There is an article in the Civil War Time of May 1981 entitled: "the Golden Age Regiment -IOWA'S GRAYBEARDS" by George R. Skoch. If you had an ancestor in this regiment you might want to try to find the magazine. Civil War Times might have copies? There is a photo of Colonel George Washington Kincaid, "teetotaling" commander of the Iowa Graybeards. My great great grandfather, Gideon Bullis is mentioned "who died very sudden of brain fever." "The harsh duty on Rock Island was the low point in the regiment's history. After an inspection of the island in March 1864, Surgeon August Clark, acting inspector of prisons, delivered a scathing denunciation of the Graybeards. he called them "...a regiment of decrepit old men and the most unpromising subjects for soldiers I ever saw." There are two photos of the prison and a drawing of the Graybeards as they paraded through the streets of St. Louis, January 1, 1863. I had this magazine stored away and finally found it. I believe you can find the Civil War Times Illustrated online. I remember looking them up several years ago. Coral Barker Allbee Yucca Valley, CA
