About this title

Synopsis

Iowa Valor tells of Iowa's role in the Civil War, of which little has been written. No state in the Union Army had a greater involvement than Iowa. From the very first skirmish at Monroe Station, Missouri, through the very last engagement at Horse Creek, Kansas, every major episode of the Civil War that Iowa troops were involved in is covered, using their first-hand accounts from letters, diaries, battle reports and war correspondence. By using first-hand accounts, the book reveals the Civil War as seen and felt by soldiers and command officers who were actually there. Includes 150 period photographs and more than 250 first-hand Civil War combat descriptions by Iowa soldiers.
