INFO:
"The 44th Regiment Iowa Volunteer Infantry was ...an infantry regiment that served in the Union Army during the American Civil War. It was among scores of regiments that were raised in the summer of 1864 as Hundred Days Men, an effort to augment existing manpower for an all-out push to end the war within 100 days.
The 44th Iowa Infantry was organized at Davenport, Iowa, and mustered in for one-hundred days Federal service on June 1, 1864, as part of a plan to raise short-term regiments for service as rear area garrison duty to release veteran troops for Sherman's Atlanta Campaign. The 44th Iowa garrisoned strategic points in the Memphis, Tennessee, district.
The regiment was mustered out at Davenport on September 15, 1864." (WIKI)
