Varied career of P. E. Shaver highlighted in Muscatine
Kalona native P. E. Shaver, en route to the Davenport encampment, recalls a life spanning three wars and extensive U S travel. He fought Indians in 1850 after crossing the plains, served in Civil War Company F 1st Iowa Cavalry, lived in Muscatine since 56 years ago last April, and toured the Mississippi from Lake Itasca to the gulf. He values Muscatine County farms but notes Minneapolis was once a government reserve. He also visited Muscatine during Indian era and California, then returned via the Isthmus of Panama. He remains remarkably well preserved and ready for future travel if needed.
