HISTORICAL SKETCH
TENTH REGIMENT IOWA VOLUNTEER INFANTRY.
The Tenth regiment was ordered into quarters by the Governor in the latter part of
August, 1861. Nine full companies had assembled at the designated rendezvous by the 6th of
September, and were mustered into the service of the United States by Capt. Alexander Chambers,
United States Army, at Camp Fremont, near Iowa City, on the 6th and 7th days of September,
1861. The date of the completed muster of the tenth company (K) appears in the official record
as October 11th, which would indicate that the company was not filled to the maximum until
after the regiment had taken the field.
The names of its field and staff and company officers at organization will be found in
the subjoined roster, and the subsequent changes, on account of death, promotion, resignation,
of from whatever cause, will be found in Alphabetically arranged roster which follows, with the
personal record of service opposite the name of each officer and enlisted man. These records
have been compiled from the official reports of the Adjutant General of Iowa, supplemented by
those on file in the War Department at Washington, in so far as access could be obtained to
those records. It is more than possible that, with all the care that has been taken to make
these records accurate, some errors have been made. When the magnitude of the work and the
length of time which has transpired since the close of the war are taken into consideration, it
will not be a matter for surprise--however much it is to be regretted--that all the mistakes as
well as omissions revealed by those old records could not be discovered and corrected. It is
believed that, in the main, these paragraphs will be found to properly represent the facts,
briefly stated, connected with the personal service of each soldier of the regiment.
September 24, 1861, the regiment embarked on board transports at Davenport, for St.
Louis, arriving there on the 27th. Here it received its arms, uniforms and cam equipments, and
on October 1st was ordered to Cape Girardeau to aid in fortifying that place against a
threatened attack of the enemy. From Cape Girardeau, the regiment engaged in an expedition
which resulted in the dispersion of a rebel force under the command of Gen. Jeff Thompson.
November 12th it was ordered to Bird's Point, and from that place engaged in several
expeditions, in one of which--near Charleston--it had a sharp encounter with the enemy,
resulting in a loss to the Tenth Iowa of 8 killed and 16 wounded. The regiment suffered
greatly while at Bird's Point from sickness, the prevailing and most fatal malady being
measles, the aggregate loss from November 12, 1861, to March 4, 1862, being 96 by death and by
discharge on account of disease. It will thus be seen that in less than six months the
regiment had suffered a loss of 120 men in killed and wounded and by death and discharge
because of sickness. It was repeating the experience of the Iowa regiments which had preceded
it, in the loss of a large number who could not withstand the hard conditions to which they
were subjected by the change from the comforts of their home life to the hardships and exposure
of the camp and the march during a winter campaign.
Early in March, 1862, the regiment was ordered to New Madrid, Mo., where it participated
in the operations that led up to the evacuation of that place by the enemy; and a detachment
from the Tenth Iowa, under Major McCalla, was first to enter the rebel works. It also assisted
in the capture of Island No. 10, and in the pursuit of the enemy to Tiptonville, where 5,000 of
the enemy and a large quantity of military supplies were captured. Following the brilliant
achievement, the Tenth Iowa, now a part of the Union Army of the Mississippi, embarked on board
transports and, in conjunction with the federal gunboats, made a demonstration against the
rebel Fort Wright; but the army was abruptly recalled, just as these operations were fairly
under way, to re-inforce the Army of the Tennessee, in its operations against the rebel
stronghold at Corinth, Miss., and proceeding up the Mississippi, Ohio and Tennessee rivers, the
transports landed the troops at Hamburg, Tenn., from which point they marched to Corinth, and
became part of the investing force in the siege which followed.
In the operations around Corinth, the regiment acquitted itself with great credit and
received the warm commendation of its experienced commander, Colonel Perczel, for ita gallant
conduct in the skirmish with the enemy, May 26, 1862. Corinth was evacuated May 20, 1862, and
the Tenth Iowa participated in the pursuit of the enemy until ordered to return, when it went
into camp on Clear Creek, near Corinth, on June 15th, where it remained until June 29th, when
it was sent on a expedition to Ripley, forty miles distant, and returned to its camp on Clear
Creek, July 6th, where it remained until July 29th, when it marched to Jacinto and went into
camp near that place, where it remained until September 18th. On that date, the rebel army
under Generals Price and Van Dorn was in possession of Iuka, within striking distance of our
camp, and General Rosecrans moved his troops (of which the Tenth Iowa formed a part) on the
19th of September, toward Iuka, and on the evening of that day the enemy met him, and the
battle of Iuka began.
