HISTORICAL SKETCH
THIRTY-SECOND REGIMENT IOWA VOLUNTEER INFANTRY
On the 9th day of July, 1862, Samuel J. Kirkwood. Governor of Iowa issued the following
proclamation:
I have this day received from the Secretary of War a telegram, requesting me to raise as soon
as practicable, for the United States service, for three years or during the war, five regiments of
Volunteer Infantry. being a part of the quota of this State, under the late call of the President for
300,000 men. The preservation Of the Union, the perpetuity of our Government, the honor of our
State, demand that this requisition stall be promptly met. Our harvest is upon us, and we have
feared a lack of force to secure it. But we must imitate our brave Iowa boys in the field, meet
new emergencies with new exertions. Our old men and our boys unfit for war, if need be, our
women, must help to gather harvests, while those able to bear arms go forth to aid their brave
brethren in the field. The necessity is urgent. Our national existence is at stake. The more
promptly the President is furnished the needed troops, the more speedily will this unholy
rebellion be crushed, and the blessings of peace again visit our land. Until then we must expect
the hardships and privations of war. The time has come when men must make—as many have
already made—sacrifices of ease, comfort and business, for the cause of the country. The enemy,
by a sweeping conscription, have forced into their ranks all men capable of bearing arms. Our
Government has, as yet, relied upon the voluntary action of our citizens. But, if need be, the
same energies must be exerted to preserve our government that traitors are using to destroy it. To
simplify and systematize the raising of these regiments, I have assigned one to each of the First,
Second, Third and Fourth Congressional Districts, and one to the Fifth and Sixth together. This
will prevent interference in recruiting, and enable those from the same section to go to the field
together. Which District. will have its regiment first in the field? Places of rendezvous for the
different regiments will be designated when I receive notice of their destination. I will
necessarily be absent for some weeks at Washington. Meantime all information in regard to the
new regiments can be obtained from Adjutant General Baker, at Clinton.
1 Report of Adjutant General of Iowa, 1863, Vol. 2, pages 110-11.
Iowa City, JULY 9, 1862.
The patriotic sons of Iowa promptly responded to this earnest appeal Of the Governor. The
Thirty-second Infantry was one of the five regiments that were organized and sent to the field in
compliance with this call 0f the President. Recruiting began as soon as the Governor's
proclamation was published. Camp Franklin, near Dubuque, Iowa, was designated by the
Governor as the rendezvous Of the regiment. The ten companies were ordered into quarters as
fast as their organizations Were completed. It would appear, from the wide discrepancy in dates
upon which the orders were given, that some of the companies had been partially, if not wholly,
organized in anticipation of the call, as the dates of the orders ranged from July 3 to September 8,
1862. Upon the latter date the companies had all assembled at Camp Franklin, and, on the 6th
day of October, 1862, they were there mustered into the
service of the United States, by Captain
2
George S. Pierce, of the Regular Army, and the organization of the regiment was completed by
the muster in of the field and staff officers on the same date.
Colonel John Scott had resigned the office of Lieutenant Colonel of the Third Iowa Infantry,
upon being tendered the appointment—by Governor Kirkwood—of the office of Colonel of the
Thirty-second Infantry. Upon the recommendation of Colonel Scott, the Governor appointed
Edward H. Mix, Lieutenant Colonel, and Gustavus A. Eberhart, Major, of the regiment. These
officers had all had the benefit of experience as soldiers in one of the first regiments that the
State had sent into the field (the Third Iowa Infantry), and had fully demonstrated their fitness
and capacity to properly discharge the duties of their respective offices. The staff officers were
all men of high character and ability, and the regiment was fortunate in their selection. The same
may be said of the company officers. An examination of the roster of the Thirty-second Iowa
will show that the average age of both officers and men was greater than that of the earlier
regiments, and there was a proportionately larger number of married men among them. The
records show that there was an aggregate number of 925 men and officers in the regiment, at the
date of its muster into the service. 3 During its stay at Camp Franklin, the time was utilized to the
best advantage, and, when the regiment left the State, it had probably acquired a better general
knowledge of the duties it would be called upon to perform than most of the regiments which
preceded it had been able to obtain prior to leaving their rendezvous.
On November 16, 1862, the regiment embarked on transports and was conveyed to St. Louis,
Mo., and went into quarters at Benton Barracks. On November 25th, by order of Major General
Curtis, commanding Department of Missouri Companies B, G. E, H, I and K, with the
regimental headquarters, left St. Louis and were conveyed to New Madrid, Mo., and, on the next
day, Companies A, D, F and G, under command of Major Eberhart, were conveyed to Cape
Garardeau, Mo. From this time until March 4, 1864, the operations of the detachment of the four
companies under Major Eberhart and the six companies under Colonel Scott were distinct,
separate and independent of each other. The compiler is, therefore, confronted with the necessity
of writing a condensed history of the movements and operations of each portion of the regiment;
prior to the time it was reunited, and then taking up tile history of the regiment as a whole,
during the remainder of its term of service. To do this, under the limitation of space to which he
is subjected, becomes a difficult task. With the wealth of material at his command, it would be a
comparatively easy undertaking to compile a more extended history, but it will be his endeavor
to include in this condensed sketch the most important events in which the regiment, either as a
whole or in part, participated.
The compiler of this Historical Sketch can speak from personal knowledge with regard to the
eminent fitness of these appointments. All three of these officers had been his comrades in the
old Third Iowa Infantry. He had seen their bravery and efficiency thoroughly tested on the field
of battle, and, while he regretted to see them sever their relations with the old "Third," he was
gratified when these well-deserved promotions came to them. Every survivor of the Third and
Thirty-second Regiments of Iowa Infantry can bear cheerful testimony as to the high character of
these officers and their splendid achievements in their country's service.

Original Roster of the Regiment.
Upon arriving at New Madrid with the six companies of his regiment, Colonel Scott, in
accordance with his instructions, assumed command of the post. It did not take him long to
discover that, prior to his arrival, disloyal men had been favored and protected; that large
amounts of merchandise of all descriptions had been
distributed from New Madrid and had gone
3
beyond the Union lines, into the possession of those who were engaged in armed rebellion.
Negroes, who had escaped and sought protection of the Union soldiers, had been returned to
slavery. Colonel Scott did not believe in tile policy of conciliating those who were in full
sympathy with the rebellion and who were. active in their efforts to furnish aid and comfort to
the enemy. The most active of those rebel sympathizers was a man who was not a naturalized
citizen of the United States, and who claimed the protection of the British Government. The
General in command of the Department listened to the protests of those who wanted to have
Colonel Scott removed from the . command of the post and—strange as it may appear—seemed
inclined to.
