Chapter 6

The Outpost

CHAPTER VI

In Defense of the Flag

On the breaking out of the Civil War, Monroe County, from her close proximity to the pro slavery border, was one of those new counties upon which the evil stroke of war fell with a heavy hand. She was ill prepared at the time to make the great sacrifice, but the record of her soldier boys, and of her fathers, upon whose locks time had left its frost marks, shows that they not only took their lives in their own hands, but bowed to a still greater sacrifice, in leaving behind, in privation, their wives and little ones, to battle with hunger and possibly to suffer at the hands of guerrilla hordes from across the Missouri border.
No pen of later days can depict the thrilling scenes that still haunt the memories of those who lived in that joyless spring of 1861. The robin and the bluebird were trilling their happy notes; and the wild flowers were blooming on

the hillsides and in the forests, innocently unconscious of impending harm; but there was a blanched look upon every cheek. The farmer did not hitch up his plow and go out into the fields; the merchant locked his store door to attend the "Union meeting." There was the roll of the drum in the streets, and the shuffling of feet in measured tread by night and day; there was the singing of patriotic songs by the choir of female voices upon the roof of the court house, and the hurried enrollment of volunteers. Then came the day when the boys said good bye to their parents, their friends, and their sweethearts, wives, and little ones. The young wife tried to smile through her tears in trying to assure her husband that she would take care of things until he came back; then when he said good bye, and the column was marching away, she lingered at the front gate, watching him disappear perhaps forever, and it was then that she felt the weight of helplessness and despair. The young soldier was hurried to the front before he scarcely learned the use of a musket. He saw for the first time the maneuvering of regiments, and heard the jarring sounds which only can come from the rapid wheeling of artillery over rough ground. He had perhaps seen cannon before in his Northern home, but he had only known them as a harmless engine for celebrating public events. He now saw in their blackened visage the engine of death. He knew that from their sulfurous throats would belch the iron hail of death instead of the gala day salute of his peaceful Northern home.
Then there were those who, for sufficient reasons, could not go to war; they had to remain behind, and to their ears, no less loyal than those of the boys at the front, came the echoes of the guns at Ft. Sumter and Manassas. They read the reports of the scathed and bleeding army of McDowell being cut down by the Bull Run batteries, and of the Northern army being hurled back upon the city of Washington, and they realized that they were tied at home, powerless to offer one stroke for the liberty for which others were striving.
Then up from that dreaded border, like auroral streamers, shot the malignant tongues of disloyalty and secession, which stirred up bitterness and strife between friends and neighbors. Nobody could foresee which side would come out victorious in the gathering conflict. The housewife scarcely

dared to express her views to her next door neighbor, lest they should invite strife; for in the days of '61 the public brain was aflame and maddened with partisan zeal, and for a time there were disloyal families in Monroe County, and they were families of social influence. As the war progressed, and success to the Union arms began to appear more favorable, these disunion sympathizers somewhat modified their disloyal sentiments; but whether the change was due to sincere convictions unconsciously instilled by patriotic surroundings, or to politic considerations, cannot be stated, and need not be stated at this late day, if known. Most of those whose sympathies were with the South, and who were liable to conscript duty, skipped to the far West to avoid the draft which was ordered in the latter part of the war. They were designated "draft skedaddlers" and "moss backs."   Some, however, may have evaded the draft merely through a dread of military hardships or a disinclination to stand up and be shot at.
    There were many trials and hardships that the soldier of Monroe County had to meet and undergo which were not experienced by many of those enlisting from older counties. This county was still new, and domestic improvement had not progressed far enough to secure to the settlers many of the comforts of life. Most people were poor. Everybody came to the county poor, a few years previous, and the great majority of those who enlisted were men who were either clearing out homes for themselves and families, on the wild prairies, or were helping dependent parents to establish a home for their old age.
    The volunteer's pay of thirteen or fourteen dollars a month was of course inadequate for the support of a family during his absence, and he felt that at best he would have to return at the close of the war and begin anew with the privations which he had just begun to surmount when his country called for his aid. He was offering too, to the Union, the best part of his life - a time when he should be laying the foundation for his calling.
    The quotas of volunteers to be furnished by Iowa under the Federal calls were as follows:

For 3-month men (75,000), volunteers	2,643
For 500,000 men, volunteers	17,617
For the July 2, 1862, call for 300,000 volunteers	10,570
For the August 4, 1862, call for 300,000 men, to be drafted	10,570
Total for volunteers	41,400
For August 18, 1862, call for men to fill up old regiments	8,500
Total	49,405
Monroe County's quota from this total was 630, of which 619 were raised without drafting, leaving a deficit of only 11 to be raised by draft or voluntary enlistment.
The quota of Appanoose County was	876
The number furnished was	705
Leaving a deficit of	171
The quota of Mahaska was	1,087
Number furnished	946
Leaving a deficit of	141
Wapello's quota was	1,063
She furnished	1,225
An excess of	162
Lucas County's quota was	423
The number furnished was	419
Leaving a deficit of but	4

    The following roster of Monroe County volunteers is compiled mainly from the Adjutant General's Reports and is a nearly correct as it is possible to get them. The Adjutant General's Reports contain frequent inaccuracies, which it has been the aim of the author to herein correct.
    The greater portion of volunteers enlisting in the service from Monroe County were mustered into the Sixth, Twenty Second and Thirty Sixth Infantry, and the First Cavalry.
    Company E of the Sixth was composed very largely of Monroe County men. The list of volunteers for this company overran the maximum limit of enrollment, and a number of men were assigned to other companies.

    In the Thirty Sixth Infantry, Companies A and K were chiefly composed of Monroe County men.
    In the official roster of these companies the residence of a volunteer in many instances is placed in some adjoining county, when he really enlisted from Monroe County. This was when his post office address was in some other county, residence being inferred from post office address.
    The Sixth Iowa Infantry was one of those regiments of the Northern army over whose head seemed to hang the pall of an avenging fate. The Sixth Iowa was composed of boys fresh from the fields and cities of Iowa. They were enrolled, mustered in, and hurried off to the front before they fully realized the great responsibilities which devolved on them as conservers of the nation.
    They were the boys with the steady eye and unwavering columns of veterans. The regiment suffered the greatest loss in killed and wounded of any Iowa regiment. It lost in action 7 officers, and 100 men; 18 officers were wounded, and 469 men.
    In the Thirty Sixth Infantry there were killed in action during the war 35 men, and 25 men died of wounds; also 235 died of disease, 1 committed suicide, and 142 men were wounded.
    Companies A and K were made up from Monroe County. The Eighth, Seventeenth, and Twenty Second Iowa Infantry contained a large number of volunteers from the county; also the First Cavalry. There were also a good many Monroe County men in the Thirty Seventh Infantry, or "Gray-beard Regiment."
