The 8th, 12th & 14th Iowa comprised 4/5ths of the troops in "The Hornet's Nest" at Shiloh. They held their ground for 10 hours against attack after attack allowing the Union time to bring reinforcements to rear lines and snatch victory from defeat. Finally surrounded by 10 times their number and out of ammunition they had no choice but to throw down their arms and surrender only to see many of their number shot down with their arms in the air. The majority of all three regiments were captured. The enlisted men were sent to various prisons in Alabama & Georgia suffering great privation. They were paroled and exchanged at various times in 1862. In 1863, the 14th was reunited and reorganized at Davenport,IA. Duty at Cairo,IL until Jan 1864.

(Info from "The Union Army" published 1908) This information from KL Bonnett The 14th was stationed at camp Butler outside Springfield Illinois in early 1865 when the shocking news arrived that Lincoln had been assassinated. The 14th Iowa therefore was on hand in the right place and time to serve as escorts and honor guards for the funeral and burial of President Lincoln. Some were selected to stand watch over the bier as Lincoln's body lie in state at the Illinois capital and others were chosen to guard the crypt after his entombment. The rest marched as escorts in the procession to the capital and then to the cemetery.
