HISTORICAL SKETCH
SECOND BATTERY IOWA LIGHT ARTILLERY

    The organization of the Second Battery Iowa Light Artillery followed close upon that of the First. The records in the office of the Adjutant General of Iowa contain the following entry, appended to the roster of the company.

    "Enrolled in the counties of Dallas, Polk, Harrison, Fremont and Pottawattamie. Ordered into quarters by the Governor of the State July 4, 1861, and mustered into the service of the United States by Lieutenant Lewis Merrill, U. S. A., at Council Bluffs, Iowa, and St. Louis, Mo., August 8 and 31, 1861, under proclamation of the President of the United States, bearing date May 3, 1861."

    Council Bluffs had been designated as the rendezvous of the battery, but, as shown in the foregoing paragraph, its officers and men were not all assembled there upon August 8th, else they would all have been mustered in on that date. The organization must, therefore, have been completed on August 31st, at St. Louis, Mo. The original roster shows that the battery numbered eighty-nine men, rank and file, at the date of its muster into the service, but it subsequently received many recruits, as shown in the subjoined roster, which has been carefully transcribed from the official records in the office of the Adjutant General of Iowa.

    During the progress of the war, Adjutant General Baker endeavored to procure copies of all the reports of commanding officers of Iowa military organizations, as shown in the introductory article to this volume. The compiler of this historical sketch has used only official data, where it was procurable, but finds it somewhat meager in the case of this battery, only two of the reports of its commanding officers being found in the records. He has, therefore, had recourse to such semi-official and reliable information as he was able to procure, to supplement that which it contained in the official records. 2

    2 In his work entitled .Iowa In War Times," Major S. H. M. Byers gives a brief history of the Second Iowa Battery. At the commencement of that history the author says: "The writer is indebted to Judge J. R. Reed, of the Supreme Court of Iowa for the substance of the following sketch of the battery. Judge Reed was an officer of the battery and one of the most courageous and competent artillery commanders In the service." Quotations are made by special permission of Major Byers.

    A brief summary of the movements and operations of the battery up to the 1st of December, 1862, is contained in the following report:

    CAMP, SECOND IOWA Battery
    SIX MILES SOUTH OF HOLLY SPRINGS, MISS.

    DEC. 1, 1862.
    Sir: I have the honor to transmit the following very brief summary of the doings of the Second Iowa Battery. The battery receives Its armament at St. Louis, In October, 1861. On the 26th day of December, a second, under Lieutenant Walllug, was sent with General Schofield onto the North Missouri Railroad, returning to

Page 1726

Benton Barracks on the 20th of February, 1862. On February 26th, the battery went to Commerce, Ala., then to New Madrid, under General Pope. Participated In actions there on the 3d, the night of the 4th, and on the 13th of March. On March 18th, a detachment of the battery, under Lieutenant C. T. Reed, beat off five gunboats at Riddle's Point. Was engaged in April in the series of movements which resulted In the capture of Island Number Ten. Went down the river to Fort Pillow then up the Mississippi and Tennessee to Hamburg Landing, arriving at the latter place April 23d. With the Army of the Mississippi was engaged May 9th In the battle of Farmington, and May 28th, battle of Corinth. Followed the enemy to Booneville, Miss. At Rienzi during the summer, until August 18th, then moved to Tuscumbia, Ala. back to Corinth September 11th In battle of Iuka, September 19th In battle before Corinth, October 3d and 4th; In the pursuit of the enemy, under Rosecrans, until October 12th. The battery Is now In the Second Brigade of Ross' Division, Army or the Tennessee.

    I am, sir, very respectfully, your obedient servant,
    D, P. Walling, First Lieutenant,
    Commanding Battery.
    N. B. BAKER, Adjutant General of Iowa.