On the 17th of December, a detachment from Colonel Scott's command, command of
Companies C and I, under command of Captain Peebles, made a reconnaissance into the country
west of New Madrid. The detachment was absent five days, marched about one hundred miles,
and captured eight prisoners and a quantity of arms and stock. It discovered no considerable
force of the enemy, and showed that the report that a large rebel force was moving with a
detachment from his command, embarked on the steamer "Davenport" and proceeded on a tour
of examination of the points along the river at which illicit trade (or smuggling goods into the
enemy's lines) was being carried on, with the view to prevent same, as far as it was possible to do
so with the resources at his command. On his return from this trip, Colonel Scott reported to
General Thomas A. Davies, at Columbus, Ky., who had command of the Military District of
Columbus, and who claimed that the post of New Madrid was included in his district, and was
supported in that statement by General Fisk, who was present and who had just returned from the
headquarters of General Curtis in St. Louis. Up to that time Colonel Scott had receive his orders
direct from General Curtis. General Davies stated that it was necessary that Colonel Scott should
at once abandon the post at New Madrid, and proceed with his command to Fort Pillow, which
was in danger of being captured by the enemy. Feeling that General Davies was his superior
officer, Colonel Scott took the precaution to request a written order, which was given, as follows:
Columbus, December 27, 1862.
Colonel Scott, Commanding Thirty-second Iowa, New Madrid:
Will you immediately proceed to New Madrid, burn the gun carriages and wooden platforms,
and spike the guns and destroy the ammunition totally. Take the same boat and proceed to Fort
Pillow, under convoy of gunboat, and report to Colonel Wolfe, commanding at that place.
Thomas A. Davies, Brigadier General.
Colonel Scott, having made personal protest against the necessity for this order, proceeded to
obey it, and carried out his instructions to the letter. He proceeded with his command to Fort
Pillow and reported to the commander.
4 Report of Adjutant General of Iowa, 1866, pages 297, 298 and 299. Statement of Colonel
Scott, showing the conflict of orders of general officers, the demoralized condition of affairs
which prevailed in that portion of the Military Department of Missouri, and the difficulties with
which he had to contend.
Colonel Wolfe, for duty. General Curtis censured Colonel Scott for obeying the order of
General Davies, and a Military Commission was appointed to investigate the matter and report
its findings to General Curtis. After a full and complete investigation, the Commission found that
Colonel Scott did right in obeying the order, that he simply performed his duty, and was
honorably acquitted of all blame. 6 The report was signed
by Brigadier General William K.
4
Strong, President, and Colonel Albert G. Brackett, Recorder, of the Commission, and the
findings were approved by General Curtis, and thus Colonel Scott was completely vindicated
from the unjust censure, not only by the Commission, but by General Curtis himself. It is the first
duty of the soldier to obey orders, otherwise it would be impossible to maintain discipline. There
were many instances in which subordinate officers yielded prompt obedience to orders which, as
subsequent events proved, were unwise and should not have been given, but the officer in
authority had the right to demand obedience, and those under his command were bound to obey,
no matter what their opinion might be as to the wisdom or unwisdom of the order. It will,
therefore, be seen that Colonel Scott simply acted the part of a true soldier, and gave a good
example to the officers and men of 0a own regiment, who, like himself, could not see the
necessity for abandoning the post.
The headquarters of the regiment remained at Fort Pillow until June 18, 1863. During a part
of this time Company B, with Captain A. B. Miller in command, occupied the poet at Fulton,
Tenn., three miles below Fort Pillow. Detachments were sent on scouts in the vicinity of the fort,
from time to time, acting in conjunction with the Second Illinois Cavalry, and occasionally these
scouting parties came into contact with the enemy, but the fighting which took place mainly
devolved upon the cavalry which proceeded in advance, the infantry following as a support in
case the enemy were found in considerable force, which was seldom the case. Garrison duty and
daily drill was the principal duty of the troops at Fort Pillow. On the 17th and 18th Or June,
1863, the six companies of the Thirty-second Iowa embarked on transports and were conveyed to
Columbus, Ky., at which place they went into camp and remained until January 21,1864.
On July 10, 1863, Union City was captured by a force of rebels; This place was twenty-six
miles south of Columbus, on the Mobile and Ohio Railroad. Colonel Scott received orders to
proceed with 0a command by rail to Union City, which order was promptly obeyed, but the
enemy abandoned the place and retreated rapidly before Colonel Scott's command arrived and, in
obedience to orders from General Asboth, the Colonel returned with his troops to Columbus. On
July 11,1863, Colonel Scott succeeded to the command of the post of Columbus. .At this time
Company C, Captain Peebles commanding, was mounted and attached to the Fourth Missouri
Cavalry, for scouting duty. Company E:, under Captain Jones, was sent to Fort Quimby, near
Columbus, and Companies H and K, under Captain Benson, were sent to Island Number Ten.
This left only Companies B and I on duty at regimental headquarters, with Captain A. B. Miller
in command, Lieutenant Colonel Mix being absent at that time, as President of a Court-martial at
Cairo, Ill. The service performed by Company C, with the Fourth Missouri Cavalry, was arduous
and important regiment was constantly in pursuit of roving bands of the enemy, engaged in
securing and forwarding conscripts to the rebel army, and in committing depredations upon the
property of loyal citizens in the surrounding regions. of Kentucky and Tennessee. These
expeditions extended over hundreds of miles and involved much hardship to the troops engaged
in them.
5 Report of Adjutant General of Iowa, 1866, page 298.
The two companies at Island Number Ten also made frequent expeditions upon both sides of
the river, in one of which John D. Baker, of Company H, was filled.
On January 20,1864, Colonel Scott received orders to assemble the six companies of his
regiment at Columbus, where they shortly afterwards embarked and were conveyed to
Vicksburg, Miss., where they disembarked and went into camp. General Sherman was just then
"completing his preparations for that remarkable expedition which penetrated into the heart of
the State of Mississippi and inflicted a telling blow to
the rebellion, in that portion of the South,
5
from which it never fully recovered. Colonel Scott's detachment of the Thirty-second Iowa was
assigned to the Second Brigade of' the Third Division of the Sixteenth Army Corps; Colonel
William T. Shaw of the Fourteenth Iowa Infantry was in command of' the brigade; Brigadier
General A. J. Smith commanded the division, and Major General S. A. Hurlbut was in command
of the corps. The army left Vicksburg on the 3rd day of February, and returned to that place on
March 4, 1864, having marched 328 miles. The troops had been supplied with but ten days
rations when the march began, and, after that supply was exhausted, lived upon such food as
could be obtained in the country through which they passed. This involved the necessity of
sending out forage trains every day, with large details to guard them; as the enemy's cavalry in
large force hovered in front and upon either flank of General Sherman's army, which was
composed of' the Sixteenth and Seventeenth Corps and one division of cavalry. There wee more
or leas fighting every day, mainly done by the cavalry which led the advance and by the infantry
which constituted the guard to forage trains. The troops had no tents while on this expedition and
suffered much from the inclemency of the weather. The six companies of the Thirty-second
Iowa, under command of' Colonel Scott, performed their full share of duty upon this long and
arduous march, but they did not come into contact with any considerable body of the enemy. The
only casualties reported were: George A. Tod, of Company I, captured. and Edward Flood, of'
Company C, killed, while engaged in guarding forage train. At the close of his official report,
Colonel Scott says: "The labors and privations of this expedition were borne alike, by officers
and men, with great cheeriness, and a capacity for enduring fatigue and exposure both gratifying
and astonishing."
