FIFTEENTH REGIMENT IOWA VOLUNTEER INFANTRY
The organization of the Fifteenth Regiment of Iowa Volunteer Infantry
began prior to Sept. 5, 1861, but the precise date is not revealed in the report of the Adjutant
General of the State. His report for the year 1863, however (Vol. 1, Page 547), shows that
company B of this regiment was ordered into quarters Sept. 5, 1861, and the entire ten
companies of which the regiment was composed were ordered into quarters by Governor
Kirkwood on dates ranging from Sept. 5, 1861, to Feb. 13, 1862. Keokuk, Iowa, was the place
designated for the rendezvous of the regiment and, at that place, the ten companies were
mustered into the service of the United States, on dates ranging from Nov. 1, 1861, to Feb. 22,
1862, by Capt. Charles C. Smith and Lieut. C. J. Ball, United States Army. The aggregate
strength of the regiment at muster in was 1,127, rank and file. *
*Report of Adjutant General of Iowa, 1863, Vol. 1, Pages 537 to 582, inclusive, showing
original roster of the Regiment.
The compiler of this historical sketch has adhered to the official reports and returns found in
the War of the Rebellion Official Records, published by authority of the Secretary of War, and
the official data contained in the military archives of the State of Iowa, covering the period
embraced in the service of the regiment. The record of personal service shown opposite the name
of each officer and enlisted man in the subjoined roster has also been obtained from the official
sources above indicated, supplemented by such information as could be procured from the War
Department in Washington and other reliable sources. Some of these records will be found to be
incomplete and, no doubt, some are incorrect. This is of course much to be regretted, but every
effort has been made to prevent errors and omissions. The reader is referred to the introductory
article to this volume, which shows some of the difficulties encountered in obtaining the facts
with reference to these individual records. Suffice it to say that as much care has been exercised
to secure a correct record for the enlisted man as for that of the officer. The compiler also wishes
it understood that only the outlines of history of the long and faithful service of the regiment
could be given within the limitations prescribed by the act of the General Assembly of the State
of Iowa which authorized the publication of this work.
The short time the regiment remained in rendezvous at Keokuk was utilized to the best
advantage by the officers and men, in drilling as best they could without muskets, going through
some of the simpler movements of company and battalion drill and applying themselves to the
study of tactics and army regulations. Among the officers, Adjutant George Pomutz and Major
William W. Belknap had the advantage of having received some military training, but the large
majority of both officers and enlisted men were utterly without experience and had to acquire, in
the brief time which elapsed before they were called upon to face the enemy in the field, such
knowledge of their duties as soldiers as would enable them to acquit themselves with credit and
honor to the State that sent them to the front to reinforce their comrades, who had already met
the enemy in several hard fought battles. In this state of unpreparedness the regiment left Keokuk
on the 19th day of March, 1862, and was conveyed by steamboat to St. Louis and, upon its
arrival there, marched to Benton Barracks, where troops were being concentrated, and given such
instruction as was possible before proceeding to join the
Army of the Tennessee, then encamped
2
at Pittsburg Landing. At Benton Barracks the regiment received its arms, accouterments and
general equipment.
On the morning of April 1, 1862, the regiment marched to St. Louis, where it embarked, with
orders to report to General Grant at Savannah, Tenn. Arriving, the night before the
commencement of the battle of Shiloh, Col. Hugh T. Reid, commanding the regiment, was
ordered to proceed to Pittsburg Landing, and there disembark his command and report to General
Prentiss. The regiment arrived at Pittsburg Landing on the morning of April 6, 1862. In his
official report Colonel Reid states that, upon reaching Pittsburg Landing, he proceeded at once to
report to General Prentiss, and found that officer and the division under his command already
under the fire of the enemy. Colonel Reid was ordered to bring his regiment forward as soon as
possible. He at once rode back to the landing and ordered his regiment to disembark quickly. As
fast as the men reached the shore they formed in line of battle, ammunition was distributed, and
guns were loaded for the first time since the men had received them. At this time an order was
given by a member of General Grant's staff directing Colonel Reid to hold the position in which
he had formed, to prevent stragglers from the battlefield from reaching the landing. The regiment
remained in that position for about an hour, when an order came from General Grant to Colonel
Reid to advance to the support of General McClernand's division, some two miles to the front.
