HISTORICAL SKETCH

THIRTY-EIGHTH REGIMENT IOWA VOLUNTEER INFANTRY.

The Thirty-eighth Regiment of Iowa Volunteer Infantry was organized under the call of the

President, dated July 2, 1862. The companies were enrolled in the northeastern part of the State,

mainly from the counties of Fayette, Winneshiek, Bremer, Chickasaw and Howard. The

rendezvous was at Camp Franklin, near the city of Dubuque, and there the companies had all

assembled about the 20th of September, 1862. The organization was not fully perfected,

however, until November 4, 1862, upon which date the regiment was mustered into the service

of the United States by Captain George S. Pierce, of the Regular Army. At the completion of the

muster, the rolls showed that the aggregate strength of the regiment was nine hundred and ten

men, rank and file. The regiment entered the service under the most favorable auspices. The

location of Camp Franklin—on the heights above the city of Dubuque—was an ideal one, both

of account of its healthfulness and the beauty of its surroundings. The quarters were comfortable

and the supplies abundant. The time spent at the rendezvous was improved to the best advantage

by both officers and men, and they had acquired a fair knowledge of their duties as soldiers

before they were required to take the field. Almost from the time it left Camp Franklin. however,

the favorable conditions, under which the regiment had commenced its term of service, were

reversed. A series of misfortunes—the greatest of which was its location in unhealthy localities

pursued the regiment, and prevented it from making a battle record equal to that of any of the

regiments which had preceded it to the field. It possessed all the essential elements requisite for a

successful career. There was no lack of courage of ability of the part of its Officers and men.

Indeed, their fortitude and endurance was severely tested in contending with the insidious and

relentless foe, which, in the form of disease, made sad havoc in their ranks. The compiler of this

historical sketch will endeavor to do justice to this splendid Iowa regiment, in the following

pages, by showing that it made the most of its opportunities as shown by the official records, that

it complied with all its orders and instructions to the letter, and acquitted itself in a highly

honorable manner, throughout its term of service.

1 Report of Adjutant General of Iowa, 1863, Vol. 1, pages x and xiv also 1863, Vol. 2, pages 228

to 258 inclusive, Original Roster of the Regiment.

The regiment left Dubuque December 15, 1862, and was conveyed to St. Louis, where it was

temporarily assigned to quarters at Benton Barracks, and was completely equipped for active

service in the great campaign which General Grant had inaugurated, and for the execution of

which the preliminary movements of his troops were then being made. It had been intended that

the Thirty-eighth Iowa should be sent to Helena, Ark., and orders to that effect had been issued

to Colonel Hughes, in compliance with which he embarked his regiment, on the steamer `'Platte

Valley," of December 28, 1862, and left St. Louis with instructions to proceed direct to Helena

and report to the commanding Officer at that place. These instructions were changed. However,

when the steamer arrived at Columbus, Ky., on December 30th, and Colonel Hughes was

ordered to disembark. his regiment at that place and proceed to Union City, then threatened with

attack by a force of rebels. The order was promptly obeyed, but before the arrival of the regiment

at Union City, of the evening of December 31st, the enemy had withdrawn and Colonel Hughes

was ordered to return to Columbus and there re-embark. his regiment, and proceed at once to

New Madrid and take possession of that place, which had recently been evacuated. This order

was also promptly obeyed, the. regiment arriving. at New Madrid of January 2, 1863.

When that place was evacuated, the barracks had been burned, the guns dismounted and

spiked and their carriages burned. The magazine had also been destroyed. Under the instructions

received, all these damages were repaired. The officers and men of the Thirty-eighth Iowa,

exerting themselves to the utmost. succeeded in restoring the place to its former good condition

for defense. The regiment constituted the garrison; at New Madrid, discharging its duties

faithfully and to the entire satisfaction of General Curtis, the department commander. On June 7,

1863, it was relieved and ordered to John General Grant's army, then actively engaged in the

siege of Vicksburg. The regiment embarked of the steamer "Daniel G. Taylor," and proceeded

down the Mississippi and up the Yazoo River to Sherman's Landing, where it arrived on June

11th and was ordered to report at Young's Point, where it arrived of the same day. On June 12th,

the regiment marched to Warrenton, where it crossed the river on the 14th, and of the 16th

arrived in front of the enemy's works. The regiment had been assigned to the First Brigade,

Second Division, Thirteenth Army corps and its position was upon the extreme left of the line of

investment. The location proved to be an extremely unfortunate one, being upon the border of a

swamp, the putrid waters of which exhaled a poisonous odor, which contaminated the air and

was the direct cause of the sickness which; subsequently decimated the ranks of the regiment.

