He died in Iowa at the age of 70. and it is believed that had he lived, General Shields might have rep resented that State also in the Senate. He was gallant soldier in the war with Mexico and served with distinction for the union in the. civil war He is remark able likewise as one of the first Union generals to have a clash with StonewalI Jackson and to elicit an overpowering ex- ercise of the transcendant genius of that wonderful military hero.
