THE REGIMENTAL
MONUMENTS.
The eleven regimental monuments are uniform in size and
design, differing only in the inscriptions. They, like the state monument, are
built of Barre, Vermont, granite and United States standard bronze. A monument
is erected to each Iowa regiment engaged in the battle and stands at the point
where the regiment fought the longest and suffered its greatest loss. Upon a
bronze tablet set in the granite is described the part taken by the regiment in
the battle. The commission prepared the design for these monuments. The
contract for their erection was let to P. N. Peterson Granite Company of St.
Paul, Minnesota, for eighteen thousand and fifty-one dollars. SOURCE: Alonzo Abernathy, Editor, Dedication of Monuments Erected By The State Of Iowa, p. 291
