FOREIGNERS LQYA.
FOUGHT RRAvELYx FOR UNION
DURING THE CIVIL WAR.

Foreign-born citizens were not
slow to prove their loyalty to the
Union during the Civil War. A
large number of them served in the
northern armies, and many, because
of their training in Europe, held po-
sitions of high rank. In recent
publication of the State Historical
Society of Iowa there is printed the
following call which appeared in an
Iowa1 City newspaper just at the out
break of the war: ss"
Having been requested by many
of our fellow citizens to issue call
for general rally of all citizens of
this country who formerly served in
European armies, we, the under
signed, call now on all those of our
countrymen who fought the hirelings
Of tyrants in the eventful struggle
of 184S and 1849, to come forward to
pthe rescue of our adopted couitry,
whose laws we nave sworn to sup
port by our oath of allegiance, and
form company of devoted patriots
who know well their duty to God
and their adopted country. To carry
out this purpose we will, after being
organized, offer our services TO our
country for work of defense and not
for show or play. Our wives and
children will be taken care Of by the
government for the defense of whose
stars and stripes we are eager to
meet freedoms foes once more. Rally,
we sons of Germany, Bohemia and
France!"
