Roster and Record of Iowa Troops In the Rebellion, Vol. 3

By Guy E. Logan

HISTORICAL SKETCH

TWENTY-FIRST REGIMENT IOWA VOLUNTEER INFANTRY

The official reports of the Adjutant General of Iowa show that Company A of the Twentyfirst

Regiment of Infantry, was ordered into quarters at Clinton Iowa, on the 23d day of May,

1862, and that it was there mustered into the service of the United States on the 4th day of June,

1862, while the other nine companies of the regiment were ordered into quarters at Dubuque,

Iowa, o, dates ranging from July 28 to August 23, 1862, and were there mustered into service, on

dates ranging from the 18th to the 25th of August, 1862. The wide discrepancy in the dates of the

muster in of the first company and those which followed is explained in a foot-note to the

Original Roster of Company A, stating that the company was originally raised for the Eighteenth

Iowa Infantry, but was subsequently transferred to the Twenty-first. l The mustering officers

were Captains George S. Pierce and H. B. Hendershott of the Regular Army, and the term of

service was for three years from the date of muster. The official reports also show that, when the

muster in of the ten companies was completed, their aggregate strength was 964 enlisted men

and company officers, and, wit twelve Field and Staff officers and four additional enlistments,

the total number was 980. 2 The subjoined roster shows the name and record of service of ever

enlisted man and commissioned officer who was at any time a member of the regiment. The

roster has been carefully compiled from the official records in the office of the Adjutant General

of the State and, where these records do not show the completed service of any officer or soldier,

a list of such names has been sent to the War Department, in Washington, in the hope that

information might be obtained which would enable those engaged in making up these revise

rosters to make them complete. In some instances the records were found to be incomplete, as

shown from the lists returned from the War Department an must, therefore, remain go, but in

most cases the necessary information has been obtained to complete them. It is believed,

however, that the subjoined roster is as nearly correct as it is possible to make it from the official

record No doubt there are some errors and omissions, but every effort has been made to reduce

them to the minimum. This "ketch of the history of the regime has also been compiled from the

official reports and returns, as made to the Adjutant General of the State. The compiler was an

Iowa soldier, in one of its infantry regiments, and in the preparation of this work has endeavored

to cover as many of the leading events in the history of this, and all other Iowa regiments, as the

limitation of space to which he is restricted will permit. It would have been an easier task to have

written a longer history and to have gone more fully into detail, but the necessity for

condensation has had to be kept constantly in mind; and, in this regard, each regiment has been

given only the amount of space which the extent of its leading operations and length of service

seemed to demand.

The Field and Staff and Company officers of the regiment, as well as the men they

commanded, were, with but few exceptions, entirely without experience as soldiers, but all

utilized the time which was spent at Camp Franklin (near Dubuque) to the best advantage, in

learning their respective duties and imparting such instruction as they could to the men under

their command, The regiment was supplied with Enfield rifles, (one of the best guns in use at

that time,) and was otherwise very well equipped for active service before leaving the State. In

these respects it was more fortunate than some of the regiments which had preceded it. Both men

and officers were apt in acquiring the rudiments of a military education. They were given ample

opportunity to learn, in the practical school of experience in the field, more rapidly than if they

had been detained longer in their first camp, for the reason that they were soon brought into

contact with other troops, and the spirit of emulation, which naturally prevailed, caused both

officers and men to embrace every opportunity to improve their knowledge of their duties as

soldiers. The company and regimental drills and the enforcement of discipline were alike

somewhat distasteful and unpleasant to many soldiers, in the first few months of their

experience, who subsequently came to appreciate the value and necessity of both.

On the 16th of September, 1862, the regiment embarked on transports and proceeded down

the river to St. Louis, but, being detained at Davenport and Montrose, did not reach its

destination until the 20th. The short march from the landing at St. Louis to Benton Barracks was

a severe trial to the endurance of the men. The weather was intensely hot and the march was

made too rapidly. The men were heavily laden with knapsacks, blankets, arms and

accouterments, and upon that four mile march endured greater suffering than upon a long day's

march thereafter, when they had learned to live without the things contained in those knapsacks,

which then seemed to be necessities, and to disencumber themselves of pretty much everything

except the rifle and its ammunition, and. A single army blanket. They were having the common

experience of soldiers at the commencement of their service, an experience which, alas, proved

fatal to many.

On the evening of September 21st, the regiment marched to St. Louis and going on board a

train of cars, (such as were used to transport freight and stock,) proceeded to Rolla, Mo., where it

arrived the next day and went into camp. Here the scourge of disease which attacked so many of

the men of the new regiments, and which in so many instances either proved fatal or unfitted

men for further service in the field, prevailed to such an extent that over 200 men of the regiment

were on the sick list. On the 18th of October the regiment moved to Salem, Mo., twenty-five

miles from Rolla, where it was assigned to a brigade of which the other regiments were the

Ninety-ninth Illinois and Thirty-third Missouri Infantry, with detachments of the Third Missouri

and Third Iowa Cavalry, and a section of the First Missouri Artillery, all under the command of

Brigadier General Fitz Henry Warren, formerly Colonel of the First Iowa Cavalry. Colonel

Merrill was assigned to the command of the post. Here the regiment remained until the 3rd of

November, when those of its members who were able for duty again took up the line of march.

About 200, including Colonel Merrill, were sick, and were left in hospital at Salem. After

marching thirty-two miles the regiment went into camp at Houston, where it remained but a few

days, when it marched about forty miles to Hartville, where it arrived on the 15th of November.