The Sixteenth Iowa Infantry was included in this order, and the two regiments moved promptly
forward under the direction of a staff officer of General McClernand. A great many soldiers were
met, retreating from the battlefield, while the roar of battle in front indicated that a desperate
conflict was in progress, in which the enemy was succeeding in pressing the Union forces toward
the river. The situation was such as to test to the utmost the courage of these men who were fresh
from their homes, unused to the dreadful scenes transpiring about them, with the boom of cannon
and crash of musketry sounding nearer each moment, and with the panic-stricken and wounded
streaming to the rear; yet they pressed steadily forward. The following extract from Colonel
Reid's official report will show how bravely his regiment conducted itself when it came into
action, and while under the fire of the enemy. *
*Adjutant General of Iowa, 1863, Report, Vol. 2, Page 800.
+ Colonel Hugh T. Reid.
Our flag staff was shot through and our colors riddled with bullets; for two hours, from 10 to
12 o'clock, we maintained our position, our men fighting like veterans. The undersigned was
severely wounded by a musket ball through the neck, which knocked him from his horse,
paralyzed for the time, but recovering in a short time, remounted and continued in command
throughout the fight. Fifteen of the thirty-two commissioned officers who went on the field had
been killed, wounded, or taken prisoners; twenty-two officers and men had been killed, and one
hundred and fifty-six wounded. * * * The enemy were attempting to outflank us on the right and
left, we were unsupported by artillery or any other regiment except the gallant Sixteenth, which
had also suffered severely. It became necessary for the two regiments to retreat or run the risk of
being captured, and by order of General McClernand the retreat was made. Portions of the
regiments rallied and fought with other divisions later in the day and on Monday. Where nearly
all fought with bravery it might seem invidious to particularize, but I hope to do no one injustice
by specially pointing out those whose personal valor, during the action, came under my notice.
Lieutenant Colonel Dewey had his horse shot under him; Major Belknap was always in the right
place, at the right time, directing and encouraging officers and men as coolly as a veteran; he was
wounded but not disabled, and had his horse shot under him, but remained on the field
performing his duty on foot. Adjutant Pomutz distinguished
himself during the action for his
3
coolness and courage; he, too, was wounded. Captains Kittle of company A, Smith of company
B, Seevers of company C, Madison of company D, Hutchcraft of company E, Cunningham of
company G, Day of company I, Hedrick of company K, who was captured in a charge upon the
enemy, all distinguished themselves for their gallantry and courage in leading forward and
encouraging their men; Captain Blackmar of company F, was wounded in the action and
disabled; First Lieutenant Goode of same company also wounded; Captain Clark, of company H,
was not in the engagement, having been left sick in the hospital at St. Louis; Captains Hutchcraft
and Day were both severely wounded; Second Lieutenant Penniman of company A, and
Hamilton of company I, were killed while bravely performing their duty. First Lieutenant King
and Second Lieutenant Danielson of company H were both severely wounded while acting well
their part, thus leaving the company without a commissioned officer. First Lieutenants Studer of
company B, Porter of company D, Craig of company E, Hanks of company G, J. Monroe Reid of
company I, who, though wounded himself, continued in command of the company after the
Captain was disabled and the second Lieutenant killed, and Eldridge of company K, all deserve
special praise for the manner in which they conducted themselves on the field. Second
Lieutenants Landstrum of company B, Brown of company E, Herbert of company C, and
Sergeant Major Brown, who was severely wounded, conducted themselves well on the field. The
non-commissioned officers generally were at their posts and performed their duty. The Color
Sergeant, Newton J. Rogers, who fought in the First Iowa at Springfield, gallantly bore our
standard forward and planted it among the enemy where it was bravely maintained and defended
by portions of companies C, E, I and K. It must be remembered that this regiment had just
received its arms and that the men had never had an opportunity of learning the use of them until
they came on the battlefield; that they had just landed and were attached to no brigade, and
fought the enemy without the support of artillery, in a position from which more experienced
troops had been compelled to retire. *** We have no means of learning the loss of the enemy in
this engagement except from what they told some of our wounded men, who were taken
prisoners and left behind the next day, when the enemy made their final retreat; but from this
source we learned that they had forty men killed in the immediate vicinity of our colors, and a
large number wounded. While we mourn our comrades in arms, the gallant dead, whose lives
were sacrificed on the altar of their country, we are solaced with the belief that a grateful people
will, in after times, pay a proper tribute to their memory.