The Tenth Iowa occupied a most fortunate position in this battle, which enabled it to
inflict heavy loss upon the enemy with but slight loss to itself. The manner in which the
regiment was handled reflected great credit upon its commander. The following extract from the
report of Colonel Perczel will show the great skill with which he executed the orders of his
brigade commander, General Sullivan.
Agreeably to your orders, I advanced on September 19th about 5 P. M. with my regiment and
a section of the Twelfth Wisconsin Battery, under Lieutenant Immell. After a short survey of
our line of battle, I took position with seven companies, a cheval on the Iuka road, about a
quarter of a mile ahead of our left wing. I sent three companies to the right into a dense
wood; then I put my two pieces into position, and threw a few shells in an oblique direction,
where I discovered the rebel lines. My three companies in the woods reported a full brigade of
rebels advancing on our left wing, on which I withdrew them, and, leaving only one company for
the observation of the enemy. I changed front perpendicular to our line of battle on the Iuka
road. I planted my two pieces anew, and thus obtained a dominating flanking position. Being
on a ridge, I could watch the enemy's movements, who had to cross a broken open field in order
to attack our forces. They soon emerged from the woods, opened a heavy fire, and advanced on
our lines. Their fire was returned, and I too opened with musketry and canister, The rebels
wavered, fell back a little, but were soon rallied and advanced again, nothing daunted by our
fire, which made great havoc to their ranks. The followed our left wing into the woods, and
for a short time there was no enemy in our sight; but suddenly a full regiment marched our from
the woods on their side, offering their right flank to my fire, with the evident intention to
advance to the support of their forces already engaged, I opened instantly with canister and
musketry, on which they fell back to the woods,*** They attempted twice to advance but were
driven back each time. We had the advantage of the ground. Our fire told fearfully upon them,
while we suffered next to nothing. Their fire, up a steep hill, had been altogether too
high*** Night coming on, I drew a little closer to our main body; but on the report of Company
I, which I left to observe the enemy's movements, that a new body of rebels was advancing. I
advanced again with three companies. As we approached, the enemy opened upon us, but owing to
the darkness, and again to their up-hill firing, not a man was hurt. We returned the fire with
great execution, as we found on the morning of the 20th the ground strewn with the bodies of
their dead.
At the close of his report, the Colonel thanks his officers and men for the promptness
with which they executed his orders, and says, "The Tenth Iowa have proved themselves good
soldiers." He further says, "I have to mention efficient services and assistance of our brave
Major N. McCalla, and of my Adjutant, Wm. Manning, and also the able and brave manner in which
Lieutenant Immell handled his two pieces of artillery.
The entire loss of the regiment in this battle was but 7 men wounded. It is but seldom
that such effective service is performed in battle with such slight loss, In all the battles
in which it was subsequently engaged, the Tenth Iowa was never so fortunate as to escape with
so small a loss in proportion to the magnitude of the engagement and the number of the regiment
engaged. Major General Rosecrans, who was the chief in command, says in his official report;
"The Tenth Iowa, under Colonel Perczel, deserves honorable mention for covering our left flank
from the assault of the Texas Legion."
Brig. Gen. C. S. Hamilton says. "An attempt to turn the left flank of my division by a
heavy force of the enemy, moving up the open field and ravine on my left, was most signally
repulsed by Colonel Perczel with the Tenth Iowa and a section of Immell's battery. So bravely
was this attemot repulsed that the enemy made no more attempts in that direction."
Brig. Gen. J. C. Sullivan, who commanded the brigade to which the Tenth Iowa was attached
says, "The Tenth Iowa, with a section of the Twelfth Wisconsin Battery, was ordered to hold a
road leading to our left and rear. The regiment held the position assigned them, and drove
back a brigade of rebels which was advancing to take possession of the road, Colonel Perczel
gallantly held his position, and by his determined stand led the enemy to believe we were in
strong force at that point, and to desist from their attack." The commendations of these
generals show that the service of the Tenth Iowa was most important, and that it was full
appreciated.
The next esperience of the regiment under fire was in the battle of Corinth, on th 3d and
4th days of October, 1862. The position to which the Tenth Iowa was assigned on the first day
of the battle was again a fortunate one, as will be seen by the following extract from the
official report of its commanding officer, Major Nathaniel McCalla. After describing the
position occupied--a shallow cut on the line of the Memphis & Charlston Railroad--he says"
While in this position the fire from their batteries was kept up, raking the ground, and
would have done immense damage but for the fact that at this point where the line was formed on
the track, there was a cut which formed a good shelter, their balls passing over our heads,
many of them lodging in the opposite bank,, so closely had they raked the ground. Seeing an
attempt on the part of the enemy to move forward one of their batteries to a point on the
railroad to our right, from which they could open ipon us an enfilading fire, I ordered the
regiment to file into the dense woods in our rear by the left flank, having cleared the track
in time to avois a raking fire. I again formed a line of battle, and marched to the rear,
under the incessant fire of their battery, whose firing had now become too high to do much
damage.
