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.
There is no separate history of the 26th, just a chapter here and there in the general histories of Iowa in the CW. These are all out of print, but most are included on the Greyhounds and Hawkeyes CD ROM available at our website.
