FIRST REGIMENT IOWA VOLUNTEER INFANTRY ~
In the great
drama of the War of the Rebellion, Iowa soldiers played a conspicuous part. The
first hostile shot was fired in Charleston Harbor on the morning of April 12,
1861. A few days later [April 15, 1861] President Lincoln issued his
proclamation calling for 75,000 men for the suppression of the armed rebellion
against the government of the United States.
Long before
[President Lincoln’s proclamation] …….the organized militia companies of
Iowa had tendered their services to Governor Kirkwood in anticipation of the
impending war. …… It will thus be seen that all was in readiness for the
prompt response which was made to Governor Kirkwood's proclamation [for
volunteers].
The ten
companies, which were to become the first regiment from Iowa, were ordered into
quarters by Governor Kirkwood, April 24, 1861, and reached the designated
rendezvous at Keokuk on different dates from May 1 to May 8, 1861.
…a very large
number of the officers and enlisted men of the regiment who were mustered out of
the service, August 21, 1861, re-enlisted as fast as opportunity offered
in the Iowa commissions.