At the close of his report Colonel Reid expresses his obligations to Quartermaster Higley,
Surgeon Davis, Assistant Surgeon Gibbon and Chaplain Estabrook, for the faithful and efficient
manner in which they discharged the duties of their respective offices. Colonel Reid states that
the total loss of his regiment at the battle of Shiloh was 186. In the tabulated returns of casualties,
as shown by the official records,* the total loss is given as 185, and this slight discrepancy is
readily accounted for, as stated by Loren S. Tyler, who compiled the history of the Fifteenth
Iowa Infantry (published in 1887) in which he gives a tabulated statement of losses, by
companies, showing an aggregate loss of 213, and says, "Without original lists of casualties, it is
impossible to make a list that will agree with the number stated in the reports of battle, as, after
the reports have been forwarded to headquarters, other casualties are always found." Adjutant
Pomutz states that the number of the regiment engaged was 760, and gives the total loss as 188.+
The loss was, therefore, very nearly one-fourth of the number engaged.

The compiler has given more space to the account of this first battle in which the regiment
was engaged than he will be able to give to those which followed. With the highest appreciation
of its subsequent splendid achievements on other battlefields, he considers the battle of Shiloh as
having been the severest test of the courage and fortitude of the officers and men of the regiment
to which they were subjected during their long term of service. No regiment ever acquitted itself
with greater credit in its first battle.
Soon after the battle the regiment was attached to a temporary brigade, consisting of the
Fifteenth and Sixteenth Iowa, and Eighteenth Wisconsin, Infantry, of which Colonel Reid of the
Fifteenth Iowa was in command, and which took part in the advance upon Corinth, Miss., to
which place the defeated rebel army had retreated, and where, behind strong earth-works, it
grimly awaited the attack of the Union army. April 27, 1862, marked an important event in the
career of the regiment, for upon that date it became a part of the brigade consisting of the
Eleventh, Thirteenth, Fifteenth and Sixteenth Regiments of Iowa Infantry, known as Crocker's
Iowa Brigade, and which achieved great distinction by its subsequent brilliant achievements in
battle. The history of these four Iowa regiments for the remainder of the war is largely identical.
They remained together until they were mustered out, their terms of service expiring about the
same time.
The Union lines continued to advance upon Corinth, and laid siege to that stronghold. The
Brigade, under command of the gallant and gifted Col. M. M. Crocker, of the Thirteenth Iowa,
took part in the arduous siege operations which ensued, and which ended on the morning of May
30, 1862, the enemy having evacuated Corinth during the previous night. The army of the
Tennessee at once took possession of the abandoned works. During the month of June the
regiment and brigade were encamped near Corinth. On June 27th the Fifteenth Iowa moved
inside the works and acted as provost guard for the post, Major Belknap acting as Provost
Marshal.
At the end of July the regiment, with its brigade and division, under the command of General
Tuttle, was ordered to march to Bolivar, to reinforce the troops at that important post. Soon after
reaching Bolivar, General Tuttle was ordered to another command, and Colonel Crocker
succeeded him in command of the division. The command of the brigade now devolved upon
Colonel Reid, who detailed Adjutant Pomutz as Assistant Adjutant General. The enemy, in large
force, continued in the vicinity of Bolivar for several weeks, and an attack was constantly
threatened; but this proved to be a ruse, intended to draw away from Corinth a sufficient number
of Union troops to enable the rebel forces to recapture that important post. When the real purpose
of the enemy was discovered, by his sudden appearance at Iuka and capture of that place, the
Fifteenth Iowa, with its brigade, was ordered to return to Corinth, and thence to Iuka, where it
assisted in the operations against the enemy. But only one of the regiments of the Brigade was
ordered forward and became engaged in the battle of Iuka; this was the Sixteenth Iowa, which
fought bravely and lost heavily in that engagement on Sept. 19, 1862.
The brigade now returned to Corinth, where, on the 3d and 4th of October, 1862, it took part
in the hard fought battles in and around that place. The Fifteenth Iowa occupied an advanced
position and suffered heavy loss. The following extracts from the official report of Col. M. M.
