Synopsis

Iowa Colonels And Regiments: Being A History Of Iowa Regiments In The War Of The Rebellion; And Containing A Description Of The Battles In Which They Have Fought by Addison A. Stuart is a historical-biographical volume that honors Iowa’s Civil War troops by interweaving officer biographies with regimental histories and battle summaries. Spanning the Civil War era, it profiles governors, adjutants-general, colonels, and brigadiers, tracing their actions across the Western Theater—from Wilson’s Creek and Fort Donelson to Shiloh, Vicksburg, the Atlanta and Dalton campaigns, and operations along the Mississippi and in Arkansas. The work blends life-like portraits with narrative accounts of campaigns, battles, and performances, enriched by anecdotes, character assessments, and excerpts from official reports. It emphasizes valor, steadfastness, and the memory of Iowa’s soldiers, while noting human costs, leadership styles, and post-war fates. Designed as a reference for Iowa military heritage, regimental rosters, and battle-by-battle histories, the volume balances reverence with critical or humorous asides and aims to memorialize Iowa’s substantial contribution to the Union war effort.
