JOHN VALENTINE BOWMAN (1824 ~ 1903) John Valentine Bowman was born in Dauphin County, Pennsylvania on September 18th, 1824. He was the son of Mr. Thomas Bowman, and the former Ms. Anna Woland.
John initially enlisted on June 3rd, 1862, but was commissioned a Captain, in Company I, 54th Indiana Infantry Regiment twenty-seven days later. Later that month, the regiment was ordered to Kentucky, with other troops, to resist an invasion of that state. Confederate General Kirby Smith had threatened the surrounding area with daring raids, and the 54th Indiana was one of the closest regiments available for duty. The 54th remained in central Kentucky for almost 4 weeks before returning to Indianapolis to mustering out ceremonies; their term of service had expired and the emergency had ended.
Not content that he had served his county and help save the Union, John enlisted again on October 25th, 1862. He was commissioned a Captain again, this time in Company B, 54th Indiana Infantry Regiment; the regiment was reorganized, this time as a one year regiment.