On the night of November 24th, the wagon train of the brigade, while moving from Houston

towards Hartville, guarded by a small number of troops was attacked by a considerable force of

the enemy, who killed and wounded a number of the guards and captured the remainder, and

then destroyed the wagons and such of the stores as they could not carry away. This affair

occurred only sixteen miles from Hartville, and the Twenty-first Iowa promptly moved to the

place where it occurred, but the enemy, being mounted, had disappeared. The regiment then

returned to its camp, having made a night march of thirty-two miles in nine hours. Early in

December the regiment returned to Houston, where it remained in camp until the 8th of January,

1863. During this time it became more efficient in drill, more appreciative of the necessity for

discipline, and in every way better fitted for the work which lay before it—an active and

aggressive winter campaign, in which the fortitude, bravery and endurance of men and officers

were to be put to the severest possible test.

On the 9th of January, 1863, General Warren received orders to send reinforcements to the

garrison at Springfield, eighty miles from Houston. About 700 men, consisting of detachments

from the Twenty-first Iowa and Ninety-ninth Illinois Infantry, (about two hundred and fifty from

each regiment,) and two hundred cavalry, with one section of artillery, all under command of

Colonel Merrill of the Twenty-first Iowa, were detailed for the expedition. Lieutenant Colonel

Dunlap was in command of the detachment of the Twenty-first, and, as the battles which ensued

were the first in which any portion of the regiment had participated, the compiler feels impelled

to quote his entire official report. While these were the first of the many hard fought battles in

which it was engaged, and in several of which it suffered greater loss, nevertheless, when the

greatly superior number of the enemy against whom it fought and the fact that its men and

officers had never been under fire are taken into consideration, it may truthfully be said that the

soldiers of the Twenty-first Iowa demonstrated in these battles that they were the equals of any

of the splendid regiments of Iowa that had preceded them to the field. Lieutenant Colonel

Dunlap's report is therefore given in full as follows:

HOUSTON, Mo., Jan. l7, 1863.

GENERAL: I have the honor to report to you the part taken by a detachment of the Twentyfirst

Iowa Infantry Volunteers, under my command, in the battles of Wood's Fork and Hartsville,

on the 11th inst. Perhaps these two engagements should occupy two reports, but, as they

occurred so near together, I have thought proper, with your permission, to combine both battles

in one report. In obedience to your order, I left Houston, with other forces under Colonel Merrill,

on Friday the 9th inst., at about noon, to march to Springfield, with the object of reinforcing that

place. The first night we encamped for a short time at Beaver Creek. At 12 o'clock at night we

moved on, and when within a few miles of Hartsville, we were drawn up in line of battle, as

information had been received that the rebel Colonel Porter had occupied the place the evening

before, and might be there yet. We remained in line of battle until daylight, when it was

ascertained that Porter had evacuated the town the night previous, We then moved on to

Hartsville, when we halted until the afternoon, getting a little sleep for the men, and a bite to eat.

At 3 o'clock P. M., we moved on towards Springfield, Colonel Porter being in advance of us,

and reached Wood's, Fork at dark, when we camped for the night in line of battle, At 3 o'clock

next morning, in accordance with orders from headquarters, I was ready to march. A few

moments afterwards firing was heard from the pickets, and word came in that a heavy force was

in front of us. I immediately got my command in line of battle, and ordered the companies to

send their blankets and overcoats to the wagons. I then sent out Companies A and B, under

Captains Johnson and Cook, respectively, as skirmishers. In this position we remained until

nearly daylight, when I was ordered to move my command half a mile in advance. I went down

on the double quick, and formed on the left of the road. The fight here lasted until 9 o'clock,

when the enemy withdrew.

Soon afterwards, with the remainder of the force, I commenced a movement towards

Hartsville, guarding the train as we advanced. When within two miles of the town, I was ordered

to form my men and bring them forward on the double quick. I did so, and arrived on the edge of

the town simultaneously with the Ninety-ninth Illinois and the artillery, on the brow of the hill on

the left of the Springfield road where the artillery was stationed, my left reaching nearly to the

Lebanon road. It was now nearly 11 o'clock (Sunday morning) when we got into line. My

position was a very favorable one, being on the edge of the hill descending into the town, and

sheltered by underbrush and small trees. The enemy's artillery opened on us immediately. I

caused all my men to lie down during the engagement, except a few skirmishers, and to do their

firing in this position, except when firing volleys or repelling the charges of the enemy. In a few

moments they charged on us in large force, and we repelled them with great loss on their part.

Several times, with short intervals they repeated the charge with reinforcements of fresh troops,

and every time they were driven back in disorder. Failing in these charges, they formed a line on

the opposite side of the town, so near to us that we could distinctly hear the commands of their

officers, and opened on us a brisk fire of musketry, their artillery at the same time pouring into us

a heavy fire; we returning the fire with the most terrible effect. In a short time, a large body of

mounted men poured into the town and made a charge, with terrible yells, upon our artillery at

my right. When they approached within a few rods, simultaneously with the Ninety-ninth Illinois

we poured into their ranks a full volley, causing them to reel and fall back in confusion and

disorder. We continued our fire with so much heat QS to empty many saddles, and create such a

panic in their ranks that they could not be rallied until they got over the opposite hill, nearly half

a mile distant. Their sharpshooters filled the Court House, and the dwelling houses in the town,

who became very annoying to my command. I sent a request to Colonel Merrill, to have the

artillery turned upon the town, but, not being able to find him, I ordered Lieutenant

Waldschmidt, commanding the artillery, to shell the town and drive the rebels from their hiding

places. He immediately commenced firing on them with briskness, and after a few rounds he

retired from his position, as I supposed to cool his guns or repair some slight accidents, but he

did not return, and, as I afterwards learned, he received orders to retreat by the Lebanon road.

The firing now ceased on my right and left and, as I supposed some strategic movement was

going on, I ordered my command to increase the vigor of their fire in order to attract the attention

of the enemy, while the remainder of our force changed their position. We kept up a brisk fire for

about half an hour, when, hearing nothing from the balance of our line, I sent out skirmishers to

the right and left to ascertain their whereabouts, and found they had retired from the field,

probably toward Lebanon.

