 IOWA CIVAL WAR GRAYBEARD UNIT
Kirkwood and Baker wanted the young men of Iowa to do their share and more to bring about victory for the Union.
So it was that in the fall of 1862, Kirkwood named Kincaid colonel of the new regiment, the 37th Iowa--soon to be known as the "Greybeards" or the "Silver Greys." Baker had every confidence the regiment would succeed in raising enlistments and in providing some level of service for the war effort.
Baker wrote Kirkwood that Kincaid was "large as life, happy as a clam, and proud as a peacock." Kincaid had reason to be proud; he had risen almost overnight from being a complete unknown, far removed from the action and glory of war, to holding a commissioned position of power in the Federal military.