Crocker, brigade commander, will show how well the regiment performed its duty in these
battles:
About 5 o'clock on the morning of the 3d inst., the brigade formed, two regiments (the
Eleventh and Thirteenth) in line of battle facing the west, and the Fifteenth and Sixteenth in close
column by division in rear of the line. The regiments remained in that position, with skirmishers
deployed in front, receiving an occasional cannon shot, until about 3 o'clock, when, the division
on the right having fallen back, a change of front was
ordered. The Fifteenth and Sixteenth were
5
then formed in line of battle perpendicular to the first line and the Eleventh and Thirteenth in
close column by division in the rear.
In this position the brigade remained until about 4 P. M., when orders were received to again
change front so as to connect the right of the brigade with the left of General Davies' division, its
left to rest in the direction of Battery E. After the execution of this order had been commenced
notice was received from General McKean that the division was to move back inside the inner
fortifications, and an order received that the Eleventh and Thirteenth Regiments form in line of
battle a quarter of a mile in rear of the line formed by the Fifteenth and Sixteenth, in front of and
parallel to the road over which the artillery of the division must pass, and the brigade to protect
the movements of the rest of the division and the artillery.
The execution of the order to move back had just commenced when the enemy, in greatly
superior force, attacked the front line—the Fifteenth and Sixteenth. The officers and men of
these regiments, acting with signal determination and bravery, not only held the enemy in check,
but drove him back, and held their position until notice was received that the artillery had passed
safely to the rear, when they were ordered to fall back and form in line of battle on the right of
the second line, which they did in good order, the enemy declining to follow. This engagement
lasted three-quarters of an hour; the firing was incessant, and the regiments, especially the
Fifteenth, suffered severely, I deem it my especial duty to particularly mention Lieutenant
Colonel Belknap, who commanded the Fifteenth Regiment. This regiment was under the hottest
fire, and Colonel Belknap was everywhere along the line, mounted, with sword in hand,
encouraging by voice and gesture his men to stand their ground. Lieut. Col. Addison H. Sanders,
who commanded the Sixteenth, is entitled to great praise. He rode along the line of his regiment
amid the storm of bullets, encouraging his brave boys who had so lately suffered at Iuka to
remember their duty, and although severely wounded remained with his regiment until it
marched off the field. Majors Cunningham, of the Fifteenth, and Purcell, of the Sixteenth, did
their whole duty, and conducted themselves with great bravery.
Colonel Crocker then describes the positions occupied by his brigade after passing inside the
fortifications at Corinth; the part it performed behind the works during the engagement of
October 4th, in which it suffered but few casualties; the pursuit of the retreating enemy, in which
his whole brigade participated, and which continued until the evening of October 8th, and the
return to Corinth on the 13th; and, near the close of his report, says:
The Brigade, during the protracted movements of the battle and pursuit, encountering every
hardship and privation incident to such campaigning, behaved with great fortitude, meeting every
danger and hardship cheerfully; and I acknowledge my obligations to all the field officers for
their cheerful, hearty and intelligent co-operation. Col. H. T. Reid of the Fifteenth Iowa, though
prostrated by illness and unable to be in the field during the first day's engagement, on the
second day left his sick bed, joined his command, and, though unable to ride his horse, remained
with his regiment, traveling in an ambulance until the pursuit was abandoned. Lieutenant
Landstrum of the Fifteenth Iowa, who acted as aide, deported himself as a good and faithful
soldier. The loss of the brigade occurred principally in the engagement on the 3d instant, the
Fifteenth suffering most. The killed, wounded and missing are as follows, namely: killed 14,
wounded 110, missing 22. Total 146.*

It will thus be seen that, in the battles of Shiloh and Corinth alone, the regiment had sustained
an aggregate loss of 334, not including its smaller losses during the siege and its minor
encounters with the enemy around Bolivar, which would considerably increase this aggregate.
With less than eight months of its three years' term of service completed, it had made a record as
a fighting regiment that would have entitled it to a most prominent place in history, if its service
had ended with the battle of Corinth. The record of the long series of campaigns and battles
through which the regiment was yet to pass must be condensed into a space not exceeding that
already occupied, and to this difficult task the compiler now commits himself.
Upon its return to Corinth the regiment went into camp, where it remained for several weeks.
