Iowa Valor

Book excerpt: IOWA VALOR tells the heroic involvement of Iowa's sons & fathers in their own words. Readers will experience the Civil War & learn of a state's involvement in the Civil War, of which little has been written, but of which there is much to be proud. Unknown to many, 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 by using their first-hand accounts from letters, diaries, battle reports & war correspondence to newspapers. By using first-hand accounts, the book reveals the Civil War as actually seen & felt by soldiers & command officers who were actually there. IOWA VALOR also includes factual summaries about battles, Iowa Civil War Regiments & notable individuals, by Author Steve Meyer. Available from Meyer Publishing, Box 247, Garrison, IA 52229.