The major conducted his regiment through the woods to the left until he reached the main
road leading directly to the front. On this road the enemy's pickets were discovered, and the
regiment was immediately deployed as skirmishers, but the enemy did not advance, and the Tenth
Iowa remained in line until morning. On the morning of the 4th, in obedience to orders, Major
McCalla moved his regiment to a new position to the left and rear of the line he had occupied
during the night, and went into line of battle in support of the Sixth Wisconsin Battery. Of
the conduct of the regiment in the second day's battle Major McCalla reports as follows:
At about 10 A. M., the firing of the skirmishers in front of us became rapid, and the
advancing columns of the enemy soon drove then back; but they rallied to a point directly in
front of our line, and until they had retired to our rear, I could not order my regiment to
fire; but as soon as the space in front was cleared I gave the order my regiment to fire; but
as soon as the space in front was cleared I gave the order to commence firing, which was kept
up with spirit, but without very materially checking the advance of the enemy, who approached
us in overwhelming numbers. My men had fired from 15 to 20 rounds, when I perceived that
numbers of the enemy were passing the right and getting in the rear of my line, and also that
the battery on my left had been silenced and taken, and the enemy pressing forward to the left
of us. I ordered the regiment to fall back, which it did in good order, to a distance of about
seventy-five yards, when I made a halt, facing about and again opening fire; but being unable
to retain this position, I again ordered the regiment back under cover of the Twelfth
Wisconsin, and Powell's batteries. Passing to the rear in line of battle, I halted at a
position immediately between these batteries. I then marched forward and occupied the same
ground from which we had retired, during the remainder of the battle. The casualties in the
regiment were 6 men wounded on the first day, and one commissioned officer and 30 men wounded
and 3 killed on the second day.
Major McCalla makes special mention of Capt. N. A. Holson, Acting Lieutenant Colonel, and
Capt. Jackson Orr, Acting Major, also Wm. Manning, Adjutant, commending these officers for
their assistance to him and for their coolness and courage. He also states that the line
officers, without an exception, deported themselves with the greatest gallantry.
The brigade commander, General Sullivan, in his official report says: "The Tenth Iowa
sustained the brunt of the first attack of the enemy, until the regiment on their left gave
way, and their flank was exposed, when they slowly fell back fighting."
After the battle of Corinth, the regiment had a short period of rest in camp, but, on
November 1st, it was again on the move, participating in expeditions to Grand Junction, Davis
Mills, Holly Springs and Moscow. It did not encounter the enemy in any of these movements.
From Moscow, the regiment marched with the army under General Grant down the line of the
Mississippi Central Railroad. The objective point of the expedition was Vicksburg, but the
capture of Holly Springs by the skillfully executed cavalry raid of the rebel General Van Dorn,
and the destruction of the vast stores of supplies which General Grant had accumulated at that
point, compelled the abandonment of the expedition and the prompt retreat of the Union Army.
It became necessary to at once dispatch a train of several hundred wagons to Memphis for
supplies, and the Tenth Iowa was one of the regiments selected to guard this immense train over
the long road to Memphis and starving point, before the train them upon its return with the
needed supplies. After performing this important service, the regiment remained for one month
in camp at White's Station, and then moved to Memphis, where, on the 4th of March, 1863, it
embarked and proceeded down the river, to enter actively upon the greatest campaign thus far
attempted during the war. The compiler of this sketch realizes with regret that the limitation
of space to which he is restricted will not permit him to go into particularity of detail in
describing the operations of the Tenth Iowa Infantry in this great campaign, or in those which
followed, down to the close of the war. To do so would require a volume, instead of the few
pages which follow.
The regiment accompanied the hazardous expedition through the tortuous windings of the
Yazoo Pass, over two hundred miles from the Mississippi, and returned to Helena on the 9th of
April, 1863. It now belonged to the Third Brigade of the Seventh Division of General
McPherson's Seventeenth Army Corps, with which it participated in the brilliant series of
battles at Port Gibson, Raymond, Jackson, Champion Hills and in the sanguinary charge upon the
enemy's works at Vicksburg on the 22d of May. In all of these engagements the regiment
displayed the same valor and prompt obedience to orders which it had shown in all it preceding
encounters with the enemy, but the splendid achievement and heavy loss at Champion Hills on the
16th of May, 1863, is considered by many of the survivors as not only by far the most notable
record the regiment made of the survivors as not only by far the most notable record the
regiment made during the Vicksburg campaign but of the entire war. In that hard fought battle
the division to which the Tenth Iowa belonged was commanded by the gallant General M. M.