I had received no orders and, being only 220 strong, in front of 4,000, I was somewhat

embarrassed as to the best course to pursue. To retreat then would be to disclose our weakness to

the enemy and expose us to destruction; to stay seemed like embracing death. I determined,

however, to hold my position until dark, or lose every man in the attempt, and in this I was

sustained by the whole command. I then extended my line as much as possible, by scattering my

men to the right and left with instructions to maintain a vigorous fire, in order to prevent the

enemy from ascertaining that our force had gone, at the same time pouring into them a hot fire

from the main body. After this the enemy made three charges on our front, in one instance

coming up in four ranks, but each time was driven back In a valorous manner by the Twenty-first

Iowa. They now withdrew to the other side of the town and the second time they formed a line,

not with as strong a force as before, how ever. My attention was now called to the hill beyond

their line, and, to my surprise as well as infinite delight, I discovered the rebels rapidly falling

back on the road leading north. First their train went over the hill, followed by long lines of

cavalry. Their retreat continued until sundown, by which time their whole force had gone, except

a light rear guard. I kept a brisk firing on the town, and a few moments before dark the rebels had

vacated the place and left us in triumphant possession of the hard fought battlefield.

Not deeming it safe or prudent to remain with so small a command in the vicinity of so large

a force of the enemy, even while they were retreating, I concluded to withdraw. When we

gathered up what loose things we could, about an hour after dark, I left the town and the scene of

our victory, taking the road to Lebanon, presuming that to be the way our forces had gone. There

was not a mounted man left with us on the field, nor a live horse to be found in the vicinity. My

horse having been shot in the early part o3' the engagement, it was impossible to send a

messenger to ascertain the whereabouts of the army. Believing, however that our troops must

have retreated in this direction, I moved on, hoping to soon join the main force. As the night was

cold, and our blankets and overcoats had been left in the wagons, we could only make short rests

until we reached the train. We continued to march on until 3 o'clock the next morning, when we

came up with or train and force, camped at Osap Fork, 25 miles distant from Hartsville. Finding

that the Colonel commanding had gone on to Lebanon the night before, I gave the troops a

couple of hours' rest and some refreshments and, taking command of the force, put it in motion

for Lebanon, which place we reached in the early part of the next day In conclusion allow me to

sum up as follows:

Between Friday afternoon and Monday morning, the Twenty-first Iowa Regiment marched

100 miles, fought two battles, one of three and the other of eight hour duration, during the latter

of which there was scarcely one moment's lull in the galling fire of artillery and musketry. And

for three hours, and until the enemy fled from before us, 250 of them held their position against

the combined force of the rebel 4,000 strong. Owing to the sheltered position that we occupied,

and the fact of the enemy firing over us, as the men were principally kept on their faces, the

number of casualties was comparatively small I make special mention here of no one as having

distinguished himself more than another. Every man was brave, cool and active, and every one

was a hero. Too much praise cannot be accorded to the men for their conduct during the whole of

this long and severe engagement. Annexed to this report, find a full and complete list of the

killed, wounded and missing of my command.

I am, General,

Very respectfully, your obedient servant,

C. W. DUNLAP,

Lieutenant Colonel, Commanding Detachment

Twenty-first Iowa Infantry Volunteers.

To BRIGADIER GENERAL Fitz HENRY WARREN,

Commanding Forces at Houston, MO. A

According to General Marmaduke's official report, the rebel force in tines battles numbered

3,000 men, while the entire force under Colonel Merrill's command was less than 1,000.

Considering the fact that this was the first experience of the Twenty-first Iowa under fire, and the

great disparity in number it may safely be said that nowhere during the War was greater heroism

displayed or more gallant fighting done than by the men and officers of the Twentyfirst

Iowa at the battle of Hartville. In his official report Lieutenant Colonel Dunlap does not

mention that he himself was wounded, but such was the fact, he g been wounded in the hand and

breast. In his complimentary order, General Warren says: "To Colonel Merrill, in command of

the force, I am under high obligations for his prudent firmness and good dispositions of his

troops. Nothing could have been finer than their steadiness and discipline. Lieutenant Colonel

Dunlap, Twenty-first Iowa, was conspicuous, much exposed, and wounded He is worthy of high

praise. 4

4 Report of Adjutant General of Iowa, 1864, pages 537, 8, 9. Official Report of General

Warren.

That portion of the regiment which was left at Houston, together with all the other troops at

that place who were able for duty, under command of General Warren marched promptly to the

support of Colonel Merlin's command upon learning that he had met the enemy and after a hard

fought battle was retreating towards Houston; but, upon finding that the enemy by a flank

movement was likely to fall Upon and capture the camp and military stores, counter marched and

returned to Houston, having marched through mud and rain sixty-four miles in twenty-four

hours. All these movements were alike creditable to the officers who directed and the men who

executed them. The loss to the Union troops engaged was 7 killed, 64 wounded, 5 prisoners and

two missing, while that of the Twenty-first Iowa was 3 killed, 15 wounded and 2 captured, about

one-fourth that of the entire command, which would no doubt have been much heavier but for

their strong and sheltered position. The rebel loss was very heavy, more than 300 killed and

wounded, including a large number of officers, among whom were three colonels of regiments. 5

5 Report of Adjutant General of Iowa, 1864, pages 537, 8, 9. Official Report of General

Warren.

