THE FOURTH INFANTRY REGIMENT

This regiment was organized with G. M. Dodge, of Council Bluffs, as colonel. Of the companies in this regiment company A was enrolled in Mills county, and ordered into quarters by the governor of the state in August 1861. It was mustered into the service of the United States by Captain Lewis Merrill, U. S. A., at Jefferson barracks, Missouri; August 15, 1861, under proclamation of the President of the United States, bearing date May 3, 1861. On August 24, the Fourth went to Rolla, Missouri, where it remained until January 22, 1862. From that date until the 14th of July, 1862, when it arrived at Helena, Arkansas, the regiment was almost continually on the march, forming a part of the army of the southwest. The first engagement was that of Pea Ridge* March 6, 7 and 8, 1862, followed by that of Chickasaw Bayou on the 28th and 29th of December, 1862.

On the 10th and 11th of January, 1863, the regiment was in the battle of Arkansas Post. After this last battle the Fourth returned to the front at Vicksburg, reaching Young's Point on January 22, 1863. The regiment lay at this point until April 2, when it was ordered to Greenville, a point one hundred and fifty miles up the Mississippi river, and thence it went to form a portion of the force engaged in the raid up the Deer creek valley. On May 2, the regiment started to participate in the active campaign against Vicksburg, arriving there on the 18th, having been delayed two days at Jackson to destroy the railroad.

On July 4th, the regiment was again detailed to Jackson, arriving in time to participate in that hard fought battle. From July 29 to September 22, the fourth lay in camp at Black river, fourteen miles in the rear of Vicksburg, when, on the date last named it embarked on a steamer for Memphis, Tennessee. From this point the regiment set out on the campaign to northern Georgia, marching by way of Corinth, Tuscumbia, Eastport and Iuka, to Chattanooga, which place it reached November 23d. Weary and travel worn as it was, it nevertheless was heroically brave in the battle of Lookout Mountain on the 24th, that of Missionary Ridge on the 25th, and again in the battle of Ringgold, on the 27th. On the third of the following month, December, the regiment went into camp at Bridgeport, Alabama, and thence to Woodville, remaining until February 26, when it started home on veteran furlough. In April of the same year, 1864, the Fourth again started for the field, outfitting at Nashville, to engage in the campaign against Atlanta, Georgia. From that date on, the campaign was one of continued fighting and weary marches. After the fall of Atlanta the regiment went with Sherman to the sea, thence to Washington through the Carolinas, and finally to Louisville, Kentucky, where it was mustered out July 24, 1865, and was paid and disbanded at Davenport, Iowa.

*The regiment acquitted itself bravely in this celebrated battle, (speaking of Pea Ridge) standing a most terrific fire of grape, canister, solid shot and shell, for more than three hours. So grand a stand did the gallant Fourth make that the general commanding said of it in his official report, "This regiment won immortal honors." It lost, in this battle, fully one-half of all actually engaged.

It is eminently proper that the address of General Williamson was as follows: From Headquarters, District of St. Louis, St. Louis, Mo., July 6, 1865.

"Fellow Soldiers of the Fourth Iowa Infantry: Having received the appointment of Brigadier General, and been assigned to duty in another quarter, my official connection with you has ceased. In taking leave of you, I deem it but right to briefly allude to our past association as soldiers. Four years ago we left our homes and loved ones to fight for the Union cause. Then we numbered one thousand men. We were undisciplined and knew nothing of war, but we did know that our country needed our services, and that was enough. Since then we have had more than three hundred added to our ranks. Today our whole number is less than four hundred. Where are the one thousand of our missing companions? Most of them have fallen on the battle fields from Pea Ridge to Columbia. Some have been discharged on account of wounds received in battle; but the saddest thing of all remains to be told; some were starved to death in southern prison-pens. You, the survivors of our glorious old regiment, will, I hope, very soon be permitted to go home and enter again upon the duties and assume the responsibilities of citizens of the Republic, and of yours, the young State of Iowa, for which you have helped to make so glorious a name during the war.

It need not be said to men like you, who have fought on more than thirty different battle fields; who, under Curtis, "won immortal honors" at Pea Ridge and made the memorable march through Missouri and Arkansas in midsummer, who were ordered by General Grant to place "first at Chickasaw Bayou" on your banners; who were under Sherman at "Chickasaw Bayou and Arkansas Post," who were under Grant through the entire campaign of Vicksburg, including Jackson and Brandon; who marched from Vicksburg to Chattanooga under Sherman; who fought with Hooker above the clouds at Lookout Mountain* and were with him at Missionary Ridge and Ringgold; who were under Sherman through the entire Atlanta campaign, and participated in every battle; and who again, under their great leader, made the famous "march to the ocean," and thence to Washington, to be good citizens. Whatever may be said to the contrary, none can appreciate peace and civil government better than those who have so freely offered their lives in war to secure these blessings.

