days.

“May 21-Today we learn that, all non-com officers are to stay here with the commissioned. Rather tough news for me, but I guess I can stand it. Lt. Merrill went to the hospital today.

“May 22-An alphabetical roll of all privates has been made today, and verified by roll-call afterwards.

“May 24-The privates are signing their paroles today. Everything was got ready and the boys left the jail yard about six o’clock. I was glad to see them go, but hated to part with them.

“May 25-Our commissioned officers are having their descriptive rolls taken today. It looks-lied their being paroled too. We all expect to leave here tomorrow, for-somewhere-home, I hope. Prisoners seven weeks today.

“May 26-This morning we were told that we should not go until tomorrow morning. The remaining privates from the hospital leave in the morning, 39 a number.

“May 27-The remainder of the Tuscaloosa prisoners came into our prison today. They consist of commissioned and non-com officers taken at Shiloh, and some Belmont boys, and some Fort Donelson. Also about forth loyal citizens of Tennessee. A pretty hard looking set the prisoners are, too. We are still here !

“May 28-A new officer takes command today. He has a list of all in here which he says he will start for Macon, Ga., on Friday morning, there to be paroled immediately. There is one prisoner here from Manassas.

“May 29-Lieut. Merrill died in hospital at 9 o’clock this morning. Andrews nursed him to the last. Lt. Marks also of the 12th Regt. Died today in same place an hour later.

“May 30-Got aboard the cars (covered platform) at 7 A.M. Arrived at Columbus, Ga., at dark, where we changed cars. Very hot day.

“May 31-Arrived in Macon at 7 o’clock A. M., having been 24 hours traveling 190 miles. We were marched to the Fair Grounds, or ‘Camp Oglethorpe’ now. Found several of the 12th boys hers. Like the looks of the place very well. Very hot day indeed.

“June 1-Strolling about our new prison some. Quite a pretty place, containing about twelve acres. There is a nice spring, and a good well close by our quarters. There are shade trees although the grounds, and I think it a healthy place.

“June 2-Spent most of the day lying under the shade trees. Some Fort Donelson prisoners paroled from Chicago arrived here today. We hear that Richmond is in our possession !

“June 3 to 5-Boys mostly playing baseball, cricket, etc., and lying in the shade. Our living nowadays is white bread and flour gravy, which is better than we had at Montgomery. A battery drilling, also several companies of infantry, inside the prison grounds.

“June 6-Rebels are firing a salute in honor of Stonewall Jackson. They say he has routed Gen. Banks and is on his way to Baltimore, etc. Think he will run against a stone wall before he gets near Baltimore

“June 8-Lying in the shade most of the time and nothing to do but think of home; nine weeks today we have been prisoners.

“June 9-Lieut. Jackson died in hospital today at 8 o’clock A. M. We hear that our boys that were paroled from Montgomery have not yet crossed the lines. Hope it is not true. 10th-Lt. Jackson buried with honors.

“June 12-Drew fresh beef for the first time in Macon. We hear good news from Richmond and Savannah. 14th-Waiting upon Andrews in the hospital. 15th-17th-Ten weeks prisoners. Nothing going on. Cold and disagreeable weather. Bet it ain’t so cold in Iowa. A good time to be at home lying on the old lounge.

“June 18-Our Montgomery paroled boys arrived here about six o’clock this evening, from Griffin lastly. Pleased to see them, but sorry they had so poor luck. Here that our Capt. Is well.

“June 19-The day passed very quickly; supposed because of our reinforcements. The guard lines have been drawn in so that we have less privilege than before. Six prisoners escaped the 17th.

(The entries along here do not vary much. “Nothing going on in particular.” “Lying around as usual.” “Nothing to do and plenty of help.” “Doing the same kind of work as yesterday.” “At work at our old trade.” “Conflicting reports from the front”) Prisoners escaping frequently.

“June 30-Wm. White died in hospital at 2 o’clock A. M.

“July 3-We hear god news from Richmond, Chattanooga, and Eastern Tennessee today. Only hope the reports are true. One of our men was shot by the guard for coming too near his beat.

“Aug. 4-Here I am spending my birthday in the Southern Confederacy, amongst fleas and other vermin, instead of at home amongst friends.

Feet badly swelled. Hugh washes my feet and legs every night in hot water. (Refers to Hugh McCabe, the Good Samaritan.)

“Sept. 1-Milk toast and sweet potatoes I think are helping me, 2d, Sold my watch for $19.00, but hated to part with it. 5th, feel much better today. The rebels are rejoicing over some victory. 7th, feeling pretty well but awful weak. 10th, feel tip-top. 11th. Nothing going on in our mess but the ring business, which Rogers, Bearce and Co.

“Oct. 17-Were moved twelve miles to Aikin’s Landing, where we got aboard the John A. Warner as free men.

“Oct. 18-Went down river to Fortress Monroe.”

This is the last entry in the diary. Note the coincidence of name of boat which welcomed them as free men, with that of the boat on which they started up the Tennessee river to Pittsburg Landing, on March 13th. The men reached Annapolis, Md., on the 26th, and went into camp. Hugh McCabe, who had kept up and nursed others through sickness, now felt it best to go to the hospital himself that night, and advised Frank to go with him, but he was so greatly elated with the sense of freedom that he mustered strength to march to the camp with his comrades, and during the night his spirit took its departure while they slept.

Interesting memoranda on blank pages of the diary include a list of the boys who go to hospital, and deaths; list of those taken prisoners, of Co. B.; and the wounded with them; 53 with the officers. A description of their quarters, (At Montgomery, doubtless); “we are confined in a cotton-house and yard. The yard is about 16x6 rods; brick walls sixteen feet high at each end. One each side are buildings open to the yard, and about thirty feet deep. Our bunks are boards laid down on timbers and hay thrown onto them.” Also the following price lists of supplies:

“Montgomery, Ala., May 12th, 1862-Sugar sells at 18 to 23 cents per lb. Molasses $1.25, and all other things in proportion.
