Soldiering in the Sixties University Recruits to 12th Iowa
Foreword notes that Soldiering in the Sixties recounts select incidents from the University Recruits’ military career rather than a full history. It details enlistment in 1861, enrollment of 101 men, transfer to Company C, 12th Iowa Infantry, and the unit’s early formation, officers, and hardships at Benton Barracks and Camp Union as the recruits join the Civil War effort.