The Thirty-eighth Iowa performed its full share of arduous duty from the time it became a

part of the investing force until the surrender of Vicksburg, on the 4th of July, 1863. The weather

was extremely hot, and the heavy labor of constructing earth works, digging trenches and rifle

pits - continued from day to day, as the lines were steadily advanced around the doomed city -

was enough to test the strength and endurance of the men to the limit. It was not the exhausting

labor, however, but the conditions under which it was performed - the heat, lack of pure water,

and the poisonous odors inhaled - that caused such disastrous results. The casualties of the

regiment at the hands of the enemy, during the siege, were comparatively slight - one man killed,

one mortally wounded and one severely wounded. This is accounted for partly by the fact that

the men were protected by the works they constructed and from which their fire prevented the

enemy from serving his artillery with much effect and partly by the enemy reserving his limited

supply of ammunition, for the purpose of repelling the general assault which he expected, but

which was never made. The tremendous sacrifice of life and health, which constituted the Thirtyeighth

Iowa's contribution to the capture of Vicksburg, is shown in the long list of deaths and

discharges for disability contained in the subjoined roster.

The day after the surrender, (July 6, 1863,) the Thirty-eighth Iowa marched inside the

enemy's works at Vicksburg, where it remained until the 12th, when it embarked of transport,

with orders to proceed to Port Hudson and assist in the capture of that place. News having been

received that Port Hudson had surrendered, the order was countermanded, and the regiment was

ordered to join the expedition against Yazoo City, under the command of General Herron. The

transports conveying the troops proceeded up the Yazoo River, but the enemy evacuated Yazoo

City upon the approach of General Herron's troops, and the place was occupied of the 14th,

without resistance, the enemy retreating into the interior. The expedition returned to Vicksburg

on July 218t, and, of the 26th, the Thirty-eighth embarked on steamer "Lebanon" and was

conveyed to Port Hudson, where it arrived of July 27th, and went into camp. In a short time, the

officers and men of the regiment were nearly all incapacitated for duty by sickness. Both wisdom

and humanity required that the regiment should have been sent north after the surrender of

Vicksburg, and placed in some healthful locality, where it would have been possible for many of

those—who subsequently died—to have recovered. The camp of the regiment at Port Hudson

was enshrouded in gloom, of account of the constantly increasing sickness and the number of

deaths and discharges for disability which occurred there. Colonel D. H. Hughes—the

commander of the regiment—died on the 7th of August, 1863. He had shown himself to be a

most capable and efficient Officer, had cheerfully shared in the hardships and privations to

which his regiment was subjected, and had remained manfully at his post until stricken with the

fatal disease that resulted in his death, and that of so many of his comrades. His loss was deeply

regretted by the Officers and men of his regiment, by whom he was held in the highest esteem.

The terrible ravages which disease had wrought in the ranks of the Thirty-eighth Iowa are shown

by the morning report of its Acting Adjutant, of August 13, 1863, in which it is stated that only

eight Officers and twenty men were reported as being able for duty. There was probably not

another instance during the war, in which an entire regiment had been so fearfully reduced in

numbers without having sustained a proportionately larger number of casualties in conflict with

the enemy, or in which there were so many deaths resulting from sickness alone.

Reports of the lamentable condition of the regiment had reached the State of Iowa, and the

relatives and friends of its members implored the Governor to intercede with the War

Department for its relief, and also to send an agent of the Iowa Sanitary Commission, with such

supplies as were most needed by the afflicted men. The Governor acted promptly in the matter,

but, before the agent could reach Port Hudson, the regiment had left that place, it having been

ordered to Texas. He was, however, able to reach those of its members most in need of

assistance, who had been left in the hospitals, as shown by the following extracts from his report

to the Governor:

On the arrival of the sanitary boat. "Clara Bell," the Thirteenth Corps hospitals and camps

were furnished with vegetables in great abundance . . . .The Nineteenth, Twentieth, Thirty-fourth

and Thirty-eighth Iowa, I did not see, they having left for Texas before I reached New Orleans,

but I learned that all were doing well. . . . .and that even the neglected and wasted Thirty-eighth