The weather grew cold and the troops were preparing for winter quarters, when, on November
2d, orders came to take up the line of march for Grand Junction, at which place the command
arrived on November 5th, and where a part of the troops, that were to participate in the
expedition against Vicksburg, were being concentrated. On November 28th the troops were put
in motion for the South, the Third Brigade of the Sixth Division of Hamilton's Corps (Crocker's
Iowa Brigade) taking the advance. The Fifteenth Iowa, with its brigade, took a prominent part in
the operations of that great expedition which penetrated to the interior of Mississippi, and was
well on the way towards Vicksburg when a strong force of the enemy's cavalry succeeded in
getting in the rear of General Grant's army, captured Holly Springs, where the immense stores of
supplies for the use of the army had been accumulated, destroyed the supplies, and thus
compelled the retreat of the army towards Memphis. During this retrograde movement the
soldiers suffered greatly from exposure to frequent storms and from lack of sufficient food.
The regiment, with its brigade and division, reached Memphis on the 13th of January, 1863.
On January 18th, the expedition against Vicksburg was renewed, this time by way of the
Mississippi River. The regiments and brigades of the Sixth Division, including Crocker's Iowa
Brigade, embarked on a fleet of fifteen steamers and were conveyed down the great river to
Milliken's Bend, a short distance above the mouth of the Yazoo River. Here the troops
disembarked and went into camp. From this point a detachment from the brigade— consisting of
details from the Fifteenth Iowa and the other regiments, under command of Lieutenant Colonel
Belknap—was mounted and sent upon a couple of reconnoitering expeditions, in which they
came in contact with the enemy and lost one man killed and several wounded.
On the 20th of January, 1863, the Third Brigade and the Sixth Division were transferred to
Major General McPherson's Seventeenth Army Corps, Brigadier General McArthur retaining
command of the division, and Colonel Crocker of the brigade. On February 8th the command
embarked and was conveyed to Providence, on the Louisiana shore, seventy miles north of
Vicksburg, where it disembarked and went into camp. Here the cutting of the canal—to connect
Lake Providence with the Mississippi—was begun and continued until the 16th of March, when
it was completed. It was an arduous undertaking, participated in by all the troops, in which the
Fifteenth Iowa bore its full part. During the first days
in March, the regiment and brigade were
7
subjected to a rigid inspection by William E. Strong, Inspector General of the Seventeenth Army
Corps, who highly commended the officers and men for their soldierly bearing, excellence in
drill and the manual of arms, and the correct manner in which the records were kept, and
concludes his report as follows: "Once more I say that the Third Brigade, commanded by Col. M.
M. Crocker, are an honor to the division and corps to which they are attached, and an honor to
the army of the Tennessee, an honor to their friends at home, to their State and to their country,
and I know from their record in the field, that they must be a terror to the foe."
On March 10th, Lieutenant Colonel Belknap was detached from the regiment and appointed
Provost Marshal of the Seventeenth Corps. The regiment with its brigade left Lake Providence
April 21st, and, from that time until the close of the Vicksburg campaign, was actively engaged
in important movements, contributing its full share to the accomplishment of the grand result—
the surrender of the rebel stronghold on the 4th of July, 1863.
About the time the command moved from Lake Providence, Colonel Crocker—whose
appointment as Brigadier General had been confirmed—was assigned to the command of the
Seventh Division of the Seventeenth Army Corps, and was thus separated from the brigade
which bore his name and whose splendid conduct, under his command, had been a most
important factor in securing his promotion. Col. H. T. Reid, having been promoted to Brigadier
General, was assigned to the command of the First Brigade of the division; Colonel Hall
of the Eleventh Iowa, who was the senior officer present for duty, became commander of the
Third Brigade, and Lieutenant Colonel Belknap—who was soon after promoted to Colonel—
returned from staff duty and took command of the regiment.
On the 26th of April the regiment and brigade marched to Holmes' Plantation and remained
in camp there until May 11th. On May 13th, marched to Hard Times Landing, and crossed by
boat to Grand Gulf, south of Vicksburg. The subsequent movements of the Fifteenth Iowa up to
and including July 4th— the date of the surrender of Vicksburg—are described in the official
report of Colonel Belknap, showing the numerous positions to which it was assigned during the
progress of the siege, and the important service it performed, being part of the time on duty in the
trenches and part of the time engaged in guarding against an attack by the rebel General
Johnston's army from the rear. At the time of the surrender the regiment occupied a position near
Messenger's Ferry, in view of Johnston's army. At the close of his report Colonel Belknap says:
"The men of this regiment have endured the hardships of these severe marches and the trials of
the campaign without a murmur. Whether at work in the trenches or acting as sharpshooters, they
have evinced an alacrity, zeal and courage which deserves full commendation, and in every
movement I have had the full co-operation of every officer of the command."
