QUTOING FROM THE IOWA ROSTER:

     "After the surrender of Johnston's army at Raleigh, N. C., the Union troops of the Army of the Tenneassee marched down Pennsylvania Avenue, no state was more proudly represented in that grand marching column of wars, worn and battle scarred veterans than Iowa and among the Iowa Regiments none presented a more soidierly appearance or received greater honor from cheering mutiltude than the 11th Iowa and it's associate organization in the Old Iowa Brigade."
