Company B, 38th Regiment, Iowa Volunteers

Historical Sketch of the 38th Regiment, Iowa Volunteer Infantry (offsite: Iowa in the Civil War, IAGenWeb Special Project)
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.
