Book excerpt: Excerpt from Iowa Soldiers and Sailors in the War of the Rebellion It is for the purpose of reminding you of the eminent service performed, in part, by Iowa boys as sailors in the war of the rebellion that I appear before you. In this effort I shall make brief allusion to the general work of the Navy in order to show how great an honor it is to the people of this State to have identified themselves with this arm of the service by a generous contribution of officers and men during the war of the rebellion. By the erection of the State monument the people of Iowa sought to honor soldiers sent to the front as her part of the greatest army of citizen sol diery ever marshaled on the face of the earth - an army that numbered, exclusive of reenlistments, men, of whom there were killed in battle and by other casualties, and died of disease prior to july 1, 1865, men.
