Due to the massive numbers of sick and wounded soldiers in the U.S. Army, the U.S. States Sanitary Commission was created June 13, 1861 to assist the Army Medical Bureau. However, following the Battle of Wilson's Creek, every hospital ward in St. Louis was filled, and humane care of the wounded was lacking. As a result, the Union citizens of St. Louis with the help of Mrs. Jessie Benton Fremont and the St. Louis Ladies Union Aid Society made known their resolution to see that the government provide better health care of its sick and wounded west of the Mississippi. As a result, the Western Sanitary Commission was established on Sept. 5, 1861.
The following steamers were converted as floating hospitals and served as part of the Western Sanitary Commission hospital fleet : "City of Louisiana", set out on March 20, 1862, later renamed the "R. C. Wood"; the "D. A. January"; the "Empress"; the "Imperial"; the "Crescent City"; the "Red Rover"; the "City of Alton"; the "City of Memphis"; the "Nashville".
The following men are of the Iowa Infantry regiments, and died on the steamer
1. David M. Slife, Ninth, Iowa Infantry, Co. K., Died of Scarlet fever, April 28, 1863.
2. Charles M. Skinner, Twelfth, Iowa Infantry, Co. G., Died July 10, 1863.

Battle on Steamer Crescent City. May 18, 1863.
Following this report there will be a list of those wounded.
It should be noted that this action took place near Island No. 82.
-------------------------------
HEADQUARTERS THIRD IOWA INFANTRY,
July 6, 1863
COLONEL: I have the honor to submit the following report of the action of the THIRD Iowa Infantry on board the steamer Crescent City, May 18, 1863, with guerrillas, and the part taken by it during the siege of Vicksburg:
The regiment left Memphis, Tenn.,. May 17, 1863, in company with the other regiments composing the First Brigade, fourth DIVISION, SIXTEENTH Army Corps. Nothing of interest occurred until about 1 p. m. of the river, near Island Number 82, and about 3 miles above the town of Greeneville, MISS. The Crescent City, on which the regiment was embarked, was at the time about 1 mile in advance of the fleet. The enemy opened on the boat, when within 150 yards of the shore, with three pieces of artillery and a heavy fire of musketry. Two companies, who were on guard at the time, promptly returned the fire, but so sudden and unexpected was the attack, and so short its duration, that the regiment had but a poor opportunity to do much execution until the boat, that got beyond musket range.
We had one section of A. Schwartz'[battery on board, one piece of which was used with food effect on the battery on shore. We were at the time under the convoy of one of the boats of the Mosquito fleet,, which came up to our assistance, but not until the enemy were in full retreat. In this affair we lost 14 men wounded, a list of whom you will find appended. On the morning of the 19th, the regiment disembarked at Young's Point, and started toward the interior, but were immediately ordered back to re-embark for Snyder's Bluff, where we landed on the morning of the 20th. Here we remained until the 24th, when we received marching orders, and with the rest of the brigade proceeded to the rear of Vicksburg, and took position on the left of the besieging line, and became part of the investing g force. From this time up to the surrender of the place, on the 4th of July, the regiment took part in all the siege operations carried on in our front. The duty now was of the most arduous character, and calculated to put to the severest test the bravery and fortitude of the men. I shall only instance a few of the most important operations in which the regiment was engaged during the siege.
On the night of the 1st of June, companies F and G were supporting a section of the FIFTH Ohio Battery, which had been posted early in the evening in an advanced position. The enemy had detected the movement, and about 11 o'clock made a sortie in considerable force to capture the guns and their small support. Our men were on the alert for them, and twice repulse them; the last time when they had got up within 10 feet of the guns, which played havoc in the ranks with canister. On the evening of the 4th, of June, a portion of the regiment on picket duty on the left of the brigade line, crossing of parrots of Companies A, b, d, f, and H, with 20 men and 1 commissioned officer of the Thirty-THIRD Wisconsin Regiment, numbering in all about 150, were ordered to advance and drive the enemy from his line of rifle pits on the crest of a ridge south of the Hall's Ferry road and about 300 yards in our front. At the signal, the men rushed forward with a deafening, cheer, under a heavy fire of musketry and artillery, and in less than FIFTEEN minutes we had gained the crest and driven the enemy from their pits and into their works beyond, from which five pieces of artillery continued shelling us for about half an hour; but from the advantageous position we had gained,, their MISSILES fell harmless, owing to the fact that he enemy's aim was too high. We lost but 2 men wounded in the engagement.
On the nigh of the 24th of June, 200 men of the regiment were sent to the trenches, under the command of Major G. W. Crosley, as a working party. On their arrival at the trenches about 10 p. m., the guards were stationed in advance of the rifle-pits to guard the working party, which was engaged in digging a sap toward the main fort in our front. The night was dark, and a slight rain falling just as the men had got fairly to work, the guard in front were fiercely attacked and driven in, and the enemy advance in force and demanded a surrounded. Our men seized their arms, sprang to their places in the trenches, and delivered a terrific fire, causing the enemy no falter and then fall back about 75 yards, from which they continued to fire with both musket and artillery for about three-fourths of an hour, our men responding with energy, and getting the last shot. Our loss was 1 man killed and 2 slightly wounded. The enemy's loss, as we afterward ascertained, was 15 killed and wounded, including the colonel commanding, who was killed.
Very respectfully, your obedient servant.

What The Rosters Didn't Say.
When one is looking for a ancestor or a name interest who was a soldier in the Civil War. We begin by looking for his regiment roster. Now these rosters give us some information which is important to know to be sure, but for the most part their incomplete. It’s not the fault of the researcher, it comes down to the lack space. Because of the lack of space we are face with jumping from web site to web site, looking for more information.
Some of us will give up after finding the same information over and over again. There are many web sites that could be a gold mine of information if you just keep looking and don’t give up. Case in point is the following information.
This information come from the records of the Seventh Pennsylvania Cavalry.

Authors Note.
As I stated in the beginning I was limited to space and would only pick a few names from each company. There are still hundreds of names to research, so if you didn’t find your ancestor or name of interest, I will be gald to look your name up on request, and you can by the following address. dsegelquist1@cox.net
Most of the names not only give their military record, They also give the place of residence and the date of their of death and place of their burial . Now all will not have this extra information but many will.
Some of us will give up after finding the same information over and over again. There are many web sites that could be a gold mine of information if you just keep looking and don’t give up. Case in point is the following information.
This information come from the records of the Seventh Pennsylvania Cavalry. I will cover all companies, but here again because of the lack space I will only pick a few names of interest from each company. I well first give the information from the roster, then in a ( note ) I will add the information that was not found on the rosters.

Authors Note.
As I stated in the beginning I was limited to space and would only pick a few names from each company. There are still hundreds of names to research, so if you didn’t find your ancestor or name of interest, I will be gald to look your name up on request, and you can by the following address. dsegelquist1@cox.net
Most of the names not only give their military record, They also give the place of residence and the date of their of death and place of their burial . Now all will not have this extra information but many will.
