Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Civil War Regiments from Iowa, 1861-1865," provides the histories of the Hawkeye State's 45 infantry regiments, 8 cavalry regiments, and 4 light artillery batteries as well as the military events in the state during the war. Iowa regiments conducted themselves well in the field and many earned good and honorable names for themselves. The 2nd and 7th Iowa Infantry lost 54 and 74 men killed and mortally wounded in the capture of Fort Donelson. The 3rd Iowa suffered 40 killed and mortally wounded at Shiloh and the 13th Infantry 41. At Iuka, Mississippi, the fifth lost 62 killed and at Pea Ridge, Arkansas, the 9th lost 74. The 2nd Iowa Cavalry participated in Grierson's Raid through Mississippi, and the 1st Iowa Cavalry performed brilliantly at the Battle of Elkin's Ferry, Arkansas. Iowa sent 75,000 men to fight for the Union, losing 3,500 in combat and another 9,400 to disease and other causes. William F. Fox counts 10 Iowa regiments among his 300 fighting regiments. Fox says the "Iowa Brigades made brilliant records in the field, and secured for their state a full share of laurels of the war." The 22nd, 24th, and 28th regiments were the only Iowa regiments to see service in Virginia, and that was only for a brief period. Numerous Iowans achieved the rank of Brigadier or Major General, including Samuel R. Curtis, James M. Tuttle, Francis J. Herron, Grenville M. Dodge, and Benjamin H. Grierson.

Download or read book Freedom by the Sword written by William A. Dobak and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2013-02-01 with total page 616 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Civil War changed the United States in many ways—economic, political, and social. Of these changes, none was more important than Emancipation. Besides freeing nearly four million slaves, it brought agricultural wage labor to a reluctant South and gave a vote to black adult males in the former slave states. It also offered former slaves new opportunities in education, property ownership—and military service. From late 1862 to the spring of 1865, as the Civil War raged on, the federal government accepted more than 180,000 black men as soldiers, something it had never done before on such a scale. Known collectively as the United States Colored Troops and organized in segregated regiments led by white officers, some of these soldiers guarded army posts along major rivers; others fought Confederate raiders to protect Union supply trains, and still others took part in major operations like the Siege of Petersburg and the Battle of Nashville. After the war, many of the black regiments took up posts in the former Confederacy to enforce federal Reconstruction policy. Freedom by the Sword tells the story of these soldiers' recruitment, organization, and service. Thanks to its broad focus on every theater of the war and its concentration on what black soldiers actually contributed to Union victory, this volume stands alone among histories of the U.S. Colored Troops.

Download or read book Eagles on Their Buttons written by Versalle F. Washington and published by University of Missouri Press. This book was released on 1999 with total page 131 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Eagles on Their Buttons is a fascinating examination of the Fifth Regiment of Infantry, United States Colored Troops -- the Union Army's first black regiment from Ohio. Although the Fifth USCT was one of more than 150 regiments of black troops making up more than 10 percent of the Union Army at the end of the war, it was unique. The majority of USCT regiments were made up of freed men who viewed the army as an escape from slavery and a chance to take up arms against their former masters. The men serving in the 5th USCT, however, were freemen who were raised in a northern state and saw serving in the army both as a way to gain equal rights under the law and as an opportunity to prove their worth as men.

Download or read book Tramps Triumphs of the Second Iowa Infantry written by John T. Bell and published by . This book was released on 2011-04-01 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the forgotten story of the Second Iowa Infantry and one of the most stirring chapters in the annals of Iowa and the Civil War. The regiment was the first enlisted in the state for three years' service, and the 989 men mustered into its ranks were the first Iowa troops to take the field in June, 1861. Fully 2,000 Iowans fought and died in the service of this gallant regiment before the end of the war. Nearly half of them succumbed to exposure and disease or fell in a score of bitter battles. Few regiments of the Civil War volunteers had a more notable battle record. The men of the Second Iowa led Grant's victorious charge on Fort Donelson in February, 1862, to give the North its first good news of the war. They fought stubbornly in the "Hornet's Nest" at the bloody battle of Shiloh, and suffered nearly one-third of their 346 officers and men killed or wounded in helping to repulse the Confederate attack at Corinth, Mississippi, in October. The survivors of the Second Iowa returned to their homes and families in July, 1865, having endured their full share of misery and horror of the war. The brief but valuable recollections of Lt. John T. Bell provide one of the few remaining original sources of a fighting regiment of Civil War volunteers. Lieutenant Colonel John Bell rose from the ranks at the age of 19 to become company commander after joining the Second Iowa Infantry in December, 1861.
