from Guy E. Logan's Roster and Record of Iowa Troops In the Rebellion,
Vol. 5
This men in this regiment were mainly from the counties of Fayette, Winneshiek,
Bremer, Chickasaw and Howard. "A series of misfortunes—the greatest
of which was its location in unhealthy localities pursued the regiment, and
prevented it from making a battle record equal to that of any of the regiments
which had preceded it to the field...Indeed, their fortitude and endurance
was severely tested in contending with the insidious and relentless foe, which,
in the form of disease, made sad havoc in their ranks. The compiler of this
historical sketch will endeavor to do justice to this splendid Iowa regiment."
At the end of 1864, the 38th and the 34th Regiments were consolidated into
one, thereafter known as the 34th.