In conclusion, I have only to add that I thank my lucky star that my fortunes as a soldier were cast with you, and I thank you for my "stars." May that kind Providence who has preserved and directed you through so many hardships and dangers, guide you in the path of honor and glory in the future as in the past." Your fellow soldier, J. A. Williamson

*Probably no skirmish of the war has been so greatly misrepresented and exaggerated as that of Lookout Mountain. General Grant, a most competent judge, has said it was hardly worth mentioning; no southern history mentions it at all, as being too unimportant. In view of the facts in the case, one may well smile at the graphic, but wholly false account of Headley and Ridpath. R.E.C.

The Regiment was mustered out of service July 24, 1865.

FIFTEENTH INFANTRY

The 15th Regiment was organized on Sept. 5, 1861. Company F, of this regiment was organized in the counties of Mills and Fremont, the dates of enlistment extending from October 10, 1861, to February 22, 1862. The company was ordered into quarters by the governor of the state, October 10, 1861, and mustered into the service of the United States by Captain Charles C. Smith, U. S. A. at Keokuk, November 18, 1861, under proclamation of the President of the United States, July 23, 1861. It was stationed at Keokuk until March 19, 1862, when the regiment of which it formed a part, was ordered to St. Louis, from which time the fortunes of the regiment were common to company F. The regiment left St. Louis on the morning of April 1, 1862, and arrived at Pittsburg Landing on the morning of the 6th, and at once entered upon its first battle, at that place. The result was a loss of twenty-two killed, one hundred and fifty six wounded, and eight wounded and missing. The mortality was somewhat increased subsequently by the death of a number of the wounded soldiers. In May 1862, the regiment was assigned to the third brigade of the sixth division of the army of West Tennessee, and with that division went into camp near Corinth, Mississippi. On the 18th of September the regiment was in the battle of Iuka, after which it was ordered to garrison that place until the 30th, when it resumed its march to Corinth. In October, on the second day of the month, the regiment camped two miles west of Corinth, and early in the morning of the following day, the 3d, was formed in line of battle to meet the approaching forces of Van Dorn and Villissigue, in which attack the total loss in killed, wounded and missing was eighty-three. From November, 1862, to May, 1863, the regiment did little but march, except in the month of February, 1863, when it assisted in digging the canal which was to connect the Mississippi river with Lake Providence, on the north side of which the regiment was encamped. the operations of May were, perhaps, similar to those of the preceding months, but all had reference to the great struggle which was to occur at Vicksburg. The troops of the Fifteenth did not reach that city until May 31st, being then tired, sore, and hungry. The month of June was passed with a series of other changes, but once matters approaching the interest of a battle, and that occasion being on the 20th, when an artillery fight was had along the whole line, and the regiment formed a line of battle and marched to the front. In February, 1864, the regiment formed a part of the force under General Sherman on the expedition to Meridian, leaving Vicksburg on the 3d of the month. In March or April the regiment was given a veteran furlough, from which it returned in May, 1864, and went into camp at Bird's Point, Missouri. On the 25th of May the Fifteenth left for the seat of active operation in Georgia, then being conducted by General Sherman. From August, 1864, to December, 1864, the regiment was in an almost continual fight, losing heavily, but winning renown for gallant conduct. On the 21st of December the Fifteenth arrived at Savahhah, and was ordered into camp. On the 29th the regiment was reviewed by General Sherman, and complimented "for its appearance, cleanliness, and regularity of movements." It had marched, from the 21st to the 29th inclusive, a total of one hundred and sixty miles. The regiment was in the march from Savannah to Washington, was present at the surrender of Johnston's gallant army; went thence through the Carolinas to Washington, participating in the grand review, and earning applause and commendation for soldier-like bearing. It went into camp west of the city May 24th, having marched during the month a total of three hundred and fifty-nine miles. June 1st the regiment was ordered to Louisville, Kentucky, and mustered out August 3, 4, 5, 1865. The farewell order of George Pomutz, lieutenant-colonel of the Fifteenth Iowa, will be of interest to every soldier serving in that gallant band, and is given herewith in full.

(This General Order, No. 14: issued from Headquarters 15th Iowa Infantry, Vet.Vols. Near Louisville, Kentucky, July 23, 1865 is shortened).........Soldiers of the 15th Iowa! Your record was and is a noble one. For three and a half years you have borne the banner of the stars and stripes, the emblem of the power and unity of our government; at the same time as the exponent of your own determination to assist in upholding that government and its laws, you have carried and defended that banner through a distance marched and traveled of seven thousand eight hundred and ninety eight miles, since March, 1862. Out of the aggregate number of one thousand seven hundred and sixty three men, who have been members of the regiment since its organization, one thousand and fifty-one are absent, a fearful proportion of whom comprises those killed, the deceased, and the crippled, and the disabled for life. Proof enough of the devotion of the members of the regiment to our government and to its laws........

