NJ. Byers, the author of Iowa in War
Times" says Of the 3Sth Iowa: "The story
of this regiment is short and melancholy.
As an organization it never saw battle,
and yet no Iowa regiment in the service
lost so many men in so short time. Out of
full strength of $40 men not less than 81
were dead within year and half, and
another ITO had been discharged as broken
down too much to serve. 1t is doubtful if
any command in all the United States suf-
fered as this command did. 1t died at it's
post fighting the deadly malaria of south
ern swamp-that around the lower Missis-
sippi."