Iowa was fast filling up, numbering over three hundred men for duty. 3 I ordered a large quantity

of vegetables to be shipped to those regiments. As I was - by a telegram from you - particularly

requested to look after the unfortunate Thirty-eighth Infantry, it is proper that I should make

some statement to show that your request has been regarded. Although—owing to circumstances

already referred to—I did not visit the regiment; yet I have been able to find many of its poor,

suffering members, and rendered them important relief, and have also reported the names of a

large number of that regiment who have died, which I have gathered at various hospitals along

the river. In order to reach the notice of friends sooner, I have sent these names for publication in

papers in districts where the regiment was mostly raised; but, owing to the fact that a very great

number died in regimental hospitals, while near Port Hudson and Baton Rouge, and the hospital

records having been taken by the regiments, when they moved, I could not get access to them. 4

3 This increase was caused mainly by the return of those who had been given furloughs, and who

had gone to their homes in Iowa, where they had rapidly recovered, but also included some who

had been the least seriously sick, and who had recovered in hospital The larger number of those

who had remained in hospital; however, had either died or been discharged on account of

permanent disability.

4 Report of Adjutant General of Iowa, 1864, page 767. Report of A. S. Maxwell, M. n., Iowa

State Sanitary Agent.

The agent further states, at the conclusion of his report, that many of the cases of the men

who died were pronounced hopeless by the hospital surgeons, and they were no doubt hopeless,

in so far as the best treatment they could have received in hospital would have availed to save

their lives. The influences of home, and the invigorating air of the north, were the only remedies

that could possibly have partially of wholly restored them to health. In a number of instances,

men had been started of their way to their homes in such enfeebled condition that they died while

on their way, soon after their arrival. One of the most difficult things with which the army

surgeons had to contend was the feeling of homesickness. When that feeling took strong hold

upon the soldier already suffering from disease, the combination was almost certain to prove

fatal. 5 The prospect of reaching home and friends often overcame, to a great extent, the feeling

of despondency, and was the means of saving a good many lives. The records of the War of the

Rebellion show that the casualties resulting from sickness were greater than those sustained in

conflict with the enemy, and this was the case, to a most marked degree, in the Thirty-eighth

Iowa Regiment.

5 Homesickness of itself constitutes a disease (Nostalgia), also sometimes Proves fatal when not

combined with other diseases.

The Officers and men of the regiment, who were able for duty, embarked on steamer August

15, 1863, and were conveyed to Carrollton, La., where they went into camp in a healthy locality,

and where many of those who had been absent—on furlough and in hospital—-returned and

reported for duty. of October 23, 1863, the regiment embarked of the ocean steamer "Empire

City ' and joined the expedition to Texas, under the command of Major General Banks. There

were sixteen transports loaded with troops, and the fleet was accompanied by three gunboats.

The fleet went to sea of October 28th, and, of the 30th, encountered a heavy storm, during which

one of the vessels foundered, but the troops which she carried were removed to the "Empire City,

and no lives were lost. of November 2d the fleet arrived off Brazos Santiago, Texas, and the

troops disembarked the next day. of November 6th the army moved forward toward Brownsville,

and camped of the evening of that day of the historic battlefield of Palo Alto. of November 9th

the army arrived at Brownsville and occupied that place without opposition, the rebel force

which had been stationed there having retreated toward the interior upon the approach of the

Union troops. The Thirty-eighth Iowa remained of duty at Brownsville for nearly nine months,

during which time it was engaged in the performance of garrison duty. There is no record of any

conduct with the enemy or of any event of special importance having transpired, either at

Brownsville or along the line of the Rio Grande, during this period of the regiment's service. The

only information contained in the records is embraced in the report of Lieutenant W. H.

Patterson, Acting Adjutant of the regiment; and this report is entirely lacking as to details, giving

only the outlines of the movements and operations of there regiment, up to the date of its

consolidation with the Thirty-fourth Iowa Infantry. The compiler has made diligent search for

other official information but has only found the reports to which reference has been made, and

these together with such unofficial information as he has been able to obtain, and which he

deemed reliable, constitute the data from which this historical sketch is prepared. The

presumption is that during its stay at Brownsville, and for the remainder of its service, the

percentage of loss from sickness was no greater than that of the other regiments with which it

was associated. The men had become acclimated, and were inured to the hardships of army life.

They had learned how to take care of themselves in camp and of the march, and were less

susceptible to disease.

