5th Iowa Infantry

Am searching for first person accounts (letters, diaries, newspaper accounts, ect.) of members of the 5th Iowa Infantry for continuing research on the regiment. All help appreciated!

Re: 5th Iowa Infantry

I dont know much about the 5th Iowa. I was trying to figure out which 8 flags MG.Cleburne's division and other regiments captured. The 5th Iowa lost both of their flags at Tunnel Hill/Missionary Ridge. I believe the 5th Iowa had around 210 men and lost 50% mostly captured.