    It will be noted that the foregoing report was dated at Holly Springs, December 1st The battery was then serving with the army of General Grant, on the Mississippi Central Expedition, having Vicksburg for its objective point. The subsequent capture of his supplies compelled General Grant to abandon the expedition, and to fall back to the line of the Memphis and Charleston Railroad. During the remainder of the winter the Second Iowa Battery was encamped near Memphis, Tenn. Some of the details. not included in the report of Lieutenant Walling, pertaining to the engagements in which the battery had thus far participated, are here given, as related by Major Byers, in the history heretofore referred to, before proceeding with the account of the subsequent operations of the battery.,

    Immediately after the evacuation of New Madrid, Second Lieutenant Reed, with twenty-five men, was sent some distance down the river, to man some heavy guns. The guns had barely been placed in position, when five rebel gunboats came up the river and opened fire upon them. The fire was promptly returned, and a hot artillery duel ensued, in which the gunboats were badly damaged and were finally withdrawn. On May 30, 1862, in front of Corinth, when General Stanley's Division was struck in flank by the rebels and was at the point of disaster, while other batteries were giving way, in order to avoid being captured, the Second Iowa boldly held its position. and, pouring a destructive fire of grape and canister into the advancing column of the enemy, checked it and drove it from the field. For its gallant conduct upon that occasion, the officers and men of the battery received the special thanks of General Stanley. The battery again greatly distinguished itself at the battle of Corinth, October 4, 1862. Upon the evening of that day, when General Davies' Division was being driven back by the rebels, and when General Stanley's Division was sent to his support, the Second Iowa Battery was ordered into position just as the enemy was making a gallant and determined charge. The battery opened upon the rebels with canister, when they were within close range, and they were repulsed with heavy loss. The battery had thus far nobly sustained the glorious record which Iowa soldiers had made in every battle in which they had been engaged, and its subsequent history will show that the record was fully maintained.

    During the spring and summer of 1863, the Second Iowa Battery was attached to the Second Brigade of the Third Division of the Fifteenth Army Corps.

It was actively engaged during the whole of the Vicksburg campaign. The principal engagements in which it participated are noted, as follows: On May 14th when General Sherman's forces were approaching Jackson, Miss., the battery was ordered to the front, there being but one battalion of cavalry and one regiment ahead of it. It first went into position when the enemy was encountered about three miles from the city, and was the first battery to reply to the fire of the enemy in that engagement. A rebel battery had been placed in a position which commanded the road, and it was against that battery that the fire of the Second Iowa was directed, with such vigor and skill that the guns of the rebel battery were soon silenced and driven back to the main line of the enemy's works. The battery moved promptly forward, with its brigade and division, and continued to maintain its position as the leading battery, planting its guns where its fire reached well into the city, and keeping it up until the place was captured. It remained in Jackson until the afternoon of the 16th, when it took up its line of march for Vicksburg, reaching the vicinity of that place on the evening of May 18,1863, upon which date it became a part of the investing force engaged in the siege of the rebel stronghold. The position assigned to the Second Iowa Battery was known as the Grave-yard Road, within three hundred and fifty yards of the strong earthwork which commanded the road. The battery was constantly engaged in the regular siege operations, while in this position, and, in addition to its field guns, was supplied with a thirty-pounder Parrott gun, the fire of which proved very effective. With it, two of the enemy's guns, in the strong work which commanded the road, were dismounted, and on one occasion the fire was so severe that the rebel gunners were driven from their guns. They finally closed every embrasure in the fort and, for two weeks before the Second Iowa Battery was withdrawn from its front. not a shot was fired from the rebel work. On the 22d of June the battery was withdrawn from the line of siege operations and joined the force under General Sherman, which was watching the movements of the rebel army under General Johnston. 4 Captain Nelson T. Spoor commanded the battery until 1862, when he was detached as Chief or Artillery of the First Division. J. R. Reed was In command or the battery, as Senior First Lieutenant and Captain, from March, 1862, to June 9, 1865 He was promoted to Captain October 1, 1864. Lieutenant C. T. Reed was mustered out August 30, 1864, and Lieutenant (afterwards Captain) John W. Coons succeeded him In command. See subjoined roster.

    After the surrender of Vicksburg, the battery marched to Jackson and participated in the siege of that place until it was evacuated by the enemy, on July 16th. It then returned to the Big Black River, near Vicksburg, where it remained in camp until late in November, when it moved to La Grange, Tenn.. on the line of the Memphis and Charleston Railroad, where it remained until the following February.

