Hi, John,
I found an Oscar Piatt listed in the roster of the 36th Iowa Infantry,
Company A. He was born in Ohio and was 18 when he enlisted Jan. 18, 1864. His
residence is listed as Appanoose Co. He mustered out Aug. 24, 1865, at Devall's
Bluff, Arkansas.
I noticed two other Piatts listed in the Iowa rosters. An Isaiah Piatt in
Co. F, 3rd Iowa Cavalry, was born in PA and was living in Van Buren Co., not far
from Appanoose Co. James M. Piatt served with Company I, 7th Iowa Infantry.

We are about a mile from Atlanta, and still our lines are contracting around
the city. We have had some hard fighting since we set down before Atlanta,
and the 2nd Division has done its full share.
Of the three great battles following [CSA's Gen. John Bell] Hood's taking
command, I was present at one--the 22nd of July. On the morning of that day, by

Dear List, Would anyone know if it was possible for a young man to have been in the Civil War but not be on any documents? We have a Walker family that moved to Iowa between 1858-1860.

His brother John (who also moved to IA) descendants has a family story that Seth was saved from a shipwreck on his way home from the war. His brother Joel (who stayed in WV) descendants has a family story that one brother fought for the s

as Assistant Surgeon of the 16th Iowa Infantry for over a year, up to his

The Brave are Generous.
Charles Wesley Paris, a citizen of Davis County, formerly a member of Company
I, 3rd Iowa Cavalry, was severely wounded at Arkansas Swamp. He received a
shot in one eye which blinded it entirely at the time, and so injured the other
that he has become totally blind. The world has become to him a sealed book.
