Excerpt from Annals of Iowa, Vol. 3: October 1898 Our first night with the command was spent in camp near Medium Lake. The next morning we ate our scanty meal, struck camp, and were on the march shortly after sunrise, toiling through the snows which were growing deeper as we went northward. We found ourselves at night in camp near Mud Lakes. Here was an opportunitv for the officers to show their interest in their commands and their good judg ment in a most commendable manner. Many of the men were so exhausted that on coming into camp they threw themselves upon their blankets and were determined to sleep without a mouthful of food; and the picture is before me until this day, of Capt. Charles B. Richards and Lieutenant F. A. Stratton, of our company, with two or three of the men, cutting wood, punching the fire, and baking pancakes, until long after midnight; and as they would get enough baked for a meal they would waken some tired and hungry man and give him his supper: and the exercises in Company A were but a sample of what was in progress in each of the companies.

Excerpt from Annals of Iowa, Vol. 12: A Historical Quarterly; October, 1920 Who has forgotten that electric shock, even at this distance? Long years have come and gone since the heart of the whole North was convulsed by the attack and capture of Fort Sumter, but the sorrow and wrath of that day have never been forgotten and never can be. The conviction of danger and the impulse to self-preservation were alike universal. The call of President Lincoln, on the day following the sur render, for 7 5,000'volunteers to defend the Old flag seemed only the reflection of a greater call from every hearthstone in the broad land.' When that memorable proclamation said: I appeal to all loyal citizens to favor, facilitate and aid this effort to main tain the honor, the integrity and the existence of our National Union and the perpetuity of popular government, and to redress the wrongs already long enough endured, it found the country already in arms. Forty-eight hours later, regiments were en route for Washington, and in two days more, a hundred thousand men had offered and were being rapidly organized for instant service.

Excerpt from Annals of Iowa: Volumes I-VIII; April, 1893-January, 1909; Index In the first biennial report, 1893, Charles Aldrich, founder and curator of the State Historical Department of Iowa, detailed its origin and purpose in the following language: Need for the Department. At the capitals of most states collections of the data for their own history, and that of surrounding regions, have been 111 progress for many years - in some from their first organization. Wis cousin, the model western state in this regard, has been engaged in this work fifty years. Kansas for nearly half that period. Possibly a like effort might have been instituted at the capital of Iowa, but the founding of the State Historical Society at Iowa City, in the year 1857, had the effect to in Spire a belief that that organization was taking adequate care of this impor tant interest. Such a result, however, was an impossibility. For the society was destitute of the necessary funds. True, the organization has been kept up until now. The members, individually, have done everything in their power to increase the collections. All that the members could do was done, but no such institution, thus meagerly supported, can attain the ends sought. Meantime, the years were rolling by. The early settlers of the State were rapidly disappearing, either by death or removal to other regions, and all their recollections of pioneer times were fading away. Their places were occupied by new comers, who could not reasonably be expected to take much interest or pride in the Iowa of early days, for the reason that they knew little about it, and little of its history had been preserved.