Upon its return to Houston the regiment rested in camp until the 27th of January, 1863. In the

meantime, General Warren having been assigned to another command, Colonel Merrill

succeeded him in command of the brigade, which now marched in the direction of West Plains,

where it arrived on the 30th of January. A force of about 10,000 troops had been concentrated at

that place, under the command of Brigadier General Davidson. The Twenty-first Iowa was now

assigned to the Second Brigade, Second Division of the army, with Colonel Stone of the Twentysecond

Iowa in command. On the 8th of February the army took up the line of march for Iron

Mountain. The weather was cold the troops insufficiently clad; the shoes of many of the men

were worn out and they suffered as greatly as did the troops of Washington at Valley Forge, in

the days of the Revolution. The roads were in a horrible condition, and on many days the

distance covered was not more than five or six miles. Rations were scarce, and the pangs of

hunger were added to the other hardships endured upon this long march, which ended at Iron

Mountain on the 25th of February, where the troops went into camp and rested until the 9th of

March, upon which date the march was resumed, the troops arriving at St. Genevieve, on the

Mississippi River, on the 11th of March. Upon its arrival at that place, those of the enlisted men

who had broken down under their sufferings and were unfit for active service were sent home on

furlough, and, for the same reason, several of the officers received leave of absence. It may well

be said of those who had endured such great suffering and privation, and who, after a brief

season of rest, were ready to enter upon another arduous campaign, that they had become

thoroughly seasoned soldiers, endowed with that high degree of physical strength, endurance and

courage that enabled them to so quickly recover from the almost incredible sufferings to which

they had been subjected, —sufferings from which some of their less robust comrades were a long

time disabled, while many of them were permanently unfitted for further service. Some of them

died while on the way to their homes, and others after they had reached their homes; some

recovered and rejoined the regiment, while others, who survived, never fully regained their

former health and strength.

On the 26th of March, 1863, a detachment of the regiment, commanded by Major Van Anda,

embarked on transports at St. Genevieve, and proceeded down the river to Milliken's Bend, La.

A few days later two other detachments, under command of Lieutenant Colonel Dunlap and

Captain Crooke, on different transports, followed, and, on the 6th of April, all the men and

officers of the regiment who were able for duty were again in camp together. The Twenty-first

Iowa was now assigned to a brigade consisting of the Twenty-first, Twenty-second and Twentythird

Iowa and the Eleventh Wisconsin regiments of infantry, with Colonel Harris of the

Eleventh Wisconsin commanding. This was the Second Brigade of the Fourteenth Division of

the Thirteenth Army Corps. Brigadier General Carr commanded the Division and Major General

McClernand the Corps.

The great Vicksburg campaign was now fully under way, and in the subsequent operations

which culminated in the surrender of that rebel stronghold, the Twenty-first Iowa rendered most

conspicuous and gallant service. The full details of its movements and service in the campaign

can not be given in this brief sketch, but the compiler will endeavor to condense from the official

reports the description of the part taken by the regiment in the most important a its operations

and engagements.

On the 29th of April the regiment moved from its encampment to Hard Times Landing and,

on the 30th, embarked on transports and moved down the river to Bruinsburg, Miss., where it

landed and moved out on the road to Port Gibson. The road had been obstructed by the enemy

and the troops made slow progress. At 7 P. M. skirmishers were thrown out and at 1 A. M. the

enemy' pickets were encountered and driven in and, soon after, their skirmishers were driven

back upon their main line. There was some artillery firing from both sides and exchanges of

shots by sharpshooters, after which the soldiers rested in line of battle until daylight, Soon after

which the battle began. The par taken by the Twenty-first Iowa is thus described by Colonel

Merrill:

COLONEL: I have the honor to report that, in the late battle of Port Gibson, of April 30th

and May 1st, we lost in wounded sixteen men, including five non-commissioned officers. The

officers and men, with two or three exceptions, behaved wit singular courage and bravery. It is

known to you that we had the honor of being the leading column of this great army, and of

drawing the first fire at Port Gibson. At the Widow Daniel's plantation, some nine miles from

Port Gibson, we were ordered by General Carr to take the advance. I ordered Company A,

commanded by Captain A. R. Jones, and Company B, commanded by Captain William D.

Crooke, as advance skirmishers, commanded by Lieutenant Colonel Dunlap, supported by

Companies D and F, commanded by Major Van Anda; next was a 12 pounder field piece from

that excellent battery, the First Iowa; all supported by the balance of my command. I am happy

to report that in the skirmishing, of these companies singular fortitude and bravery were

exhibited during that long and tedious night's march and especially are Company B and Captain

Crooke deserving, of mention, as having received the first fire of the pickets and returning it with

great coolness. Our advance was fired upon by the rebel picket about one mile from the town of

Port Gibson. Our column was rapidly advanced, and soon received the raking fire of the enemy's

batteries, which were seven in number. As soon as the battery of the First Iowa could be brought

to bear, Company E, commanded by Captain Swivel, was ordered to its support. They have

received the commendation of all for their faithfulness. Sergeant B. Krist, of this company,

captured a rebel orderly while carrying dispatches.

General Carr next ordered a company to stand as picket guard; Company (commanded by

Captain Benton, performed this duty till morning. Next came a order for two skirmishing

companies to deploy in front of the enemy, and in fact between the enemy and our own artillery

firing. I called for volunteers from m four remaining companies. Captain J. M. Harrison, of

Company C, being the on] commissioned officer of his company, although advanced in years

and in feeble health at once volunteered to take the advance; and, with his company and

Company E commanded by Captain Voorhees, performed this dangerous duty faithfully. During

the severe and continued firing of May 1st, so generally and heartily were my orders obeyed by

officers and men, that I am at a loss to give particulars. Captains Boardman and Watson have my

warmest thanks. They are cool and brave officers. I can say the same of all the other officers

whose names have been mentioned. Many incidents of courage and bravery could be spoken of,

but it would render this report entirely too long. It is but just to say that the Twenty-first

remained for two hour in the rear of the Eighty-first Ohio, to support that regiment in making a

charge c the enemy's batteries; but for some reason, it was, I regret to say, abandoned. M

regiment remained on the field after all had retired, and it was nearly eight o'clock before we

camped for the night, thus showing that we were first in battle, and la to leave the field. I am

under many obligations to my field officers and staff for their faithfulness and aid. Lieutenant

Colonel Dunlap received a wound in the foot. My own horse was shot in several places, and a

portion of my saddle shot off.