After the surrender of Vicksburg the regiment with its brigade took part in the expedition
against Johnston, which ended with the evacuation of Jackson by the rebel forces on July 16th.
The Third Brigade, now under the command of Colonel Chambers of the Sixteenth Iowa,
returned towards Vicksburg, halting at Black River until relieved by other troops, when it
marched to Vicksburg and went into camp north of the city. Here a considerable number of the
men were given a thirty days' furlough and some of the officers were granted leave of absence
for the same length of time, Colonel Belknap among the number.
On the 21st of August the regiment, under command of Lieutenant Colonel Hedrick,
participated in an expedition against a force of the enemy occupying a fortified position at
Monroe, La., on the Washita River. After a toilsome march and considerable skirmishing, by the
cavalry which led the advance, the regiment formed in line—with the other Union forces—in
front of the enemy's position, but, after a brief skirmish, the rebel forces retreated, abandoning
the town and a considerable quantity of military stores. The object of the expedition having been
accomplished, the troops returned to Vicksburg, where they
arrived Sept. 3, 1863.
8
Colonel Chambers, of the Sixteenth Iowa, having been promoted to Brigadier General, was
assigned to the command of the Sixth Division on September 11th, and Colonel Hall of the
Eleventh Iowa again took command of the brigade, which moved to a new camp south of
Vicksburg. Here the regiment was engaged in the performance of camp and garrison duty, varied
only by participation in several expeditions into the country, in which it did not come into
contact with the enemy. From the middle of September, 1863, to the last of January, 1864, the
regiment was almost entirely relieved from active operations in the field. This long period was
employed to the very best advantage by Colonel Belknap in instructing his officers and men in
the proper discharge of their duties in camp, on the march and in battle. This capable and
energetic officer felt a just pride in the high state of discipline and efficiency to which his
regiment had attained. He had the satisfaction of witnessing the good results of his instruction in
the splendid conduct of his regiment in the subsequent campaigns and battles in which it was
engaged, and which are all too briefly described in the remainder of this historical sketch.
Near the close of the year 1863, in response to the call of the Government three-fourths of the
men of the Fifteenth Iowa had re-enlisted for three years or during the war, to date from the
expiration of their original term of service. On the 3d of February, 1864, the regiment, with its
brigade and division, again took up the line of march and became part of the army, under
command of Maj. Gen. W. T. Sherman, which penetrated far into the interior of the State of
Mississippi. While the regiment did not come into actual contact with the enemy on this
expedition, it sustained its full share of the hardships incident to a long march in winter without
tents and often without sufficient rations. The regiment returned to its camp at Vicksburg on the
4th of March. On the 13th, that portion of the regiment which had re-enlisted started on veteran
furlough to their homes in Iowa, being conveyed by steamer to Keokuk, which place they
reached on March 22d, and each soldier was given a furlough of 30 days from that date; at the
expiration of which they returned to Keokuk and were conveyed, by way of Cairo, Ill., and
Paducah, Ky., to Clifton, Tenn., where they landed May 6,1864. From Clifton the command
marched to Pulaski, Tenn., and thence to Huntsville, Ala., where the non-veterans of the
regiment, under command of Major Pomutz, had previously arrived, and the regiment was
reunited. In the meantime, General Crocker had been compelled to relinquish the command of
the division, on account of poor health, and Gen. W. Q. Gresham had succeeded him as division
commander. Major General McPherson, having been promoted to the command of the Army of
the Tennessee, was succeeded by Maj. Gen. Frank P. Blair, Jr., as commander of the Seventeenth
Army Corps. It was with deep regret that the regiment and brigade witnessed the departure of
their of commander, General Crocker, to whom they had become greatly attached.
And now the great campaign, which was to have such a decisive effect, was about to begin.
The regiment, with its brigade, division and corps, marching through the mountainous districts of
northern Alabama and Georgia, by way of Rome, Kingston and Allatoona, reached Ackworth
June 8th and there joined McPherson's Army of the Tennessee, the Seventeenth Corps occupying
the extreme left of Sherman's Grand Army, composed of the Armies of the Cumberland,
Tennessee and Ohio.
From Ackworth to Big Shanty, Kenesaw Mountain, Noonday Creek, Brushy Mountain,
Nickajack Creek, Turner's Ferry and the Chattahoochee the regiment with its brigade pushed
steadily on, skirmishing with the enemy almost constantly and driving him from one after
another of his strongly entrenched positions, all of which were bravely and stubbornly defended.
