The Twenty-Eighth Regiment Iowa Volunteer Infantry (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781929919925)

E. E. Blake enlisted in Co. G., 28th Iowa Volunteer Infantry, on August 15, 1862, and served with his regiment throughout the Civil War. Unusual for an Iowa regiment, the 28th Infantry served both in the Western and Eastern Theaters of the War. As an employee of the Belle Plaine, Iowa, Union newspaper in the 1890s, Blake was enticed by his editor to write a personal record of his experiences for an upcoming reunion of the regiment. This book is the result. The original edition, published in 1896 in plain paper wrappers, is extremely scarce. This retypeset edition features a new introduction by local Iowa Historian Roxana Currie.
