"There is nothing appearing on the record which positively shows that he ever reached his regiment."

"This grant was accepted on the 9th day of January, 1847, by the State of Iowa, as required by the act of Congress."

"The advocates of this measure insist that a point in favor of the settlers upon these lands is found in the following language of the constitution of the State of Iowa..."

"It is by no means certain that this proposed legislation...would be upheld."
