Clarke County and the Civil War

Roster for 34th Iowa Infantry

Clarke County Residents

 

Thanks to Norma Jennings for sharing her transcription of Roster and Records of Iowa Troops in the Rebellion volume I-VI by Guy E. Logan.

Note: Not every soldier had his place of residence listed.

"When I had finished writing the above, it was uncertain whether another regiment would be consolidated with the Thirty-fourth or not, and I have delayed forwarding it until I could speak certainly on this point. A few days after the consolidation of the Thirty-fourth into a battalion, it was ordered to this place (Morganza, La.), and the Thirty-eighth Iowa was ordered here with a view of its consolidation with the Thirty-fourth. The Thirty-eighth was delayed for some time, and did not arrive here until a few days ago. The two regiments have now been consolidated. to take effect on the: 1st of January, 1865. I think I have now the largest infantry regiment in this department. It numbers in the aggregate nine hundred fifty men. They are nearly all present for duty, and in fine health and spirits. I am proud of the regiment, and shall take pleasure in commanding it."
