On February 22, 1862, Reid was appointed colonel of the 15th Iowa Volunteer Infantry Regiment for service in the Union Army during(Submitted on January 20, 2024, by James Hulse of Medina, Texas.)the Civil War. Colonel Reid and the 15th Iowa first saw combat at the Battle of Shiloh. Because his regiment arrived on the field of battle once the fighting had already begun it was rushed to the thickest of the fight and was attached to Benjamin M. Prentiss' division fighting around the Hornet's Nest. During the fighting Reid was severely wounded in the neck and was presumed dead. His body was recovered and brought to the rear where he soon regained enough consciousness to rejoin the fighting. Reid was out of action for a time following the battle but fully recovered despite the Chicago Tribune running an article stating he had been paralyzed. Reid returned to command a brigade in the Army of the Tennessee stationed around Corinth, Mississippi.
