CIVIL WAR HERO.
The Man Who Raised the Stars and
Stripes Over Confederate Capt.
toll in Iowa Soldiers' Home.

AT the soldiers home in MARSHALL
town there is man who figures in the
history of the nation as hero, whose
name appears in the histories of the
country in regard to its civil war as
the one who first foated the stars and
stripes over the capitol OF the Confed-
crate States of America. at Columbia,
S. G.
George w. Dart, of Attica, N. Y, came
to Iowa's home for soldiers in order that
he might be with his comrades, with
whom he fought in those exciting years
In the early COS. Mr.. Dart, who is now
80 years of age. enlisted as an Iowa SOL
dier at Clinton. in, company G, of the
Thirteenth Iowa, one of the regiments of
the famous Croker brigade Dart be-
gan his service as soldier October II, 1861,
and was discharged at Vicksburg, Miss,
IN December 1863 In order that he might
reenlfst on account of the expiration of
his service. After his reenlistment as a
corporal he was discharged July "a. 1865,
at the close of the war, at Louisville, Ky.
The manner In which Dart won for
himself name and fame is an Interesting
one. He was the color guard of the resi-
ment on Sherman's famous march to the
sea, in which the regiment and the
Crocker brigade participated. When the
troops arrived near the confederate cap
ital bit of strategy was attempted,
which worked successfully, and was, at
the time, the cause of an unlimited
amount of comment in the newspapers
of the country. Dart. accompanied by
the lieutenant colonel of the regiment and
a few others, entered the outskirts of CO.
lumbia with colors flying, Dart having
them waving at the head of the small coll
umn of soldiers. The streets We're lined
with confederate soldiers, principally the
southern troops of cavalry. The rebels had
been expecting an assault upon the capital
for days and when the small squad of
unionists appeared the rebels jumped at
conclusions and figured that the entire
union army was back of the advance squad,
consequently fled in haste and disorder,
The little band of soldiers kept on until the
capitol building was reached. when Dart
passed the guards and. mounting the steps,
climbed flight after flight of stairs and
swung the stars and stripes proudly to the
breeze from the staff on the top of the
building.
Darts deed, although referred to in his
tory as one Of the brave acts that trans
pired on the march to the sea, is ex-
tolled greatly in the records and histories
OF the army of the Tennessee. where 1t is
mentioned as being one of the brilliant
things of the campaign.
