2nd Lt Company D 14th Iowa in the Civil War.
"Before leaving the west he had raised part of a company of volunteers but learning that the California regiments would not be in active service he immediately ceased his efforts in that direction and took passage for New York. He enlisted at Fort Donelson, Tennessee, joining Company D, Fourteenth Iowa Volunteer Infantry, commanded by Colonel W. T. Shaw. The first important engagement in which he took part was at Shiloh. All day he fought with his regiment at the historic spot afterwards designated as the Hornet's Nest, and at that point the entire regiment was captured at six o'clock on the afternoon of the 6th of April, 1862. For three months he was imprisoned in the Confederate prison at Macon, Georgia, and then was paroled at Huntsville, Alabama, to the Union lines and later was exchanged at St. Louis. Soon thereafter he was promoted to the rank of second lieutenant and served as acting quartermaster of his regiment throughout the remainder of the struggle or until November, 1864. He participated in a number of engagements besides Shiloh, including the battles of Pleasant Hill, Cain River, Yellow Bayou, Tupelo, Pilot Knob and others, and in 1864 he was honorably discharged by order of the war department of the United States government." (ref: extraction from IAGenWeb, History of Lee County, Iowa, Vol II, 1914)