    There is no record of the operations of the battery during the remainder of the winter. The date upon which it left La Grange is not given, but the division to which it was attached had been transferred from the Fifteenth to the Sixteenth Corps, which was operating in West Tennessee and Mississippi, and the service and movements of the battery were identified with the operations of the division to which it belonged. Its next important conflicts with the enemy were on July 13, 14 and 15, 1864, in the battles at and near Tupelo, Miss., in which the right wring of the Sixteenth Corps, under command of General A. J. Smith met and defeated a largely superior force of the enemy, commanded by the noted rebel General Forrest. That officer and his troops were flushed with the signal victory they had won over General Sturgis and his command, and they entered the engagement at Tupelo confident of winning an easy victory over the command of General Smith. Captain Reed describes the part taken by the Second Iowa Battery in the series of battles which ensued, as follows:

Page 1728

     On the 13th of July the battery rendered a most Important service. The two armies were marching In the same general direction, on converging roads. The rebels under Forrest were on the south road, and a brigade marched over and attacked us while in column. We were In a dense woods at the time, and the first intimation our troops had of their presence was received through a ringing volley of musketry. The attack was now east of a creek, and perhaps half a mile from It. The column was broken up by the crossing, and there was nothing In view of the battery back to the creek except one small regiment of Infantry, numbering not more than one hundred and fifty men. The attack struck the column ahead of us, and Its effect was to throw everything Into confusion. The enemy had come within fifty yards of the road before they were discovered, and It seemed impossible to prevent them from obtaining possession of it, thus cutting the column In two. Immediately ahead of us was a section of Battery E, First Illinois, and it was literally turned on end by the volley. The Infantry ahead of us was equally surprised and demoralized by the attack, and were getting out of the way as fast as their legs would carry them. No superior officer was present to give orders, and nothing was to be done but to act on our own Judgment. Our only resource was to fight It out on our own hook. We got into position as quickly as we could, and without being observed by the enemy. Fortunately our position was on their flank, and when we opened fire we enfiladed their line from end to end. The surprise was now on the other side, and their retreat was probably as expeditious as any that has ever occurred. The fight was ours. Not another organization or man fired a shot in repulsing the attack. The battle of Tupelo proper was fought on July 14th and 16th. The position of the battery on the 14th was on the right of the Twelfth Iowa Infantry, and the left of the Thirty-third Wisconsin. The enemy attacked early In the morning, the forge on our front being Buford's Division, and an attack was beaten by these three organizations, associated, perhaps, to some extent, by two other regiments. I never saw dead and wounded men as thick on any other field as they lay In our front. I afterwards saw General Buford's report, and he stated his loss at nine hundred seventy-five. there was a sharp fight on the 16th, In which we participated.

    In September, 1864, the battery moved up White River, in Arkansas, and afterwards marched over five hundred miles in pursuit of the rebel General Price's army, then engaged in the second invasion of Missouri. The troops with which the battery was associated did not succeed in overtaking the enemy, other troops having met and defeated General Price's army and driven him out of the State, before their arrival. The Second Iowa Battery then proceeded to Nashville, Tenn., arriving there on December 1st, and participating in the battles fought near that place on December 16 and 16, 1864. The conduct of the battery in those engagements is described in the official report of Captain Reed, as follows:

    HEADQUARTERS SECOND IOWA BATTERY, IN THE FIELD,
    December 21, 1864.

    LIEUTENANT T. P. GERE, A. A. A. General,
    Second Brigade, First Division,
    Army of Tennessee.

    SIR: I have the honor to transmit the following report of the part taken by this battery in the recent engagement near Nashville, Tenn. On the morning of the 16th Inst., the battery moved from its position at 8 A. M. and marched with the brigade, following all its movements in column and line, until the enemy was discovered In a strongly intrenched position on our front. Here, by direction of General McArthur, I placed my rifle section in position, two hundred yards in rear of the brigade line. From this position I fired ten rounds from each gun, when I moved forward and placed the battery In position on a slight eminence In front of the brigade and brought forward my twelve-pounders as fast as I could find positions where they could be used to advantage. I occupied this position until the brigade was moved to the front, when I replenished my limber-chests and followed It, and, under direction

