Not
many of those who matched, fought and suffered in its ranks remain upon
earth, but to those who May live to peruse what is here written will come
the assurance that the State, which sent them forth in the strength of
their young manhood, to fight the battles of their country, has made such
provision as was possible to perpetuate the memory of each brave and
faithful soldier of the old regiment.
These
men of the Third Iowa Cavalry have left the impress of their lives upon
the history of their State and Nation, not only as brave soldiers in time
of war but as good citizens in every honorable avocation of life. Some of
their number have been highly honored since the close of the war, and have
achieved fame and distinction in the high places to which they have been
assigned, but, to each one who faithfully served his country in her hour
of greatest need, posterity owes a debt of gratitude which can never be
fully repaid. or the greater part of that period they marched and fought
together, and re-enlisted about the same time as "Veteran
Volunteers" their dead and those of the enemy they encountered, lie
upon many battlefields, from the plains of Kansas to the mountains of
Georgia.
