4 LOST FLAG.
Unexpected Recovery of the Old Colors
of the 18th Iowa.

The 18th Iowa. regiment made up
OF the very best material, went out in
October, 1861, under the command OF
Col. Narcellus NJ. Crocker, who subse-
Guently made high reputation. rising to
the command of division before he
went home to die. The regiment was
presented by the ladies of Des Moines
with beautiful silk flag made by their
own hands. This flag was carried tri-
umphantly through Shiloh, where Color
Serg't Huff fell and Color Guard Corp1
Morgan took the banner from his
hands. At the close of the battle the
flag was torn by rebel lead. but around
it lay 10 of the regiment killed and
wounded. 1t went through the bloody
battle OF Corinth, Oct. ga, 1852, and
after that it was replaced by a new flag.
The old one was sent home, but lost
sight of until Sept. 5, 1905. when 1t was
brought to the G.. a. r. National En-
campment at Denver by griZzled,
travel-stained veteran. who inquired for
the Iowa headquarters. There he pro-
duced Il small, carefully-wrapped pack
age, and asked for members of the 18th
Iowa. He found George Ripple. former
ly Lieutenant of Co. G. color company
OF the regiment. The veteran who car
ried the package had served in the 321
Hi, and opening his package, he dis
played the long-lost flag, with story
OF how he received it from the hands
of dying comrade. The dying man
was Corp1 Morgan, of the Color Guard
of the 18th Iowa. He was very sick at
the time of the battle of Corinth. but
nerved himself up 10 carry the colors
through the battle, and then returned
to the hospital, taking the flag with
him. He was discharged for disability
and went West, being probably one OF
those who sought gold and health. Why
he did not return the flag to the State
Capitol is not known, but he carefully
cherished it and carried Ii with him
through all his wanderings as long as
he lived, and his last wish was for its
proper preservation. On his death-bed
he turned it over to the cOmrade. who
brought it to Denver. Lieut. Ripple gave
the flag to George Ragsdale Zone OF the
three Ragsdales of Co. c.. who carried
it to Des Moines and there transferred
it to ex-Color Serg't II. c. Anderson,
by whom it was given into the hands
OF the State Custodian.

tered about 800 of his men and pursued
the rebels. On the second day the
Colonel and IL of his men who were
in advance of the column came 10 a
house on the right of the road. This
vas near town known as Salisbury.
'The Colonel rode toward the house,
and beckoned 10 the boys 10 come ahead.
AS we passed in front of the house the
rebs began to run out, and we fired
into them. In turning the corner of
the house and going down a little hill
my horse stumbled and fell. Part of
the column passed over me and went
to the right into the woods. i sprang
UP, and hearing firing on top OF the
hill, l seized fine horse tied close By
which belonged TO the rebels, and,
mounting the animal, rode to the top
of the hill. Coming near TO where the
firing was, / found Col. Hurse alone
and two rebels on foot firing at him.
I was within about 40 yards of him
when his horse reared and he went
backwards on the animals withers. He
quickly arose and drew another pistol.
by this time l had sprung to the
ground from my horse, and was trying
30 shoot one of the -rebs. But one of
them ran away and Col. Nurse was
taking aim at the other, and had
clipped wisp of hair from the left
side of his head, when he surrendered.
Upon examining the Coloners pistol Il
was found that one of the bullets fired
by the rebels had hit II in the center
of the muZzle, thereby disabling it. The
Colonel asked the reb why he did not
shoot some more before surrendering.
The reb replied because he knew if he
had continued to shoot the Colonel
would have killed him. We captured
ss of the gang. They said they be-
longed TO Old Saul Street. We got as
the spoils of war q carbines that they
had captured from our picket posts al
different times"