The six companies of the regiment arrived at Vicksburg, on their return from the Meridian
Expedition, on March 4, 1864, and were there joined by the other four companies from whom
they had been so long separated. The reunion of the regiment was marked by the issuance of the
following congratulatory order:
6 Report of Adjutant General of Iowa, 1866, page 301.
SPECIAL Orders No. 17.
HEADQUARTERS Thirty-second Iowa Infantry,
In the Field, in rear of Vicksburg, Miss.,
March 6, 1864.
I. For a length of time nearly equal to one-half the period of its enlistment, the unity of the
Thirty-second Iowa Volunteer Infantry has been broken. This was deplored by us all, and, none
the less so, that all efforts to overcome our unhappy separation were unavailing. Although such
disposition of our regiment was well calculated to discourage effort and to demoralize the
command, It must be apparent to all that the pride and spirit of the officers and men composing
this regiment are not yet destroyed. Not only is this true, but all may justly feel that a double
labor has been performed, that each broken part has done the complete work of an entire
regiment, and has done it well.
II. The Colonel commanding congratulates that portion of the command with which he has
shared labor and hardship, as well as more monotonous duty, upon the cheerful manner in which
trials have been endured and toils performed, and upon the important results and honors achieved
during the notable expedition to the heart of the enemy's country, from which we have just
returned.

III. Section 2, of Special Orders No. 22, from the headquarters of General Davidson's Cavalry
Division, of date January 30, 1864, relative to the conduct and bearing of the detachment under
command or Major Eberhart, is made part of this order, and is as follows:
"In relieving this detachment from duty with the cavalry division, the General commanding
cannot forbear expressing kits high appreciation of. the soldierly qualities they have exhibited,
and the valuable services they have rendered while under his command. Although infantry, they
have accompanied the march of, the cavalry division for a distance of over four hundred miles,
shared in its privations and tolls without a murmur, and finally taken a noble part in its
engagements and victories. The mission of the detachment With the cavalry division is
accomplished, and it is now about to enter upon a new field of operations, but, wherever it may
go, it will be followed by the best wishes and kindest regards of the troops with whom it has
served so faithfully and well."
IV. Amidst the happiness attendant upon so pleasant an occasion as the uniting of the command,
and, glowing With anticipation of usefulness and honor in our renewed strength, let us cherish
the memory of our deceased comrades in arms, whose absence from our ranks is all that mars our
present Joy.
BY order of
JOHN SCOTT, Colonel Commanding Regiment.

8 Report of Adjutant General of Iowa, 1866, Pages 301 to 304 inclusive. Official Report of
Major G A. Eberhart.
The history of the operations of the four companies, under the command of Major Eberhart,
is embraced in the official report of that officer, and covers the period from November 26, 1862,
to March 4, 1864. Limitation of space prevents the compiler from quoting this excellent report in
its entirety, but, omitting details, such portions of the report as relate to the leading events in
which the detachment participated are here condensed, as follows:
Companies A, D, F and G, of the Thirty-second Iowa Infantry, under the command of Major
G. A. Eberhart, embarked at St. Louis on the 26th day of' November, 1862, and were conveyed
to Cape Girardeau, Mo. Upon arrival there, Major Eberhart—in compliance with his
instructions—assumed command of the post. The garrison at that time consisted of the four
companies of the Thirty-second Iowa, and Company D, Second Missouri Heavy Artillery. First
Lieutenant Charles A. Bannon, of Company G, Thirty-second Iowa, was appointed Provost
Marshal of the post. On December 27th, Captain Roszell, and Lieutenants Airy and Shannon,
with fifty men, were sent on the ferry steamer "Davenport" to Lane's Landing, with orders to
return by land, which was done, the detachment returning with several prisoners and some stock.
No casualties reported. During the remainder of the winter the four companies were engaged in
the usual duties of troops in garrison, and no event of special interest occurred. On March 10,
1863, the garrison was relieved by the First Nebraska Infantry, and, at the same time, Major
Eberhart received orders to march with his command to
Bloomfield, Mo., and report to General
7
John McNiel. He reached that place—in company with other troops—on March 17th, remaining
there until April 21st, upon which date the entire force (consisting of two regiments of cavalry,
one battery of artillery and the four companies of the Thirty-second Iowa) marched from
Bloomfield, with orders to proceed to Dallas and there await further orders. On April 21st the
detachment marched thirty mile", on the 22d continued the march, crossing a swamp a mile
wide, with water half-leg deep, and, after marching sixteen miles, reached Dallas, only to find
that the rebel General Marmaduke, with a strong force was then marching in the direction of
Cape Girardeau, and it became necessary for the troops to return to that place for the purpose of
reinforcing the garrison. It will thus be seen that the hard march to which the command of Major
Eberhart had been subjected might just as well have been avoided, for he was required to make a
forced march back to Cape Girardeau, reaching that place on April 24th, just in time to take part
in defending the post against the attack of the enemy. On the morning of April 25th the enemy
appeared and advanced to the attack-, opening with artillery, which was promptly responded to
by the field batteries and heavy guns within the fort. The fight was mainly an artillery duel,
which lasted until 2 o'clock P. M., when the enemy withdrew, without having attempted to carry
the fort by direct assault During the action the four companies of the Thirty-second Iowa
supported a battery stationed on the right. The only casualty sustained by the detachment was
one man captured while on picket duty.
On April 28, 1863, the detachment marched with the Thirty-seventh Illinois Infantry from
Cape Girardeau, with orders to report to General McNeil at Bloomfield. The march began at 5 P.
M. and was continued, without going into camp, until 8 P. M. of the 29th, the distance covered
being fifty miles. From April 30th to May 4th the detachment was engaged, with other troops, in
completing the bridge over Castor River after which it returned to Cape Girardeau and remained
there until July 11th. On July 4th the men were supplied with Enfield rifles, in exchange for the
old Prussian muskets with which they had previously been armed. These four companies of the
Thirty-second Iowa were now about to enter upon a campaign in which the fortitude and
endurance of their officers and men were to be put to the severest test They were now placed
under the orders of Brigadier General Davidson, who had been assigned to the command of the
District of Southeast Missouri, and on July 11th, the detachment again took up the line of march
for Bloomfield and, upon its arrival there, was engaged in building fortifications until July 19th.
