SAMUEL CASWELL VAUGHT
His Military Service: Pvt. Capt. Coffey's Mounted Alabama Volunteers, Indian Wars. He helped move Indians out of Alabama to Oklahoma on the Trail of Tears. For his military service, the government granted him 160 acres in Arkansas in Crawford County
NOTE: There are always two sides to a story. The Trail of Tears, as some of us see it, was a tragic event. Listed is an excerpt regarding The Trail of Tears which affected not only the Cherokee Nation, but many other tribes as well.
Under orders from President Jackson, the U.S. Army began enforcement of the Removal Act. Around 3,000 Cherokees were rounded up in the summer of 1838 and loaded onto boats that traveled the Tennessee, Ohio, Mississippi, and Arkansas Rivers into Indian Territory. Many were held in prison camps awaiting their fate. In the winter of 1838-39, 14,000 were marched 1,200 miles through Tennessee, Kentucky, Illinois, Missouri, and Arkansas into rugged Indian Territory.
An estimated 4,000 died from hunger, exposure and disease. The journey became an eternal memory as the "trail where they cried" for the Cherokees and other removed tribes. Today it is remembered as the Trail of Tears.

George Samuel RICHARDSON, Company D 18th Regiment of Iowa Infantry, Union Army from 1862 to July 20th, 1865.
| The Eighteenth Infantry regiment was organized under the call of July 4, 1862, for 300,00 men. It was mustered into the United States service August 6, 1862, with a rank and file of 860 men, John Edwards, colonel. On the 11th of August it started for the field. While it has not the prominent record of some Iowa regiment it was none the less efficient in service, brave in action, prompt in duty. That it is not so notable is because there is less known of it. From the time it whipped and cleaned out the braggart Marmaduke at Springfield, Missouri, January 8, 1862, who attacked with at least 1870 men, while the Eighteenth had only 500 men, on to fight with Price, Apr 30, 1864, its conduct was such to elicit high commendation from division commanders. It had the reputation of getting out of difficulties through smaller chances than few would have dared attempted. At Poison Spring was a notable instance. The regiment got completely isolated and hemmed in on all sides by the enemy. It flocked together and wormed itself out, fighting rod by rod, scattering the enemy by charges when it would reform and occupy the vacuum, and thus cut its was out and returned to Camden. In May, 1864 it returned to Fort Smith Arkansas, having marched 730 miles over mountains, through swamps, subsisting on raw corn, wading days and nights through mud and water. At Fort Smith it remained during the summer and fall of 1864, making in the meantime several long and brilliant expeditions. February 26, 1865, four companies were sent to Van Buren, Arkansas, for garrison duty, until Jul 6, when the regiment was ordered to Little Rock for mustered out. July 21, it started for Davenport, where Aug 5, the men were discharged having served three years and two days. The regiment marched 4,160 miles. Of the original number of the regiment by four hundred returned for muster out. Of the original officers but eight returned. Keokuk county was represented in companies A, D, I. |