Signed George Pomutz, Lieut. Col. Commanding 15th Iowa

TWENTY-NINTH IOWA INFANTRY

There were Mills county men in company B and K, of this regiment. Company B was almost entirely composed of men volunteering from Mills county. The company was ordered into quarters by the Governor of the State on September 1, 1862 and mustered into the United States service by Lieutenant Horace Brown, U.S.A., at Council Bluffs, December 1, 1863, under a proclamation of the President of the United States, bearing the date of July 2, 1862.

Company K was composed of men from a number of counties, Mills being more often represented than any other of the ten counties which contributed to its enrollment. The company was ordered into quarters November 13, 1862 and mustered into the service by Lieutenant Brown, December 1, 1863.*

[*In the report of the Adjutant General this date is incorrectly printed for both Company B and K, as December 1, 1862. The call to which they responded was not issued by the President until July 3, 1862; hence the above date of 1863 is manifestly a typographical error for 1863, to which it has herein been changed. REC]

The regiment went to the front early in 1863, being a part of the army of the Southwest. It received its "baptism of blood" so far as any general battle was concerned, in the engagement at Helena, Arkansas, July 4, 1863. It had, previous to this time seen an occasional skirmish, but now came the opportunity to test its courage and its faith in its officers and cause. On Independence Day, 1863, began the struggle, an account of which may be most faithfully given, as follows, in the report of the commanding officer:

Headquarters Twenty-Ninth Iowa Infantry, Helena, Arkansas, July 6, 1864* (*this is evidently another misprint) Colonel: I have the honor to make the following report of the part taken in the engagement of the 4th instant by my regiment. My men were drawn up in line of battle at daylight, and at half past four o'clock AM., in pursuance of orders from Colonel Samuel A. Rice, commanding second brigade, we marched across the bottom at double-quick, to a position on the Sterling road. Upon reaching the point designated, I found that the enemy occupied the crest of the hills with their skirmishers, north of battery A, commanding my position. I immediately sent forward two companies of skirmishers to dislodge and drive them back, but finding them too strongly posted, I continued to reinforce the line until eight companies were deployed.

In the meantime the enemy had placed a battery of two guns in position, with which they opened a brisk fire, and moved rapidly upon us, cheering and exulting as they advanced, being partially shielded from view by a fog which covered the hills at that moment. Our skirmishers met them with a galling and incessant fire, under which they gradually fell back, resolutely contesting every inch of ground as they retired. Our skirmishers advanced steadily and cautiously, and having gained the crest of the hill previously occupied by the enemy, compelled him to abandon his guns which, after several ineffectual attempts he subsequently recovered, and withdrew, leaving one caisson on the field. My men were under a severe fire for more than five hours, and it affords me the greatest pleasure to speak of both officers and men in terms of the highest commendation for their coolness and bravery during the entire action. I saw no flinching or wavering during the day. It is proper to add that several of my officers and quite a number of my men, who were excused from duty in consequence of disability, left their quarters and joined their respective companies when the signal gun was fired.

Any invidious distinctions among the members of my command would not be admissible in this report, but I would not do justice to an accomplished officer should I fail to acknowledge the efficient services of Lieutenant Colonel R. F. Patterson during the action, and the special obligations I am under for the thorough instruction previously given by him, to both officers and men in the responsible duties and obligations of the soldier, the importance of which instruction was so forcibly illustrated on the 5th instant.

I regret I have to report that during the engagement the loss in my regiment was seven killed and twenty-four wounded, some of them mortally - two of whom have since died - and many of them severely. Among the number are some of my best and bravest men. The enemy's loss it is not possible to state definitely, as he succeeded in removing many of them from the field. We buried fourteen of his dead, found the graves of seventeen more buried by himself, and brought one of his wounded from the field.

I have the honor to be, Colonel, very respectfully, your obedient servant.

Thomas H. Benton, Jr. , Colonel Twenty-ninth Iowa Infantry

To Samuel A. Rice, Colonel Commanding (rest is illegible)

The other important battles in which the Twenty-ninth was engaged were those of Arkansas Post and Spanish Fort. It marched toward Little Rock AR and took an expedition with Gen. Banks in the Red River Campaign. On April 22, 1865 the Regiment was transported to Texas for garrison Duty. The 29th mustered out of service on Aug. 15, 1865.
