Welcome to the Civil War in the Trans-Mississippi! This is a place where all who share an interest in the Civil War fought west of the Mississippi River can gather to ask questions, share information, and announce news.
I'm looking for new material on the participation of Iowa regiments during Sterling Price's 1864 Missouri Invasion. I've read the standard regimental histories.
Newspaper accounts would be welcome as would also unpublished diaries, memoirs and letters.
Re: Iowa troops during Price's 1864 Missouri Invasion
Have you read all of the letters/narratives in the Cyrus Peterson Pilot Knob collection at the Missouri Historical Society in St. Louis? Just off the top of my head I know there is a narrative from the 14th Iowa regimental adjutant Hogo Hoffbauer, and a very long narrative by the commander, William Campbell. I used the Peterson collection extensively when researching my book "The Battle of Pilot Knob Staff Ride and Battlefield Tour Guide".