All of which is respectfully submitted,

SAMUEL MERRILL,

Colonel Twenty-first Regiment Iowa Infantry.

TO COLONEL STONE, Twenty-second Iowa, Commanding Brigade. 6

6 Report of Adjutant General of Iowa 1865 Vol. 2. page 1121.

In his official report of the conduct of his brigade, at the battle of Port Gibson, Col. W. M.

Stone makes special mention of Colonel Merrill and the officers and men of his regiment, for the

brave and efficient manner in which they obeyed his orders. The loss of the brigade was 15 killed

and 79 wounded. General E. C. Carr, the division commander, in his report speaks in the highest

terms of the conduct of Colonel Stone and the officers and men of his brigade. He gives the total

loss of the division in the battle of Port Gibson as 263, killed and wounded.

Early on the morning of May 2nd, the regiment, in company with the other troops of its

brigade and division, took up the line of march in pursuit of the enemy. At Bayou Pierre a halt

was made until the bridge which had been destroyed by the enemy could be rebuilt. On the 4th

the march was resumed and the enemy followed from point to point to within seven miles of

Jackson, when the counter march towards Vicksburg began. More or less skirmish fighting had

occurred, in which the regiment did not become engaged, as it was not in the advance.

On the 16th of May the battle of Champion's Hill was fought. In this battle the division to

which the Twenty-first Iowa belonged was held in reserve until near the close of the engagement,

when it engaged in a movement to flank the rebels on the right; but, before the position to which

it had been directed was gained, the enemy had retreated, and beyond the capturing of a

considerable number of prisoners by the skirmishers of the Twenty-first, Twenty-second and

Twenty-third Iowa regiments, the division could not claim to have had active participation in that

hard fought battle. It had, however, stood ready and eagerly waiting the order to advance, while

listening to the roar of battle, and when it did at last receive the order, and promptly obeyed it,

the enemy had been vanquished and was in full retreat. Every true soldier will bear witness to the

truth of the statement that it is more trying to be held in reserve while a great battle is in

progress, every moment expecting to be called into action, than to be in the thick of the

engagement. In the one case he knows that his comrades are bravely fighting, while he is

standing idle; in the other, he has the stimulus of active participation, knowing that, whether he

falls or is spared, he will share in the honor of having bravely followed the flag. In both cases he

has fully discharged his duty, but he can not help a feeling of regret that the command to which

he belonged did not have its share in the glory of active participation in the battle, instead of

having been held in reserve. But there was plenty of fighting in the Vicksburg campaign to

satisfy the lust of battle in the heart of the bravest and most valiant soldier.

On the 17th of May, the Twenty-first Iowa led the advance in pursuit of the retreating enemy.

The retreat ended at Black River, where the enemy had taken a strong position and were

prepared to make a desperate resistance to the passage of that river. The part taken by the

Twenty-first Iowa in the battle which ensued is described in the official report of that gallant

officer, Lieutenant Colonel Dunlap, who, a few days later, gave up his life while bravely leading

his men in that terrible charge upon the enemy's works at Vicksburg. His report is here given in

full:

IN CAMP NEAR BLACK RIVER, MISS., May 18, 1863.

CAPTAIN WILSON, C. A. General:

I have the honor to report the position of the Twenty-first Iowa Volunteer Infantry in the

memorable battle of Black River bridge, May 17, 1863. The Twenty-first was formed in line Or

battle on the right, and immediately in front of the enemy's fortifications, with the gallant

Twenty-third Iowa Regiment on our right. Important maneuvering and skirmishing took place

from this position until late in the afternoon, when orders were received to charge, and carry the

enemy's entrenchments at the point of the bayonet. The order was obeyed. The right moved out

of the woods in good order, and charged on the run, across the open plain in front of the enemy's

works, a distance of about eight hundred yards, driving the enemy in utter confusion from their

breastworks and rifle pits, and entering in triumph the stronghold of the rebels. The enemy was

strongly posted on our right, as well as in front. The bullets came in showers from the flanks,

and, combined with those coming from the horde of rebels in rifle pits in front, made an awful

hailstorm, through which it seemed a miracle that a single man passed uninjured. Colonel

Merrill, commanding the regiment in the first part of the charge with devotion and bravery, fell

severely wounded, while gallantly leading his regiment against the enemy. The Twenty-first

captured a great many prisoners. This brilliant charge proved very destructive to the regiment.

and our loss was very heavy. An official list is herewith transmitted. Officers and men, with but

one or two exceptions, behaved coolly and bravely, and their conduct reflects great credit upon

themselves and their State, and creates a feeling of pride and gratitude on the part of their

friends. I cannot, of course, make mention of all those who distinguished themselves on that

battlefield, as that would be to copy the roll of all present Major S. G. Van Anda received the

highest credit for the coolness and bravery with which he conducted the charge, the left being in

front, through the storm of leaden hail. Much of the success of the charge is owing to his gallant

conduct and daring example. Captain Harrison was one of the first officers on the enemy's

works. Captains Swivel, Voorhees, Watson, Boardman and Crooke behaved with great coolness.

Lieutenants Roberts, Childs and Dolson received the praise of all who saw their bravery.

Lieutenant Howard of Company B, acting Adjutant, received a mortal wound while gallantly

performing his part in this gallant charge. We lost many of our bravest men; but it was a great

undertaking, and the object accomplished was the most important of the war. To Captain Wilson

and Lieutenant Jackson, of the Staff, too much praise cannot be given. Their conduct was brave

and noble, and they are held in the highest respect by every officer and soldier of the command,

for the faithful manner in which they performed their duties. 8

I am, Captain, Your most obedient servant,

C. W. DUNLAP,

Lieutenant Colonel Twenty-first Iowa.