These heavy skirmishes often rose to the dignity of a battle; indeed, it might be said that it was a
regular series of battles, in which the Fifteenth Iowa sustained its full share of the fighting.
General Sherman made this statement: "It is impossible to state accurately our losses in one
separate battle; for the fighting was continuous, almost
daily, among trees and bushes, on ground
9
where one could rarely see a hundred yards ahead." Up to the 22d of July the Fifteenth Iowa had
lost nearly one hundred in killed and wounded. In the battles of the 21st, 22d and 28th of July,
near Atlanta, the regiment lost heavily. The official reports of Col. Wm. W. Belknap show in
detail the splendid conduct of his regiment in these engagements. Space will only permit brief
quotations from these reports. Of the charge of the regiment on the 21st he says: "At 8 o'clock on
the morning of the 21st, skirmishing having been constant after daylight, the order was received
from Colonel Shane commanding brigade, to advance on the enemy's works in front. * * * The
whole front line advanced rapidly with cheers to the crest of the hill in full view of the rebel
works, and fought with valor and determination. * * * In front of the Fifteenth Iowa a battery of
several guns, previously masked, opened upon us with grape and canister, and when the line was
ordered to retire it did so in good order, notwithstanding the withering fire from the battery. The
attack was successful in enabling Force's brigade to hold the hill on our left, and compelling the
evacuation of the line by the enemy on the next morning. The officers and men of the regiment
did their duty, as they always do." * * *
After describing the different positions occupied by his regiment in that tremendous battle of
July 22, 1864, in which the Fifteenth and the other regiments of the Iowa Brigade so greatly
distinguished themselves, Colonel Belknap depicts the closing scene of that terrible conflict, as
follows:
The enemy fought bravely and obstinately, and many of them were shot down fighting at the
muzzles of our guns. The Forty-fifth Alabama, led by Colonel Lampley and Major Freeman,
advanced on our line, but was instantly repulsed, every man within view being killed or captured.
The Fifteenth Iowa captured two field officers, a captain and many men of this regiment, and the
Lieutenant Colonel of the Thirty-eighth Tennessee. The bearer of the regimental battle flag was
shot down by Private Crowder of company C, and the commanding officer of the regiment had
the satisfaction of personally capturing Colonel Lamprey, commanding officer of the Forty-fifth
Alabama. * ** The regiment mourns the loss of its gallant dead. Veterans and recruits fought
side by side, and testified their bravery and devotion. * * * Lieut. E. M. Gebhart, of company D,
was the only officer killed; wounded severely at Shiloh, captured there and a prisoner for
months, he returned to his regiment, bravely did his duty, and died a soldier's death. The army
has in its ranks no braver man. My thanks are due to Adj. E. H. King and all the officers and men
of the regiment for their gallantry that contributed so eminently to the success of the day. We had
380 men In line, 131 of whom were killed, wounded or captured.+***

After a brief respite, the regiment went into battle on July 28, 1864, and again gloriously
sustained the honor of the flag. The combined losses of the regiment in these three days of battle
were 190 men and officers out of 428 engaged, making an aggregate loss of forty-five per cent.
No regiment that participated in the great Atlanta campaign made a better record.
Col. Wm. W. Belknap was promoted to the rank of Brigadier General July 30th, and was
assigned to the command of his of Iowa brigade. Maj. George Pomutz was at the same time—at
his own request—relieved from staff duty at corps headquarters, and, returning to his regiment,
assumed command, in the absence of Lieutenant Colonel Hedrick,++ who was severely wounded
in the battle of July 22d. The regiment and brigade continued in constant and active service to the
close of the great campaign, and the list of killed and wounded grew longer. On the 1st of
September the enemy evacuated Atlanta. The regiment and brigade took part in the pursuit of
Hood's army, and in all the operations of the division and
army corps after the fall of Atlanta. In
10
his very complete and carefully detailed history of the regiment,* from its organization to its
final muster out of the service, Lieut. Col. George Pomutz gives a statement showing the
remarkable experience of the Fifteenth Iowa Infantry during the campaign and up to the fall of
Atlanta.
