Although dramatized, the account faithfully follows the many tales of oral history passed down through the Ledbetter family over preceding generations, revealing a glimpse into the lives of our elders and betters, if often sad, also joyous and profound.

Iowa Out-of-Print Books, Journals, and Pamphlets
Until about 1998, CPB offered in our print catalog several Iowa Civil War titles as published over the last 140 years in various Iowa State Historical Society publications. These are articles as they appeared in the original issues of The Annals of Iowa (published from 1865 to the present), Iowa Historical Record (published from 1885 to 1902), Iowa Jounrnal of History and Politics (published from 1903 to 1961; in the 1940s “and Politics” was droppped from the title and the format was changed), and The Palimpsest (published from 1920 to 1996). I stopped putting these titles in the catalog mostly because of the lack of space, but I still have quite a few of them in inventory. I have at least one copy of each journal article listed below, and in some cases several copies. Most of these articles are listed in Dornbusch’s Military Bibliography of the Civil War. The articles offered here only extend to the early 1990s, although I’m sure more has been published by the State Historical Society on the Civil War since then. Each item is an entire issue of the journal and, despite some being a bit fragile due to age, most are in new, unissued condition. Considering the age and scarcity of some of these items, the prices are quite low. Along with the journal articles I have included a few out-of-print and one-of-a-kind books on Iowa in the Civil War.
If you'd like take the entire lot of 124 items (total value $1147.50) make me an offer.Abbreviations: AI=Annals of Iowa; Cole=Garold L.