Page 1729

of Colonel Hubbard, occupied a position on the left of the battery of McMillen's Brigade, within six hundred yards of the enemy's works, on which I opened a vigorous fire, which I continued until the work was carried. I Immediately moved forward, and placed the battery In position on the left of this work, and opened fire on the summit of the next hill, up the sides of which our skirmishers were then advancing. As soon as this position was carried, I moved to the front of the work and opened fire on the enemy's line in the woods and on the pike, one thousand yards to our front, paying particular attention to a hill to the right of the line, on which the enemy had placed a battery. When this hill was carried and the enemy's line broken by the charge of the brigade, a confused mass of the enemy broke from the stone wall at the pike, and started to the rear across an open field. On this crowd I opened all my guns, with shot and shell, which plowed through and exploded among them. A large number of them ran back to the wall, and, as I afterwards learned, surrendered. I then moved to the front, and reported to Colonel Hubbard, who directed me to open on a battery of the enemy, which was firing on the left of our line. As our position was immediately on the enemy's flank, and our fire enfiladed him, the battery was In a very few moments limbered up, and all that part of the brigade moved to the rear. I continued firing until he passed beyond my range, and, It being then quite dark, I encamped for the night. During the night I had thrown up a slight work in front of my guns, and at 6 A. M. was harnessed and hitched up, and at 7 A. M. moved out of our works with the brigade, changed front to the right, and opened fire on the enemy's train, which was In sight, moving to the right and rear. The brigade, moving to the front, was soon hotly engaged. By direction of General McArthur, I moved one section to the front, and placed it In position on a crest, to the right and rear of the brigade, and in front of the Twenty-third Corps, Immediately bringing forward the other four guns, which I placed in position still farther to the right. From this position I kept up a vigorous fire on the enemy's line until the final charge at near 3 P. M. As soon as the line was carried, I moved three guns, all for which I had ammunition, to the front, following the brigade and opening on the enemy from every possible position. At dark I encamped with the brigade, bringing forward during the night the balance of the battery. During the two days I expended fifteen hundred rounds of ammunition. I had but a single casualty during the whole engagement, and that resulted from the premature discharge of one of the pieces. To my Lieutenants, Coons and Burke, I am Indebted for efficient assistance. My non-commissioned officers and men uniformly behaved with coolness and gallantry. All of which Is respectfully submitted.

    J. R. REED, Captain
    Commanding Second Iowa Battery

    In the engagement on July 15th, when the enemy broke from the protection of the stone wall along the pike and started to retreat across the open field, it was the terrific fire of the Second Iowa Battery which caused seven hundred men of the rebel General Walthall's Division to fall back to the cover of the stone wall, where they were subsequently captured. On the 16th, the fire of the battery was so accurately directed that it caused the explosion of a caisson in each of two rebel batteries and effectually silenced both of them. No battery on the Union side rendered more effective service at the battle of Nashville than the Second Iowa.

    After the battle. the battery joined in the pursuit of the thoroughly defeated and demoralized rebel army as far as the Tennessee River, where it halted and went into camp and remained until February, 1865. It was then transferred to the Gulf Department and went to New Orleans, and afterward to Mobile Bay, where it participated in the siege of Spanish Fort. It was actively engaged every day, from the beginning of the siege to the capture of the fort. It then moved to Montgomery, and later to Selma, Ala., where it remained until late in

Page 1730

July, when It was ordered to return to the State of Iowa, for muster out, after four years of faithful and devoted service. 6

    The following note is found appended to the final muster out roll of the battery:

    "The Second Independent Battery Iowa Veteran Volunteers was mustered out of the service of the United States at Davenport, August 7, 1865. All officers not above accounted for were mustered out as with the battery." 7

    The compiler of this sketch has given as complete a condensed history of the services of the battery as the official records and the other sources of information (to which reference has been made) will enable him to compile. He has found no reference to individual acts of heroism but, in its long period of service and its many engagements with the enemy, there were, perhaps, many such eases that failed to receive official mention. Be that as it may, the record as shown is altogether an honorable one, and fully entitles the Second Iowa Battery to an honored place in the military history of the Nation in whose defense it rendered such gallant and important service, and of the State which sent it to the field.

    6 The names of the killed and wounded and of those who died from wounds or disease, together with all casualties sustained by the battery, will be found noted in the subjoined roster. The roster also gives the personal record of each officer and enlisted man, in so far as the same is revealed by the records in the office of the Adjutant General of the State of Iowa.