Upon the completion of this severe labor, and without being given an opportunity to rest, the
detachment was ordered to join the reserve brigade of the First Cavalry Division, and at once
started on the march to Arkansas as guard to the supply train. For ten days the rapid march was
continued the troops suffering greatly from the heat and scarcity of water. Upon reaching
Wittsburg, on the Saint Francois River, the command was halted for a two days' rest, when the
march was resumed and kept up until the Saint Anguille River was reached, when another halt of
two days was made, to forward supply train to Helena, when the command pushed on-to
Clarendon arriving there on the 8th of August.
On August 12, 1863, Major Eberhart was ordered to accompany the gunboat fleet on an
expedition up the White River. The detachment embarked as follow": Companies A and D,
Captain DeTar commanding, on Gunboat No. 6 ("Crickett"); Companies F. and G, Captain
Roszell commanding, on Gunboat Number 2 ("Marmora"). Major Eberhart accompanied Captain
Bache, U. S. N., (who commanded the expedition,) on board the flag ship Lexington.
The expedition left Clarendon on August 13th. At Des Arc a large warehouse—filled with
supplies for the rebel army—was destroyed and a few rebel soldiers were captured. The gunboat
"Cricket" was ordered to proceed twenty miles up the Little Red River in search of rebel
transports, with orders to return to White River. The
``Lexington" and "Marmora" continued on
8
their course up White River to Augusta, where, having learned that the rebel transports had been
sent up Little Bed River, they returned to the mouth of that stream and, not finding the gunboat
"Cricket," proceeded up the river in search of her. She was found about twenty miles up stream,
with two prize steamers which she had overtaken and captured at Searcy. Finding there a
pontoon bridge, Company A, of the Thirty-second Iowa, had destroyed it, while Company D had
deployed as skirmishers around the town. The destruction of the pontoon bridge left the rebel
General Marmaduke's division separated, only half of it having crossed the river and encamped
two miles from Searcy. When opposite West Point, ten miles below Searcy, on their return, the
boats were attacked by about three hundred of the enemy. The attack was mainly directed against
the prize "Kaskaskia," which was manned by one-half of Company D, of the Thirty-second
Iowa, under command of Lieutenant Templin. The boats were near the bank when the enemy
opened fire upon them, but the men had made breastworks of cotton bales, which proved a good
protection against musketry, and enabled them to inflict heavier loss upon the enemy then they
received at his hands. Company D lost one man killed—Private George H. Fox—and five men
wounded. The enemy was driven off with a loss—as was subsequently ascertained—Of about
twenty-five killed and wounded. When within about twelve miles of White River the enemy
made another attack on the boats, but were again driven off, without further casualty to the
soldiers on board, while five or six of the rebels were seen to fall. The gunboats with their prizes
reached Clarendon on August 15th, where the detachment of the Thirty-second Iowa
disembarked, and Major Eberhart made his official report of the part taken by his command on
the expedition.
On August 16,1863, Major Eberhart was ordered to proceed with his command, in company
with the Thirteenth Illinois Cavalry, to Harrison's Landing, to cover the crossing of the division
at Clarendon. The troops landed in the evening and, after a slight skirmish with the enemy's
pickets, held the position which they had been ordered to occupy until the 19th, on which date
the detachment of the Thirty-second Iowa rejoined the division and, on the 24th, encamped
twenty-five miles west of Clarendon. On the 26th the detachment marched to Devall's Bluff, as
guard to the supply train, and returned with the train to the division, then in camp at Brownsville.
At day-break on the 27th, the detachment—conveyed in wagons—moved rapidly forward with
the reserve brigade of cavalry, for the purpose of ascertaining the strength and position of the
enemy at Bayou Metaire, 9 eighteen miles from Brownsville. The enemy was encountered within
four miles of the bayou. The detachment of the Thirty-second Iowa was deployed as skirmishers,
and, moving rapidly forward, discovered the enemy in retreat across the bayou and setting fire to
the bridge, which was destroyed. Skirmishing continued across the bayou until sundown, when
the detachment returned with the cavalry to Brownsville. The loss of the Thirty-second Iowa in
this skirmish was one man killed—Private Robert Atkinson of Company D—and two men
wounded.
9 The compiler finds that In other official reports notably those of the First Iowa Cavalry—this
word Is spelled 'Metoe." He quotes It here, however, as he finds It In Major Eberhart's report.
There was probably not another infantry command in the Union army that had been subjected
to such an experience as that which befell those four companies of the Thirty-second Iowa
Infantry. They had marched and kept up with a cavalry division for over four hundred miles, and
it would not have been a matter for surprise if none of their officers or men had been able for
duty after such exhausting work. They had also done their share of what fighting had been done,
but their losses in battle had been slight, as compared with the casualties resulting from exposure
and hard marching. Major Eberhart says in his report that,
on the 1st of September, 1863, there
9
were but fifty men of the four companies who were able for duty, and that a few days later, when
he was ordered to proceed to Little Rock, he had but forty men in his command who were really
able to march. At that time there were one thousand two hundred Union soldiers In hospital at
Brownsville. On September 10th and 11th all the sick who were able to be moved were
"conveyed from Brownsville to Little Rock, and the detachment of the Thirty-second Iowa
accompanied them. There were many deaths among those left at Brownsville, and the mortality
was almost as great among those who were removed to Little Rock, on account of the added
suffering which they endured while being removed to that place." 10
On October 16th the detachment moved with the brigade to Benton. twenty-five miles south
of Little Rock, where it remained until December 21st, when it returned to Little Rock. The
health of the men was greatly improved during their stay at Little Rock and Benton, and quite a
number of the men who had been sick in hospital, and others who had been absent of furlough,
returned and reported for duty, and the strength of the detachment was thus considerably
increased. During the latter part of December the weather became exceedingly cold and the
Arkansas River was frozen over, and ice being solid enough to enable the men to cross the river
upon it. Nevertheless, the Union soldiers, being used to the long, cold winters of the Northern
States, were much better able to endure such weather—even with the insufficient shelter of their
tents—than the exceedingly hot weather of the previous summer, combined with malaria arising
from the Southern swamps, and the health of the men continued to improve.