The regiment left Brownsville of July 28, 1864, and, on the 31st, embarked at Brazos

Santiago, of the steamer "City of Richmond," and departed for New Orleans, where it arrived on

August 6th, and of the 7th was transferred to the steamer "Josephine," of which it was conveyed

to Mobile Bay. On August 9th the regiment disembarked at Mobile Point, in the rear of Fort

Morgan. During the siege of Fort Morgan the Thirty-eighth Iowa was engaged in the

performance of picket and fatigue duty, and, while thus engaged, sustained no casualties from

the fire of the enemy. Its position was well protected from the enemy's artillery fire, and was out

of musketry range. It performed its whole duty however, and is fully entitled to the credit of

having participated in the siege operations. Fort Morgan surrendered on the morning of August

23, 1864. The regiment remained in camp on Mobile Point until September 8th, when it again

embarked and returned to New Orleans, and upon its arrival there, was temporarily assigned to

the forces commanded by Brigadier General T. W. Sherman, in charge of the defenses of New

Orleans. A few days later, the regiment was ordered to proceed to Donaldsonville, La. at which

place it was stationed on November 27, 1864, the date of the report of its Acting Adjutant,

Lieutenant W. H. Paterson, to which reference has previously been made. At the close of his

report, the Lieutenant gives a recapitulation, showing the gains and losses of the regiment, up to

that date, as follows:

Officers Men

Original strength of regiment 39 876

Gain - added in field by recruits 0 112

added by promotion 9 0

added by transfer 1 0

total 49 988

Loss - killed in battle 0 1

died of wounds 0 1

discharged 20 110

deserted 0 18

died of disease 4 307

transferred 0 28

total 24 465

Aggregate at present date, (Nov. 27, 1864,) 25 officers and 523 enlisted men

An analysis of the foregoing table shows that, at the date of the report, the total enrollment of

the regiment had been 1,037, that its death loss had been 313, and that its losses from all other

causes had been 180 The mortality loss alone amounted to over Thirty percent of the total

number enrolled, while the aggregate number of its casualties constituted nearly fifty per cent of

its total enrollment. It will thus be seen that the regiment had, without having had the opportunity

to participate in any one of the great pitched battles of the war, passed through a most frightful

struggle with disease and death, only surpassed by those other gallant regiments whose conflicts

with the enemy involved the loss of so many lives in addition to those claimed by disease.

193.

9 Report of Adjutant General of Iowa, 1865, Vol. 2, page 1213.

On the 12th of December, 1864, an order was issued, consolidating the Thirty-fourth and

Thirty-eighth Iowa into one regiment, to be thereafter designated as the Thirty-fourth Regiment

of Iowa Volunteer Infantry. The Thirty-eighth regiment was ordered to proceed to Morganza,

La., and the consolidation was perfected at that place of January 1, 1865. There were a number

of the Officers of both regiments retained, and, after the new organization had been perfected,

the officers in excess of the necessary number were mustered out of the service. 8 The original

roster of the field and staff and Enlisted men of the consolidated regiment will be found

connected with the subjoined roster of the Thirty-eighth Iowa, thus showing the individual record

of every Officer and man who was mustered in with the regiment of who subsequently Joined it

as a recruit. A complete statement of the causes which led up to the merging of the two

regiments into one—including a copy of the order—will be found in the historical sketch of the

Thirty-fourth Iowa Infantry. contained in this volume.

The subsequent history of the two regiments, now united into one, is altogether an honorable

one. Soon after the consolidation it was ordered to New Orleans, and, upon its arrival there, went

into camp of the line of the Jackson Railroad, about eight miles from the city. Colonel G. W.

Clark. and Lieutenant Colonel Warren S. Dungan, of the Thirty-fourth, and Major Hinckley F.

Beebe of the Thirty-eighth, were the field officers of the consolidated organization; and Adjutant

Charles F. Loshe, of the Thirty-eighth, had been retained as its Adjutant. The Thirty-fourth,

having had priority of service, was conceded the title of the new organization, but, while the

Thirty-eighth had thus lost its identity, its officers and men went forward in the performance of

their duty, with a feeling of loyalty to the old organization in which they had endured so much

suffering together, and with the resolve that, in their future service, they would perpetuate the

good record they had made, and that their conduct should reflect honor upon the regiment with

which they had become associated.

Upon assuming command of the newly organized regiment, Colonel Clark. said "I think I

have now the largest infantry regiment in this department. It numbers in the aggregate nine

hundred fifty men They are nearly all present for duty, and in fine health and spirits. I am proud

of the regiment, and shall take pleasure in commanding it. Whatever we may be called upon to

do, I promise you we will do well." 9 The promise thus made was faithfully fulfilled by the

subsequent good conduct of the regiment, in the discharge of every duty it was called upon to

perform, as will be shown in the following brief sketch of its history.