The loss of the Twenty-first Iowa at Black River was 6 killed and 63 wounded. The troops

remained on the field until May 19th, engaged in the burial of the dead and collecting the arms

and other material of war captured from the enemy, and taking a very brief rest after these duties

were performed. The regiment then marched to the position to which it was assigned as part of

the investing force in the siege of Vicksburg. It had only become fairly adjusted to its position in

the trenches when the order came for that desperate and disastrous charge, on the 22nd of May,

1863, in which the valor and heroism displayed was not surpassed upon any battlefield of the

war. The gallant Lieutenant Colonel Dunlap was suffering from the wound he had received at

Port Gibson and might, with the utmost propriety, have refrained from participating with his

regiment in that terrible and—as the event proved to him and so many of his brave comrades—

fatal assault. His impetuous nature would not allow him to remain in camp while the brave men

and officers of his regiment were responding to the order to assail the impregnable stronghold of

the enemy and he followed, where his physical infirmity would not permit him to lead and, after

struggling up the height to the position which the regiment had gained but could not hope to

hold, he yielded up his life beneath the 'day he loved and honored. Major Van Anda, who had

been actively in command of the regiment from the time it formed in line for the attack,

displayed the highest qualities of a leader. His official report describes the conduct of his

regiment, and is here given in full:

8 Report for Adjutant General of Iowa, 1865, vol. 2, page 1122.

BATTLEFIELD NEAR VICKSBURG, MISS., May 25, 1863

CAPTAIN: I have the honor to report the action taken by the Twenty-first Regiment Iowa

Volunteers, in the battle on the 22nd of May, 1863 in the rear of Vicksburg The Twenty-first

Regiment received orders to be ready to charge on the enemy's Works, at 10 o clock C. M. At the

hour, precisely, I formed the regiment in the rear of the gallant Twenty-second Iowa, within

twenty rods of the enemy's rifle pits. In this position, we were partially covered from the enemy's

fire by the hill immediately in front of their works. I then gave orders to fix bayonets, and charge

by the left flank over the hill and into the enemy's rifle pits. During this charge the fire of the

enemy from both flanks, as well as the front, was terrific. Many of our officers and men fell on

every side; but, with a determination that knew no fear, the enemy's; works were gained, and

they were routed from their stronghold. This position we held till after dark, pouring continually

a destructive fire into their ranks. Being unable to hold our position longer, we withdrew under

cover of darkness carrying with us many of our killed and wounded. The loss of our regiment in

this terrible) struggle was sex ere. Many of our officers were either killed or wounded. An

official) report is herewith furnished you. Lieutenant Colonel C. W. Dunlap was shot through the

head and instantly killed. He was wounded at the battle of Port Gibson, and was unable to keep

up with the regiment, but came up after the charge. In the death of this brave soldier and gallant

officer, the regiment has sustained an irreparable loss Our total loss is 12 killed, 80 wounded,

and 13 missing, supposed to be killed or taken prisoners. Of the officers and men of my

command, in this terrible charge, I can only say that every man did his duty. Captain J. M.

Harrison, of Company C, was seriously wounded while at the head of his company, cheering on

his men. Lieutenant W. A. Roberts, Acting Adjutant, was dangerously wounded while driving

the enemy from their works. Lieutenant S. Bates, Company I, was left on the field and has since

been taken prisoner. Captain D. Greaves was seriously wounded while leading his company over

the brow of the hill, in the face of the enemy's fire. Lieutenant G. H. Childs, Jr., was wounded in

the breast, at the head of the regiment, his company being on the right. Many other officers were

wounded. How any man ever returned alive from that terrible fire, I cannot imagine. Company A

Captain Jones, and Company B, Captain Crooke, were sent out as sharpshooters, and did

effective service.

Hoping the conduct of the Twenty-first Regiment Iowa Volunteers, in this battle will meet

the approbation of the General commanding the brigade, I remain, Captain,

Your most obedient servant,

S. G. VAN ANDA,

Major Commanding Twenty-first Regiment

TO CAPTAIN WILSON, A. A. General, Second Brigade, Fourteenth Division. 9

9 Report of Adjutant General of Iowa, 1865, Vol. 2, page 1123.

The loss of the regiment, as stated in the report, was about forty per cent of the number

engaged. From the 22nd of May to the 4th of July, the officers and men of the Twenty-first Iowa

who had survived the assault and were able for duty shared in the hardships and dangers incident

to the prosecution of the siege, with the exception of a brief interval of about 48 hours, during

which they were engaged in a forced march to repel an expected attack of the enemy from the

rear, Which was not made. Upon that march they suffered intensely from heat and thirst, but

upon their return their hearts Were cheered by the glad sight of the white flags waving over the

ramparts of Vicksburg, in token, of the surrender of that rebel stronghold.

On the morning of July 5th, the regiment marched with the troops which composed the army

under the command of General Sherman, in pursuit of the rebel army commanded by General

Johnston. Its heavy losses in battle and from disease had So sadly decimated its ranks that the

Twenty-first Iowa now numbered less than 200 men able for active duty. The casualties among

officers ad been heavy. Colonel Merrill and Major Van Anda had both been wounded,

Lieutenant Colonel Dunlap killed, and the regiment was, for the time being without field

officers. The command, therefore, devolved upon the senior Captain, William D. Crooke, who

was soon afterwards promoted to Major, to succeed Major Van Anda, who was at the same time

promoted to Lieutenant Colonel. 10 There was but one other Captain—Jacob Swivel of

Company E—who was able to accompany the regiment at the time it left Vicksburg, all the

others having been disabled by wounds or sickness. On the 10th of July the regiment reached

Jackson and was assigned to its place in the line of investment of that city. It took part in the

operations of the short siege which ensued, during which it had one man killed, six wounded and

four taken prisoners. On July 17, Jackson was evacuated by the enemy, and the next day the

regiment started on the return march to Vicksburg, where it arrived—after an exhausting and

toilsome march—on July 24th. There it remained until August 13th In the meantime there was

much sickness which, in many cases, proved fatal. 11

10 See subjoined Roster, where all changes and promotions of Commissioned Officers are

noted.

