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 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.
