The
Ninth Infantry was sent to the front in
1861. Hon Wm. Vandever resigned his seat
in Congress to take command of the
Fifth. The regiment was first
under fire at Pea Ridge, where it
behaved gallantly. Was in the Yazoo
expedition, in 1863. The Third Iowa
Battery was recruited as a component
part of the Ninth. The regiment
participated in the movements against
Atlanta and in the famous march through
the Carolinas under an Iowa officer,
and, with three other Iowa regiments,
captured Columbia.
[NOTE: ~~ This regiment was mustered out
July 18, 1863, at Louisville. Officers
not otherwise accounted for were
mustered out with the regiment.]