11 Private History of the Twenty-first Regiment Iowa Volunteer Infantry, by Adjutant George

Crooke, page 115.

The subsequent operations of the regiment extended over such a wide extent of territory that,

to describe its movements in detail; would occupy more space than is covered by the Preceding

pages. The most conspicuous and important events during the remaining period of its service

can, therefore, only be described. On August 13th, 1863, the regiment left Vicksburg, and,

embarking on transports, was conveyed to New Orleans, where it arrived on the 16th and went

into camp at Carrollton. The change of location proved very beneficial to the health of the men

and officers. Early in September the regiment was conveyed by rail to Brashear City, about

eighty miles from New Orleans. There it remained in camp until the close of the month, and then

proceeded to Berwick City across the bay; halting there for a few days, it proceeded to Bayou

Teche, and thence to Bayou Vermillion. At the latter place it remained until early in November,

performing guard and picket duty. The health of the regiment continued to improve. On

November 7th it moved eastward, halting at New Iberia, Berwick City and Brashear, and

arriving at Algiers, opposite New Orleans, on the 21st. The next day it embarked on the steamer

"Corinthian" and, after a voyage of four days, disembarked on St. Joseph Island, Texas. During

these movements the regiment was under the command of Major Crooke. During its service of

nearly seven months in Texas the regiment was stationed at different places. In the winter of

1864 it was part of the time at Matagorda Island, Saluria Point, De Crow's Point, Port Cavallo,

Old Town, Fort Esperanza and Indianola. While at the latter place, on February 13th, a

detachment of the regiment, while on a scout, was attacked by a force of rebel cavalry and, in the

engagement which ensued, 13 men of the detachment were captured by the enemy and taken to

the rebel prison at Tyler, Texas, where they were confined until the following June, when they

were exchanged and returned to the regiment. On the 12th of February, while the regiment was

encamped at Old Town, (Old Indianola,) Colonel Merrill returned and resumed command,

although he had only partially recovered from his wounds and, in justice to himself, might have

consistently refrained from going upon duty in his enfeebled condition of health.

From the 13th of March to the time of its departure for New Orleans in June, the regiment

was encamped at Fort Esperanza on the desolate Matagorda Island, where it was engaged in

strengthening the fortifications and doing garrison duty. On the 10th of June the right wing of the

regiment, under command of Lieutenant Colonel Van Anda, embarked for New Orleans, where I

arrived on the 14th and went into camp. The left wing, under command of Major Crooke,

withdrew from Fort Esperanza on the 14th of June, (after destroying the fort, in obedience to

orders,) and, embarking, proceeded to New Orleans, where the regiment was reunited on June

18th. It then marched to Carrollton and thence to different points, performing provost guard duty

and protecting the railway until the 9th of July, when it returned by rail to Algiers and went into

camp. At that place the old Enfield rifles, with which the regiment had been supplied upon

entering the service, were exchanged for new Springfield rifles, which were then considered the

best infantry arms in use. Several of the regiments—with which the Twenty-first Iowa had long

been associated—had been ordered to join General Grant's army in Virginia, and had already

gone there, and the regiment was in daily expectation of receiving an order to follow them. In

this, however, it was doomed to disappointment.

On the 26th of July the regiment, under orders, embarked and proceeded to Morganza Bend,

where it landed the next day and was assigned to the Second Brigade of the Second Division,

Nineteenth Army Corps. There it remained, encamped in an unhealthy location, for more than a

month, during which time many were taken sick and, from the effects of which sickness, a

number of the men died. On the 3d of September, the regiment again embarked and moved up

the river to Natchez, thence to Vicksburg, and, on September 8th, disembarked at the mouth of

White River, Ark. A few days later it again embarked and moved up the White River to St.

Charles, where it landed on September 11th and occupied the fortifications which had been

abandoned by the rebels. There it performed garrison duty until October 21st, when it proceeded

to Devall's Bluff, remaining but a few days and moving thence to the mouth of White River,

where it remained until the 13th of November, when it again embarked and moved up the river to

Devall's Bluff. There it built log cabins for winter quarters, but did not occupy them but a few

weeks. On the 22nd of November it was ordered to Memphis, and, again embarking on

transports, was conveyed to that city, where it arrived on the 25th of November and went into

camp. On the 21st of December the regiment marched from Memphis, as part of an expedition

into the interior of Tennessee, accompanying a force of cavalry under command of General

Grierson, who continued the march to Nashville with his cavalry command, after leaving the

infantry at Moscow. No enemy was encountered on the expedition, and the regiment returned to

Memphis, arriving there on the last day of the year 1864.

On the 1st day of January, 1865, the regiment embarked on steamer, at Memphis, and

proceeded down the river to New Orleans and went into camp at Kenner, a few miles above the

city, where it remained until February 5th, on which date it embarked on an ocean steamer and

proceeded to Dauphin Island, at the entrance of Mobile Bay. On the 17th of March the regiment

moved from Dauphin Island to Fort Morgan, by steamer, and, landing there, joined the army,

under command of General Canby, on the march towards Mobile After a toilsome march, a

junction was formed at Fish River with the Sixteenth Army Corps, commanded by General C. J.

Smith. 12 The combined forces then moved forward. The objective points were Fort Blakely,

Spanish Fort and the city of Mobile. In the subsequent operations against these defenses of the

enemy, the Twenty-first Iowa bore an honorable part, as shown by the official report of

Lieutenant Colonel Van Anda, which is here given in full:

12 The Twenty-first Iowa had been assigned to the first Brigade of the First Division of the

reorganized Thirteenth Army Corps, commanded by General Gordon Granger. General Veatch

commanded the Division, and General Slack was in command of the First Brigade. Lieutenant

Colonel Van Anda was in command of the Twenty-first Iowa.