On January 29, 1864, Major Eberhart received orders to proceed with his command to
Memphis, Tenn., and report to the commanding officer at that place. The detachment left Little
Rock of January 31st, was conveyed by railroad to Devall's Bluff, and thence to Memphis by
steamer, arriving at the latter place February 6th. Orders were there received to proceed by
steamer to Vicksburg and report to General A. J. Smith, commanding Third Division,
Sixteenth Army Corps. That Division and Corps being absent of the Meridian Expedition at the
time the detachment reached Vicksburg (February 9th) Major Eberhart was ordered to proceed
with the four companies of the Thirty second Iowa, to Black River, and there await the return of
the other six companies of the regiment.
On the 4th of March, 1864, the regiment was reunited—as previously described in this
sketch—and the compiler will now proceed to give a condensed history of its operations as a
complete organization, during the remainder of its term of service.
On March 9, 1864, the Thirty-second Iowa, with its brigade and division, embarked of
transports and proceeded to the mouth of Red River. There were nineteen transports conveying
General A. J. Smith's Division of the Sixteenth Corps, consisting of about ten thousand infantry
and three batteries of artillery. A fleet of eleven gunboats accompanied the transports from
Vicksburg and, at the mouth of the Red River, they were joined by several larger gunboats. This
formidable naval force was under command of Admiral Porter, of the United States Navy, who
was to act in connection with the land forces under command of Major General Banks, of the
Red River Expedition. The fleet of gunboats and transports entered the cut-off, into which the
Red River empties, and into which the Atchafalaya flows, of March 12th, and passed down the
latter river to Simsport, where the troops disembarked. The survivors of those four companies of
the Thirty-second Iowa remember this Period of their service as the saddest in all their soldier
experience. There are many graves of their comrades in the vicinity of Brownsville and Little
Rock, Ark.
The regiment was now a part of the Second Brigade of the Third Division, Sixteenth Army
Corps. The troops composing the brigade were the Fourteenth, Twenty-seventh and Thirtysecond
Regiments of Iowa Infantry, the Twenty-fourth Missouri

11 Report of Adjutant General of Iowa, 1866. pages 305 to 331 inclusive. Official Reports of
Colonel Scott, Colonel Shaw and Lieutenant Colonel Eberhart. These reports, together With
others referred to in foot-notes, constitute the data from which the history of the operations of the
Thirty-second Iowa in the Red River Campaign was compiled.
At 6:00 4. M. of the morning of March 14, 1864, the Second Brigade was ordered to take the
advance, and marched rapidly in the direction of Fort DeRussy, the first objective point of the
expedition. The march was conducted with great vigor, and, late in the afternoon, the brigade
reached the village of Marksville, two and one-half miles from the fort, where Colonel Shaw was
ordered to detach one regiment of his brigade to act as rear guard of the division. The Twentyseventh
Iowa was. detailed for that duty. The other regiments of the brigade, and the battery, then
moved forward and soon came within range of the enemy's guns in Fort DeRussy. In his official
report Colonel Shaw describes the skirmish fighting which occurred, prior to the time the order
was given for a general assault upon the fort. Colonel Scott was ordered to take position with the
Thirty-second Iowa, of the right of the brigade, in support of the skirmishers of the Fourteenth
Iowa and the Third Indiana Battery. The order was promptly obeyed and the position gained with
but slight loss. The battery was returning the fire of the enemy's guns from the fort, and the
Fourteenth and Thirty-second Iowa had taken possession of a line of rifle-pits from which the
enemy's skirmishers had been driven, and from which an incessant musketry fire was kept up,
making it difficult for the enemy's gunners to serve their artillery. This preliminary skirmishing
was still in progress when Colonel Gilbert arrived with the Twenty-seventh Iowa, and relieved
the skirmishers of the Fourteenth Iowa, who had exhausted their ammunition. General Mower,
who had been directing the movements of the First Brigade, now joined the Second Brigade and,
placing himself at the head of the Twenty-fourth Missouri, ordered an immediate assault upon
the fort. All the regiments advanced promptly when the command was given. The Twenty-fourth
Missouri, led by General Mower in person, had the honor of being the first regiment of the
Second Brigade to plant its colors of the walls of the fort; the advance was, however, so nearly
simultaneous with the whole brigade that the different regiments reached the fort at nearly the
same time. At 6:00`P. M. the fort—with the rebel troops which composed its garrison—was in
possession of the Union troops. Near the close of his official report Colonel Shaw says, in part:
"My command had in twelve hours marched twenty-eight miles, fought two hours, and assisted
in storming and capturing Fort DeRussy." He commends the officers and men of the battery and
of each of the regiments of his brigade for the promptness and good order with which they went
into action, after the long and fatiguing march, and closes by saying: ``I am proud to say that not
a single instance came under my observation of any officer of soldier, attempting to shun danger
of duty during the engagement, and my opportunity was good for observing each regiment as it
came under fire."
The official report of Colonel Scott, as to the part taken by his regiment in the action at Fort
DeRussy, coincides with that of the brigade commander.

William T. Shaw.
Limitation of space prevents its insertion in this sketch. He commends the good conduct of
the officers and men of the Thirty-second Iowa, and, at
the close of his report, says: "With
11
devout thankfulness that the list is so short, I append statement of casualties." It seems almost
incredible that the regiment should have gone through the engagement without having suffered
greater loss than shown in Colonel Scott's report, but—as shown by the official reports of
General A. J. Smith—the entire loss of the two brigades engaged in the capture of the fort was
but three killed and thirty-five wounded, while the loss of the Thirty-second Iowa was one man
killed and two severely wounded. 13 The rebel garrison at Fort DeRussy consisted of but 350
men, and it must be admitted that, considering the great disparity between their number and that
of the attacking force, they made a gallant defense before surrendering the fort. The incessant
fire of the batteries and musketry of the two brigades kept down the fire of the rebels to such an
extent as to prevent heavy loss of the part of the Union troops.
13 War of the Rebellion Official Records, Series 1, Vol. 34, Part 1, page 305; also Report of
Adjutant General of Iowa, 1866, page 305. Reports of General Smith and Colonel Scott.
The prompt and energetic movement of General Smith's command had inaugurated the Red
River Campaign with an important victory. Had General Smith then been placed in command of
all the troops engaged in the expedition, there is every reason to believe that the disasters which
ensued might have been prevented. After dismantling Fort DeRussy and effectually destroying it
as a work of defense, the troops moved forward to Alexandria, La., where, in obedience to his
orders, General Smith awaited the arrival of General Banks with the other troops under his
command. The following extracts from the report of Colonel John Scott will show the
movements of the Thirty-second Iowa, from the date of its arrival at Alexandria to the close of
the battle of Pleasant Hill, of April 9, 1864:
Went into camp near the town of March 16th, and remained until the morning of the 28th,
when we started by the Bayou Rapids road, with rations for three days, to meet the transport at
Bayou Cotile Landing, above the rapids. Marched eighteen miles of the 28th and nine miles of
the 29th, reaching the landing at one o'clock P. M., where we remained until April 2d, when we
again embarked of transport, and, of the next day, landed at Grand Ecore. of April 1st had
battalion drill, with all the companies together for the first time since we left Dubuque, in
November, 1862. Remained in camp of the bank of Red River, one mile above Grand Ecore,
until the morning of April 7th, from which date. until the night of the 9th, the following official
reports will show our movements and attendant incidents. The distance from Grand Ecore to
battlefield near Pleasant Hill is about thirty-seven miles. The total number of the regiment when
it started of the march, of April 7th, was four hundred sixty-nine, Field, Staff and line. We
entered the battle with about four hundred twenty rifled muskets on the morning of April 7th,
moving from Grand Ecore, according to the order of march. for that day, my regiment was in the
rear of the brigade.