Crocker of Iowa. The regiment here stood its ground in an open stand up fight, taking and
returning the fire of the enemy at close range until its last round of ammunition was
exhausted. On no part of the battlefield was the fighting so severe, persistent or protracted.
Iowa was conspicuous in this battle, five or of her regiments--the Fifth, Tenth, Seventeenth,
Twenty-fourth and Twenty-eighth--being engaged, and all acquitting themselves with great
credit. The Tenth lost nearly one-half of its number engaged. Of its officers, Capt. Stephen
W. Poage, Lieut. James H. Terry and Lieut. Isaac H. Brown, were killed on the field, and Capt.
Robert Lusby, Capt Nathan A. Holson, Capt. Albert Head, Lieut. John W. Wright, Lieut. A. L.
Swallow, Lieut. Elbert J. Kuhn, Lieut. George Gregory and Lieut. William P. Meekins, were
wounded. The total loss of the regiment in this battle, was 158, 34 killed and 124 wounded.
On the 19th of May the regiment had reached the position to which it was assigned in the
rear of Vicksburg, and became part of the investing force in the siege. The regiment
participated in the charge on the 22d of May and lost 3 killed and 24 wounded. Here the
gallant Captain Head was again severely wounded. The regiment remained on duty, in the
trenches a sharpshooters, supporting batteries, and performing its full part in the siege
operations until June 22nd, when it was transferred, with its brigade, to the defensive line on
Black River to guard against the possible attempt of the rebel General Johnston to raise the
siege by attacking the besieging force in the rear.
The regiment remained upon this important duty until after the surrender of Vicksburg,
July 4, 1863, when it was immediately sent in pursuit of Johnston's army, which had been
withdrawn to the defensive works around Jackson, against which the army under General Sherman
promptly began siege operations, which ended on July 16th, upon the evacuation of Jackson by
the forces under Johnston, and their retreat into the interior of Mississippi. Thus ended the
Vicksburg campaign, with such satisfactory results for the Union army, and such disastrous
results for the enemy. The victory had been won, however, at a tremendous cost. On both sides
many thousands had been killed and wounded, and thousands more were to share their fate before
the final triumph of the Union arms. On the 19th of July the Tenth Iowa returned to Vicksburg,
and from there proceeded to Helena, Ark., with it division, where it remained until the last of
September, when it was ordered to proceed to Memphis, there to unite with the Fifteenth Army
Corps under Maj. Gen. Wm. T. Sherman, and to march across the country in Chattanooga, there to
re-inforce the Army of the Cumberland and to deal another crushing blow to the enemies of the
Union.
On the 17th of October the long and toilsome march was begun. For thirty-two days the
army under Sherman pressed forward and, on the 19th of November, arrived at Chattanooga. There
the great struggle was renewed around Lookout Mountain and Missionary Ridge, the Tenth Iowa
participated in the storming of the Missionary Ridge, November 25th, and performed its full
share in that memorable contest, in which it seemed impossible that human valor could
accomplish the task of scaling those formidable heights. The loss of the regiment in this
engagement was 11 killed, 35 wounded and 6 captured, out of 250 engaged.
After this battle the Tenth Iowa was moved to Bridgeport, thence to Larkinsville, Ala.,
and thence to Huntsville, where it went into camp January 9, 1864. Here, in the beginning of
February, the requisite number to retain the regimental organization re-enlisted as veterans
and were mustered into the service on March 30, 1864.
No better test of patriotism could have been shown by these brave and devoted men. They
knew what war meant, had experienced its hardships, privations and horrors on the march and on
the battlefield. They longed most earnestly to return to home and loved ones and yet, so long
as the supreme object for which they had first enlisted remained to be accomplished, they were
willing to still forego the comforts of home and all its dear associations. To thousands of
these brave and true men, who subsequently died in battle or from sickness, of these brave and
true men, who subsequently died in battle or from sickness, the high resolve to serve their
country to the end was typical of that most sublime feeling that ever dominated the action of a
human being-the feeling of total self-abnegation.
On April 30th the regiment was ordered to Decatur, Ala. During the stay there it was
engaged in fortifying the place and, by way of diversion from such hard labor, had occasional
skirmishes with the enemy's cavalry. On the 15th of June, the re-enlisted men of the regiment
received the long-looked-for and very welcome order to proceed to Iowa on veteran furlough.