++Col. J. M. Hedrick, who was so severely wounded at Atlanta—July 22, 1864— as to disable
him for active service, was detailed for special duty as a member of a General Court Martial in
Washington, D. C., and was retained upon that duty until Aug. 11, 1866, when he was mustered
out of the service. He received the brevet rank of Brigadier General March 13, 1865. After the
close of the war he made a most honorable record in public and private life. He died at his home
in Ottumwa, Iowa, Oct. 3, 1886.
The statement is here quoted as follows:
The Fifteenth Iowa was under fire during the siege of Atlanta, on the following days:
In June, from 10th to 30th inclusive, north of Atlanta, 20 days.
In July, from 1st to 16th inclusive, north of Atlanta, 16 days.
In July, from 20th to 26th inclusive, east of Atlanta, 7 days.

On the 19th of October, 1864, the non-veterans, whose term of service had expired, were
conveyed by rail to Chattanooga, and were there mustered out of the service. These men were
entitled to the honor of having faithfully performed their duty and of serving the full term for
which they had enlisted. The end of the great war was evidently near, and the soldiers who had
re-enlisted, together with the recruits constantly joining them, gave the Government an army
amply sufficient for the final crushing out of the rebellion.
* Adjutant General's Report, State of Iowa, 1866, Pages 197 to 267, inclusive.
The veteran regiment, and the recruits which had been assigned to it, now entered upon the
closing campaigns of the war. During the long and arduous march from Atlanta to the sea, and
from Savannah through the Carolinas to Richmond and on to Washington, the regiment and
brigade, its numbers greatly augmented by recruits which joined it on the way, performed every
duty with the same alacrity and fidelity which had
characterized it in the past. There was much
11
fighting yet to be done, but there were no great battles fought; the enemy, while stubbornly and
bravely resisting the advance of the Union army, not being strong enough to seriously impede its
progress. The rebel General Johnston surrendered his army on the 26th of April, 1865, and, from
that time, the march towards the North was unobstructed. On the 19th of May the long march
was ended, and the regiment went into camp at Alexandria near Washington.
May 24, 1865, General Sherman's army passed in review before the President and Lieutenant
General Grant. Conspicuous among the troops in that splendid pageant was the Iowa Brigade
whose first commander, the gallant General Crocker, was then in Washington, suffering from the
malady which had compelled him to leave the field, and from the effects of which he died soon
afterwards. On June 1st the Army of the Tennessee was ordered to Louisville, Ky. The troops
were conveyed by rail to Parkersburg, on the Ohio river, and thence by steamboat to Louisville,
where the Fifteenth Iowa arrived June 12th, and remained in camp until July 24, 1865, on which
date it was mustered out of the service of the United States. It then proceeded by rail to
Davenport, Iowa, where it received final payment, was disbanded, and the men returned to their
homes. Before disbanding, Lieut. Col. George Pomutz+ issued a farewell order, in which, after
recounting the experience of the regiment amid the trials, dangers and hardships of war, he
concludes as follows:
Soldiers of the Fifteenth Iowa:—Your record is a noble one. For three and a half years you
have borne the banner of the stars and stripes, the emblem of the power and unity of our
Government; at the same time as the exponent of your own determination to assist in upholding
that Government and its laws, you have carried and defended that banner through a distance
marched, and traveled, of seven thousand eight hundred ninety-eight miles, since March, 1862.
Out of the aggregate number of 1,763 men who have been members of the regiment since its
organization, l,051 are out, a fearful proportion of whom comprises those killed, the deceased
and those crippled and disabled for life. Proof enough of the devotion of the members of the
regiment to our Government and its laws. Then let our actions and deeds show, when we return
to our own firesides, that we are the foremost in obeying the laws of the country we have been
fighting to uphold, that we are determined to let our future conduct ever be that of peaceful
citizens in time of peace, as it has been that of true warriors in time of war.*
This patriotic injunction has been faithfully observed by the survivors of the Fifteenth Iowa,
whose record as citizens has been kept up to the high standard of their military service. Many of
them have been important factors in the development and upbuilding of this great
commonwealth, which has discharged a high duty in thus endeavoring to honor the memory of
the brave men it sent forth to battle for the principles of justice and human liberty, as exemplified
by the Government of the United States of America.
+Lieut. Col. George Pomutz was a native of Hungary, where he received a military education.
He came to America in 1848, and was one of the most loyal defenders of his adopted country.
After the close of the war, he was appointed Consul General of the United States at St.
Petersburg, Russia, and died there Oct. 12, 1882.