Everything progressed satisfactorily until about two o'clock P. M., when we encountered the
headquarters train of Major General Banks, entirely blockading the way. . . In this manner two
brigades, including artillery and trains, were delayed more than four hours, in the midst of a
heavy rain storm. Finally the troops passed by, in an effort to reach the assigned camping ground
before dark, but failed, and camped two miles short of the proper position; subsistence, and camp
equipage did not come up until the night was far advanced. of the 8th we moved forward twenty
miles, and camped near Pleasant Hill at sunset. For several hours had heard heavy artillery firing
some miles in advance. During the night our camp was overrun with stragglers from the front,
who circulated the wildest stories of disaster, and loss of men, artillery and trains. of the morning
of the 9th these were repeated and exaggerated. The road was seen filled with teams crowding to
the rear. Evidences of past defeat and prospective retreat
were everywhere viable. These were the
12
moral surroundings as my command was moved to the extreme front, and took position in line of
battle at ten o'clock A. M., relieving a portion of the Nineteenth Corps. My position in line on the
extreme left of the brigade was supported on the right by the Twenty-seventh Iowa Infantry, the
other regiments of the brigade extending to the right. My left, for some reason still unknown to
me, was without support, though threatened, and might be considered a key to the whole
position. I rested in the edge of a wood, in the rear of an old field, across which my skirmishers
occasionally exchanged shots with the enemy's pickets throughout the day, but without casualty
to my command. . . . . About four o'clock P. M. the activity of the enemy's skirmishers increased
and, in a short time, he advanced across the open space in our front, in heavy force, moving in
column by battalion, deploying as he advanced. My skirmishers were recalled, and my left
company, which had been thrown forward and to the left, to cover my exposed flank, was forced
back with some loss, and took its position in the line. The fire of my command was reserved until
the enemy was within easy range, and when opened was so destructive that he faltered, passed to
my left through the open space, and to my rear, losing heavily by the fire of my left wing as he
passed, but threatening to cut off my command from our main forces. I at once sent information
to my superior, and to the commander of the troops on my immediate right, of this peril to the
whole line; but, without orders to abandon my position, though very critical, I could do nothing
but change the front of my extreme left to face the new danger, and to protect my flank and rear,
if possible. This was done, and a well-directed fire kept up to the front and left, which kept the
enemy at bay. Meanwhile he was steadily pouring his columns past my left, and working across
to the rear of. my position, so that in a short time the battle was In full force far In my rear. In
this state of affairs I discovered that all the troops of my right had been withdrawn, taking with
them a portion of my right wing. Lieutenant Colonel Mix, in charge of the right wing, and
Captain Miller, commanding Company B, of my extreme right, fell, fatally wounded. My
attention had been chiefly directed to the front and left, as the most exposed directions, and I
only came to a knowledge of the retrograde of the right when the first three companies were
already gone. The timber and under-growth were so thick that I could not observe my whole line
from any one point. The movement was promptly checked, but the ground thus left vacant was
almost immediately occupied by the enemy, and a destructive fire opened upon us from a new
direction, rendering it necessary that it should be met by a new line, which was done. My lines
now faced in three directions. I was completely enveloped, without orders, and virtually in the
hands of the enemy, had he dared to close in and overwhelm us with his masses now around us.
This was my position until after sunset, by which time the enemy had left my front. Passing now
by my right to the rear, where the fight was still raging, and observing by the fire and cheers of.
our men that the enemy had been forced back of the left, and that our forges in that direction
could not be far distant, I moved by the left flank about two hundred yards to the left and rear,
where I met and joined our most advanced troops. My brave men were nearly out of ammunition,
which for the past hour had been well husbanded; they were exhausted but not dismayed, and we
felt that the battlefield was ours I enclose a list of the killed, wounded and missing, a total of two
hundred ten. . . . As we could not pass the picket lines during the night to reach our wounded still
upon the field where they had fallen, and were compelled to abandon them in the morning, I fear
the number of fatal casualties will exceed the number stated, and that of. those reported as
missing many are either killed or wounded. Our position was such that many of the wounded,
passing to the rear, must have fallen into the hands of the enemy. Lieutenant Colonel Edward H.
Mix and Captain Amos B. Miller fell at their posts, while cheering and encouraging their men. In
them, as also in Captain Hubert F. Peebles, Captain Michael Ackerman, First Lieutenant John
Devine, all dangerously wounded, and First Lieutenant Thomas of Howard, fatally wounded, I
mourn the loss of. good men as well as gallant soldiers.
The record of others is found in casualty
13
list in the body of this report. To Captain Jonathan Hutchison my special thanks are due, not only
for his gallantry but also for repressing reckless exposure among the men of his command. and
thus saving valuable lives. His son, a youth of much promise, was killed by his side, early in the
action.
14 The names of all the killed. wounded and missing, in this and the other engagements in which
the regiment took part, together with the names of ail who died from disease and of those who
were discharged for disability, will be found noted In the subjoined roster.
Then follows the long list of casualties, a summary of which shows that there were thirtyeight
killed, one hundred sixteen wounded and fifty-six missing; total two hundred ten. about
fifty per cent of the number of the regiment engaged in the battle." Many of those reported as
missing were subsequently found to have been either killed of wounded. In the official report of
the Brigade Commander, Colonel William T. Shaw, of the Fourteenth Iowa, mention is made of
the Thirty-second Iowa and its gallant commander, as follows:
I cannot speak too highly of my regimental commanders. of Colonel John Scott. Thirtysecond
Iowa, it is sufficient praise to say that he is worthy to command the Thirty-second Iowa
Infantry, a regiment which, after being entirely surrounded and cut out from the rest of the
command, with nearly one-half Its numbers either killed of wounded, among them many of its
best and most prominent officers, successfully forged its way through the enemy lines, and was
in line, ready and anxious to again meet the enemy in less than thirty minutes.