HEADQUARTERS TWENTY-FIRST REGIMENT IOWA VOLUNTEERS, NEAR

BLAKELY, ALA., April 11, 1865.

CAPTAIN: I have the honor to report the position of my regiment during the siege and

capture of Spanish Fort and Blakely, Ala. On the 26th of March, under orders from Brigadier

General Slack, my regiment was ordered to the advance of our division, and four companies

thrown forward as skirmishers, the remaining companies In reserve. We moved rapidly forward

for about three miles to the creeks, over very broken and difficult ground, when, observing

indications of the presence of the enemy, our line was halted to allow the column to close up.

About 10 o'clock, I withdrew the four companies of skirmishers, and sent out two others in their

place, formed my regiment in line of battle, and again moved forward, My skirmish line almost

immediately fell in with the enemy's advance, and was engaged until dark. Two of my men were

slightly wounded. About 8 P. M. I was again ordered forward, and advanced in line of battle,

preceded by two companies as skirmishers, under command of Major Boardman. About 9

o'clock we drew the fire of the enemy in our front, which was vigorously returned by my

skirmishers. In this advance I lost one man killed. Under orders from Major General Granger, I

remained in position on the field, and was relieved at midnight by the Forty-seventh Indiana.

On the 27th we moved to our position on the left of the First Brigade in the siege operations

against Spanish Fort, having closed upon the enemy, and our skirmishers under command of

Captain Voorhees having driven him into his fortifications. On the night of the 28th the enemy

made an assault on our lines; Captain J. L. Noble was near the line with a working party, when,

with great bravery and presence of mind, he rallied his men and supported the skirmish line,

driving back the enemy in great disorder. We remained in position, taking an active part in the

siege operations until the 30th, when we were withdrawn, with our division, to escort a supply

train for Major General Steele. I proceeded to Holyoak Mills and remained in camp there until

the 2nd of April, when we were ordered forward to Blakely. I moved at 7 o'clock P. M., marched

five miles, and bivouacked near the Biminet, 13 and at daylight on the morning of the 3d took up

position in the rear of Blakely, immediately on the right of General Gerard's forces. During the

operations against Blakely, my regiment entered the rifle pits on the night of the 7th, at dark but

met with no casualties, although our skirmishers and working parties were very much exposed

during the night, when the enemy advanced upon our lines, and my whole regiment was under a

severe fire from his artillery, which for two hours threw shells incessantly along our rifle pits.

My regiment was relieved at dark, and almost immediately ordered to the support of Major

General Smith's forces, in the contemplated assault on Spanish Fort. I proceeded to the Biminet,

and was then ordered back to my position behind Blakely, which I regained at 3 o'clock on the

morning of the 9th inst. My regiment, having been on duty nearly forty-eight hours, took no part

in the successful assault on Blakely on that day. I am under many obligations to the officers and

men of my regiment, for their soldierly conduct during the campaign. Surgeon D. W. Chase,

Acting Major J. Boardman, Adjutant George Crooke, Sergeant Major J. Dubois, and

commanding officers of companies, have behaved with much coolness and judgment in every

engagement. To the commanding general of the brigade and his staff officers, Captain Massie

and Lieutenants Curtis and Kinney, I am under many obligations for their uniform kindness and

courtesy.

13 Adjutant Crooke's History gives the name "Bayou Minette." "Biminet" is most likely a

typographical error in the Official Report.

14 Report of Adjutant General of Iowa, 1865, pages 281, 8.

I have the honor to remain, Captain,

Your obedient servant,

S. G. VAN ANDA,

Lieutenant Colonel Commanding Regiment.

CAPTAIN M. D. MASSIE, A. A. A. G.14

General Canby issued an order announcing the general results of the campaign, summarized

as follows: "The Capture of the enemy's works at Spanish Fort and Blakely; the surrender of

Mobile; the Capture of more than 6,000 Prisoners, 12 flags, nearly 300 pieces of artillery, several

thousand stand of small arms, and large stores of ammunition and other material of war."

From the commencement of this last Campaign to its close, the Twenty-first Iowa Was one

of the factors that led Up to the important results accomplished. Shortly after the fall Of Blakely

it marched into the city Of Mobile, where it remained but a short time, when it marched to

Spring Hill, a few miles west of the city, where it found a beautiful and healthful camping

ground, where it remained until May 26th, upon which date it again broke camp and, embarking

on transports, proceeded to Lakeport, La. From there it ascended the Mississippi River to the

mouth of Red River and debarked at Grand Ecore on June 5th. On the 21st of June the regiment

again embarked on transports and was conveyed to Baton Rouge, La., arriving there on the 23rd.

Orders were there received from the War Department, transferring the recruits, whose terms of

service had not expired, to the Thirty-fourth Iowa Infantry. The remainder of the regiment was

mustered out of the service of the United States, July 15, 1865, at Baton Rouge, La. The

regiment was then conveyed by transport to Clinton, Iowa, where it arrived and was finally

disbanded, July 28, 1865.

The Twenty-first Regiment of Iowa Infantry stands in the front rank of the long line of

splendid regiments which the State sent into the field to do battle for the preservation of the

Union. The valor and devotion of its officers and men were unsurpassed. Since the close of the

war its survivors have shown equal devotion to duty as good citizens. Its gallant Colonel was

twice chosen as Governor of the State of Iowa. 15 In the generations to come, those who can

trace their lineage to the men who belonged to the Twenty-first Iowa may well claim kinship

with as heroic a race of men as the world has ever known—the men who helped to save the

Government whose principles must, sooner or later, be adopted by the people of all countries

who are capable of self-government and appreciation of the blessings which it confers,—that

form of government that inspires its citizens with a patriotism like that which animated the

soldiers of the Union Army from 1861 to 1865.

15 Colonel Samuel Merrill was Governor of Iowa from 1868 to 1872.
