SECOND IOWA CAVALRY.
J. NJ. Mahr, Co. A, eth ILL., Cav, Nc
Cune, Kans., writes: ''In the Pictorial
History of the Great Civil War, by John
Laird Wilson, on page 613, under the
heading Saints Retreat is the following:
A scene of the widest confusion follow
ed, the I'd Iowa becoming panic-stricken,
and stampeding the whole of Col. Nc
Crells's Brigade This does a gallant
regiment injustice The I'd Iowa Cav.
never became panic-stricken; on the con-
trary. it was always cool and steadfast.
If our memory serves US right the event
reported took place near Okolona, Miss,
Feb. %, 1864, about o'clock p. m. and
the regiment that caused the stampede was
the I'd N. j. Cav. We may be mistaken
as to the regiment, but we do know it was
not the I'd Iowa, for it was in our bril-
gade."