The total loss of Colonel Shaw's Brigade at the battle of Pleasant Hill was four hundred
eighty-three. The losses by regiments were as follows: Fourteenth Iowa. eighty-nine; Twentyseventh
Iowa, eighty-eight; Thirty-second Iowa, two hundred ten; Twenty-Fourth Missouri,
ninety-six. There were fifteen regiments belonging to the detachment of the Sixteenth Corps,
commanded by General A. J. Smith, engaged in the battle, with a total loss of seven hundred
fifty-three. It will thus be seen that the four regiments of Shaw's Brigade sustained nearly twothirds
of the entire loss of General Smith's command. 15 With a sufficient number of troops
under his command to have defeated the enemy, had they all been brought into the engagement
and properly handled, General Banks utilized only a portion of his army at Pleasant Hill, and
thus demon. strafed his unfitness for the command. He admitted to General Smith, of the field,
that the valor of the troops of the Sixteenth corps had saved his army. 16

The compiler has devoted so much space to the description of the part taken by the regiment
in the battle of Pleasant Hill, that it becomes necessary to more closely condense the history of
its subsequent operations. That event, however, is far and away the most notable and
conspicuous in the history of the regiment and, had the career of the Thirty-second Iowa ended
with the battle of Pleasant Hill, its fame as one of the best and most valiant of Iowa's military
organizations would have been fully established.
Early of the morning of April 10, 1864, General Banks ordered a retreat of the entire army to
Grand Ecore, during which the Thirty-second Iowa, with its brigade, was assigned to the position
of rear guard. From Grand Ecore the retreat was continued
to Natchitoches, and thence to
14
Alexandria. The enemy had followed closely. Colonel Shaw's Brigade still occupied the post of
greatest danger, in the rear. From Alexandria the brigade was sent below the town and occupied
a position near Governor Moore's plantation, where it had frequent skirmishes with the enemy.
of May 13th Alexandria was evacuated, and the army began its retreat down Red River. The
rebel army continued to follow closely, and there were frequent skirmishes. of May 18th a severe
engagement took place at Bayou DeGlaize, in which the Thirty-second Iowa and the other
regiments of its brigade bore a prominent part. The regiment was at that time under the command
of Major Eberhart, from whose official report the following extracts are taken:
At ten o clock A. M., my regiment was ordered forward with the brigade to engage tee
enemy. In the brigade we occupied the position of Third battalion; of the right the Twentyseventh
Iowa and Twenty-fourth Missouri, of the left the fourteenth Iowa During the first part of
the action, being of the second line, we were under a heavy fire of artillery. Some guns from the
Third and Ninth Indiana batteries being thrown forward of the left, the Fourteenth Iowa was
detached as support. At this time I received orders to move by the left flank Into the woods, but
the enemy having advanced so rapidly, as the batteries came out, brigadier General Mower in
person gave me orders to change front by filing the battalion to the left. which was done in time
to meet the attack . . . . The enemy was repulsed after a brisk action of ten or fifteenth minutes.
we were afterwards thrown forward into the woods, but were not again under fire. Owing to the
Intense heat and necessary rapidity of our movements, many of the men were entirely exhausted
and had to be carried from the field. officers and men conducted themselves in a creditable
manner during the engagement.
In this engagement First Lieutenant William D. Templin, of Company E, was very severely
wounded, four enlisted men were also severely, and one slightly, wounded." Major Eberhart and
the other regimental commanders were highly commended by Colonel Shaw for the prompt and
efficient manner in which they handled their respective regiments in this engagement.
On May 19th the brigade lay in line of battle all day and until two o'clock A. M. of the 20th,
when it again took up the line of march and, of the 22d, reached the mouth of Red River, where
it embarked of transports and was conveyed to Vicksburg, arriving there of May 24th. The
operations of the Thirty-second Iowa and the troops with which it was associated of the Red
River campaign will ever stand conspicuous in military history, for lofty courage, true devotion,
and that noble spirit of sacrifice which was shown under circumstances of the most discouraging
character. No troops displayed greater heroism during the War of the Rebellion.
17 Report of Adjutant General of Iowa, 1866, page 329.
On May 27, 1864, Colonel Scott tendered his resignation and severed his relations with the
regiment. Both officers and men regretted to part with their brave commander. In a short parting
address he gave his reasons for resigning, and carried with him the lasting friendship and good
will of those with whom he had been so long associated. The regiment remained at Vicksburg
until June 5th, when it again embarked and proceeded up the river to Greenville, Miss., at which
place, and at Point Chicot, Ark., the rebel General Marmaduke, with a considerable force of
infantry and artillery, was endeavoring to blockade the river, and had inflicted much damage by
his attacks of the Federal transports. Disembarking of the Arkansas side of the river, June 6th,
General A. J. Smith moved his command rapidly against the main force of the enemy. In the
engagement which ensued, the enemy was driven from the field with heavy loss. The Thirtysecond
Iowa, with its brigade, participated in the engagement and lost eight men, killed and
wounded. Having accomplished the object of the expedition,
the troops marched to Columbia,
15
Ark., and. taking transports there, were conveyed to Memphis, arriving there June 10th, and
remaining until June 24th, when, with its brigade and division, it started of the expedition to
Tupelo, Miss. Major 1 Eberhart had been promoted to Lieutenant Colonel and had been in
command of the regiment since the resignation of Colonel Scott. Colonel Gilbert, of the Twentyseventh
Iowa. had succeeded Colonel Shaw in command of the brigade. The Thirty-second Iowa
sustained its full share of hard service of this expedition, and participated In the battles of Tupelo
and Old Town Creek, under command of Major Hutchison, where, owing to its position in line,
its losses were comparatively light; but it obeyed, every order promptly and acquitted itself with
honor. Returning to Memphis, it remained in camp until August 4th, upon which date it started,
with its brigade and division, upon the expedition to Oxford, Miss., in which it again bore its full
share of hardship—marching in pursuit of the elusive enemy, with whom it did not come into
contact—and returned to Memphis at the close of the month.
On September 5th the regiment, with its brigade and division, embarked on transports and
was conveyed to Cairo, Ill., thence to Jefferson Barracks, Mo., and from there by rail to Mineral
Point, Mo., returning to Jefferson Barracks of September 29th. of October 2d it marched with the
army under General A. J. Smith, in pursuit of the rebel army under General Sterling Price. This
remarkable march extended to the Kansas line. There is no record of the regiment having come
into conflict with the enemy of this long march. There was a strong cavalry force which kept in
advance and did most of the fighting. The rebel army was driven Out of the State of Missouri,
the cavalry keeping up the pursuit as far as the Ozark Mountains, and the infantry returning to St.
Louis. of this remarkable campaign the regiment had marched seven hundred miles, and, upon its
return to St. Louis, of November 18th, many of the men. were almost barefoot. The hardships to
which they had been subjected were so great as almost to reach the limit of endurance, but they
were only allowed a single week in which to rest and recuperate before entering upon another
campaign.