After a most enjoyable visit of thirty days at their homes. they returned to the field and
rejoined their comrades at Kingston, Ga., on the 1st of August. The reunited regiment now took
part in various expeditions directed mainly against the rebel General Wheeler's large cavalry
force which, by skillful maneuvering, managed to avoid coming in contact with the Union troops
while inflicting considerable damage by tearing up railroad track and capturing supplies. The
regiment returned from the last of these expeditions on the 15th of September, and again went
into camp at Kingston. In the meantime, the Union cavalry force had been increased
sufficiently to drive the rebel General Wheeler across the Tennessee river, and to relieve the
infantry from the duty of guarding the railroad.
On the 28th of September, 1864, the non-veterans (those who had not re-enlisted) were
mustered out of the service and departed for their homes in Iowa. It must be said here that
these men who had honorably and faithfully fulfilled the terms of their full period of service,
and who did not feel that it was their duty to make the further sacrifice of remaining to the
close of the war, were entitled to the gratitude of every loyal citizen. They were honorably
discharged and returned to their homes to receive the commendations of their neighbors and
friends for their long period of service and sacrifice. Many of them were broken in health,
many bore upon their persons the scars of wounds received in battle, and all had earned the
high regard and cordial welcome which was everywhere extended to them upon their return.
Early in October the Tenth Iowa Veteran Infantry received about 150 recruits, a number a
little more than equal to that of the non-veterans mustered out. On the 3d of October the
regiment moved from Kingston to Cartersville, and thence to Atlanta, where General Sherman had
concentrated his army, preparatory to beginning his march to Savannah.
The story of that great march through the State of Georgia, "from Atlanta to the Sea,"
has been immortalized in song, and has its place in history as one of the most remarkable
military expeditions ever undertaken, or accomplished. . The Tenth Iowa, as a part of the
Third Division of the Fifteenth Army Corps, participated actively in this great march, and in
the reduction of the enemy's works around Savannah, the capture of Fort McAllister, the opening
of communication with the federal fleet, in the harbor, and the occupation of the city, on the
21st day of December, 1864, after which the regiment went into camp a short distance from the
city and remained there until January 9, 1865. On the last named date, the concluding campaign
of the war began. The regiment with its brigade and division crossed the river and entered the
State of South Carolina, and began the long and toilsome march towards the North.
For nearly three months the march was continued, under the most difficult conditions;
sometimes over almost impassable roads, wading through swamps, crossing swollen streams,
through almost incessant rains, and frequent skirmishes with the enemy, now rendered desperate
by the certainty that their last line of resistance must soon be overcome. At last, after
marching nearly five hundred miles, the Fifteenth Corps entered Goldsboro, N. C., on the 22d
day of March, 1865, and went into camp for a season of rest and recuperation. Up to this time
the troops had been compelled to subsist mainly upon such supplies as could be obtained from
the country through which they passed, and which had often been found deficient, both in
quantity and quality. Here, however supplies were obtained in abundance from the seaboard, and
the soldiers improved rapidly in health and strength.
The regiment left Goldsboro on the 7th of April. Their next halting place was at
Raleigh, N. C., where they witnessed the caplitulation of the rebel army under General Johnston
and the removal of the last organized resistance to the Union army in its victorious march to
Petersburg and Richmond, and on to Washington. Arrived at Washington, the regiment
participated in the grand review, and afterwards returned to its camp near the city, where it
remained until early in June, when it was ordered to Louisville, Ky., where it remained until
the latter part of June, when it was ordered to proceed to Little Rock, Ark., where it arrived
early in July. Here it remained until August 15, 1865, on which date it was mustered out of
the service, and proceeded to Davenport, Iowa, where it was disbanded, and the men were sent to
their homes.
The record of the Tenth Iowa Infantry is absolutely without blemish. In its long and
arduous service in ten of the states that were in rebellion against the Government, its many
battles, its weary marches, its patient endurance of hardships, its implicit obedience to
orders--in all that goes to make up a history of service well and faithfully performed, the
regiment stands in the from rank of Iowa's splendid military organizations. No man who served
in its ranks and contributed to its good record could leave a more glorious heritage to his
posterity. The State of Iowa has honored itself in making provision for the permanent
preservation in its archives of the military history of the men who fought for the maintenance
of the Union in the great War of the Rebellion. So long as patriotism is honored among men
will these records be perused by the loyal sons and daughters of tthe heroic men who gave their
services to their county in her time of greatest need.
