POETIC HISTORY OF THE 7TH IOWA REGIMENT: TRIP TO PITTSBURG LANDING, by                    
First Line: Again our good regiment got under way
Last Line: From sweet smelling blossoms the north has in june.
Subject(s): American Civil War; U.s. - History


Again our good regiment got under way,
And reached this good Landing in five or six days.
Thus, having arrived there all sickly or lame
We gladly did enter the forest again.

There the Seventh recovered their vigor once more,
By roaming the forest which here lines the shore,
For their senses were greeted with floral perfume
From sweet smelling blossoms the North has in June.