On November 26th the regiment, with the army under General A. J. Smith, embarked on
transports and proceeded to Smithland, Ky., and thence up the Cumberland River to Nashville,
Tenn., where the troops landed on December 1st, marched three miles south of the city and went
into camp. On the 15th and 16th of December, 1864, the regiment—with its brigade and
division—advanced with the army, under Major General Thomas, to the attack of the rebel army
under General Hood. of the 15th, the Thirty-second Iowa, occupying the position of the right of
its brigade and conforming its movements to those of the troops of its right and front, advanced
in line of battle for more than a mile. It continued of the reserve line during the day and did not
come into direct conflict with the enemy. When the enemy's works had been carried by the
troops in its front, the regiment moved forward one mile and half and bivouacked of the field for
the night. of the morning of the 16th, the regiment—with its brigade—took the advance and soon
came within range of the enemy's artillery, from their second line of works. Here it was halted ~d
remained for five hours, awaiting orders. The subsequent movements of the regiment of that day
are described in the official report of Lieutenant Colonel Eberhart, as follows:
At three-thirty P. M. the right of the First Division carried the left of the enemy's works; we
then moved forward at a double quick over an open field, under a severe fire from artillery and
musketry, and in a few minutes gained the intrenchments, capturing about fifty prisoners and five
pieces of artillery. Some of the artillerists were killed as they were leaving the guns. Private
William May, of Company H, dashed forward and captured the battery guidon. The regiment
moved onward in pursuit, gathering a few prisoners, until we reached the base of the mountain,
when we received orders to halt. At dark, the battle being over, we were ordered into camp near
the mountain. Too much cannot be said in praise of the
conduct of the officers and men under the
16
heavy fire during the charge; every one moved forward with a determination to carry the works.
Where all behaved so creditably It is a delicate matter to make particular mention of persons, but
I presume no exceptions will be taken when I speak of Lieutenant W. L. Carpenter, Acting
Regimental Adjutant, who was, as usual, conspicuous for his brave and gallant conduct in the
action, and was among the first over the rebel works. Also, Captain Theodore DeTar, who, after
pursuing the enemy to the mountain, was wounded In the right ankle, making an amputation
necessary. This will cause the loss to the regiment of one who has always been esteemed for his
excellent qualities as an officer and a gentleman. First sergeant Daniel W. Albaugh, Company C,
who was killed almost Instantly by a minie ball, was. one of our best non-commissioned officers,
and was much loved by his company as an officer and comrade. They mourn his loss deeply. My
thanks are due to Major Jonathan Hutchison, for his assistance during the action. I cannot retrain
from mentioning Color Sergeant A. J. Wills, of Company G, who carried the standard. Although
once thrown to the ground by a glancing shot, he refused to give the standard to anyone else, but
made his way forward, and was one of the first over the works. Corporal Bell, of Company G,
who bore the regimental colors, was noticed for his bravery In action. I send you a list of
casualties In the regiment, which Is light, only because the artillery was aimed too high, and the
infantry were Intimidated by our rapid firing as we advanced.
The loss of the Thirty-second Iowa, in the battle of Nashville, December 16, 1864, was three
killed and fifteen wounded." It had nobly sustained its well-won reputation upon other fields, as
one of the best fighting regiments in the army. From the 17th to the 30th of December, it was
engaged—with. the other troops—in the pursuit, of the defeated and demoralized rebel army.
The pursuit was abandoned at Lawrenceburg, Tenn., and of January 1,1866, the regiment
marched to Clifton, of the Tennessee River, and, embarking there of steamer, proceeded to
Eastport, Miss., where it landed of January 6th and went into camp for a well-earned period of
rest.
On February 9, 1866, the regiment again embarked on steamer, was conveyed to Cairo, Ill.,
and thence to New Orleans, where it disembarked of the 218t and went into camp near the city.
of March 7, 1866, the regiment was taken of board of ocean steamship and conveyed to Dauphin
Island, where it remained but a short time, going thence to Donnelly's Landing, La., from which
it again took up the line of march and arrived at Sibley's Mills, near Mobile, Ala., of March 26th.
of April 3d the regiment again advanced with its brigade and joined the forces under General
Steele, then engaged in the siege of Fort Blakely. The Thirty-second Iowa performed its full
share of duty in the trenches during the siege, but was so well protected from the fire of the
enemy that it had but one man wounded. The fort surrendered on the 9th of April, 1866, and that
date marked the last conflict of the regiment. The great War of the Rebellion was practically
ended.

19 Report of Adjutant General of. Iowa. 1867, Vol. 1, page 186. Official Roster of Field, Staff
and Line Officers, at date of muster out.
On April 13, 1866, the Thirty-second Iowa started of its last long march, and, of the 27th,
reached Montgomery, Ala., where it went into camp, remaining there, and at another camp four
miles from the city, until July 16, 1866, of which date it embarked of steamer and was conveyed
down the Alabama River to Selma. From Selma it was conveyed by rail to Jackson, Miss., and
from that place marched to Vicksburg, where it embarked of steamer and proceeded to Clinton,
Iowa, where, on the 24th day of August, 1866, it was mustered out of the service of the United
States. 9 The personal record of every officer and
enlisted man of the regiment has been
17
transcribed from the official records in the office of the Adjutant General of the State of Iowa,
and will be found in the subjoined roster. It will be noted that but few of the officers and enlisted
men have received special mention in the Official reports, from which quotations have been
made in this historical sketch of the regiment. It will also be noted in the subjoined roster that,
aside from those who were killed, wounded, of missing in battle, of those who died from wounds
of disease, of who were discharged or transferred, there were a large number of enlisted men and
officers whose brief records show only continuous service. The compiler wishes to call especial
attention to the fact that such records show conclusively that the history of those men is identical
with that of their regiment. They may have been—and in most instances no doubt were—
engaged, with their less fortunate comrades, in the various movements and battles in which the
regiment participated, and the record of their service is, therefore, a most honorable one.
The survivors of the Thirty second Regiment of Iowa Volunteer Infantry may well feel proud
of the history which they, and their comrades who have answered the last roll call, were the
makers. Posterity will lovingly cherish the memory of the brave men who gave such faithful
service to their country in her time of greatest peril. The State of Iowa has performed a sacred
duty in thus providing for the permanent preservation of the history of her military organizations
and the personal record of her soldiers. The members of this splendid regiment, who were living
at the time of its disbandment, have made their impression upon the history of the State of Iowa
and of the other states of which many of them have become citizens since the close of the war. In
all the honorable avocations of life, as private citizens, and in the public service of both State and
Nation, they have distinguished themselves by the same devotion to duty which characterized
their career as soldiers.