On January 26, 1865, the Thirty-fourth Iowa was assigned to the Third Brigade of the Second

Division, Thirteenth Army Corps, and, embarking on transport, was conveyed to Barrancas, Fla.,

where it went into camp and remained for about five weeks, awaiting the completion of

preparations for the Mobile campaign. of March 12, 1865, the regiment, with its brigade and

division, moved to Pensacola, Fla. Lieutenant Colonel Dungan was at this time detached from

the regiment, he having been detailed as Inspector General of the Second Division, and attached

to the Staff of General Andrews, which responsible position he held until the close of the war. of

March 20, 1865, the regiment took up the line of march, with its brigade and division, in the

direction of Mobile, Ala. The progress of the troops was slow, much of the time being occupied

in the construction of corduroy roads, the route for the greater part of the way being through

swamps. Owing to the slow progress made, the rations were nearly exhausted before the march

was ended, and the troops suffered greatly from hunger. of the 2d of April the weary march was

completed, and the troops went into camp in the vicinity of Fort Blakely. Preparations for the

siege of that rebel stronghold at once began. The troops were placed in position, supporting the

batteries, and the bombardment of the fort was vigorously kept up until the 9th of April, 1865,

upon which date a general assault was ordered. The brigade to which the Thirty-fourth Iowa was

attached occupied the center of the line of General Andrew's Division, and made a most gallant

charge over that portion of the enemy's works in their front, and, notwithstanding the brave and

stubborn resistance of the enemy, the works were soon captured, together with that portion of the

rebel garrison. General Andrew's vision had taken possession of a line of works three-quarters of

a mile long lad captured eight hundred prisoners, together with their arms, battle flags a l the

artillery of that part of the line, and the ammunition magazines, to-"ether with all the supplies

and other property belonging to that portion of the rebel garrison. The Thirty-fourth Iowa, led by

the gallant Colonel Clark, was conspicuous in the charge, and sustained a loss of fifteen men,

killed and wounded. In the meantime, the assault was being made at all points of the line of

investment with equal success, and the rebel commander, realizing the futility of further

resistance, ordered the white flag to be displayed, in token l of surrender of the entire garrison,

and the Stars and Stripes were soon waving over the captured fort. That night the Thirty-fourth

Iowa was encamped inside the works of Fort Blakely, and the Newt day the Union 'day was seen

proudly waving over the city of Mobile and all the defenses of the harbor. Troops from many

States had taken part in the siege and capture of Fort Blakely, but none had borne themselves

more bravely than those from Iowa.

The great rebellion against the United States Government was now nearing its end. of April

19, 1865, the regiment moved to Mobile, and thence to Selma, Ala., where Brevet Brigadier

General Clark. was assigned to the command of the post until May 12, 1865, upon which date his

regiment was ordered to return to Mobile and embark. on transport, with instructions to report to

the General in command at Galveston, Texas. Proceeding to Galveston, the regiment

disembarked and marched to Houston, Texas, where it went into camp and remained until

August 15, 1865, upon which date the consolidated Thirty-fourth and Thirty-eighth Iowa

Regiment was mustered out of the service of the United States. Nearly three hundred recruits had

been assigned to the regiment, just previous to its muster out, and were ordered to be mustered

out with it, and, of account of this large addition to its ranks, the regiment had an aggregate

strength of eleven hundred and thirty-one men, rank and file, when it reached Davenport, Iowa,

of August 29, 1865, where it was disbanded, and its Officers and men returned to their respective

homes.

10 Colonel G. W. Clark was promoted to the rank of Brigadier General of Volunteers soon after

the surrender of Fort Blakely.

Thus closes the honorable record of the regiment. It had entered the service with high hopes

and aspirations. Its officers and men were imbued with an earnest desire to make for the

regiment a place in the military history of the State, of which they and those who should come

after them could entertain a feeling of just pride and satisfaction. In this they were not wholly

disappointed, because they could look back upon a record of as truly heroic service as belonged

to those more fortunate Iowa regiments which were more frequently called upon to engage in

deadly conflict with the enemy. The heroes of the Thirty-eighth regiment who gave up their lives

in hospital, the victims of diseases contracted in the line of their duty, and their comrades who

became disabled from the same cause, are as fully entitled to credit and honor as are those who

fell—killed and wounded,—on the field of battle. They will be remembered and honored for

their patriotic devotion to duty, and the Thirty-eighth Regiment of Iowa Volunteers will take its

rightful place in history alongside the other military organizations which the State contributed as

its quota of that Grand Army which saved the Republic from dissolution.
