The heroic part taken by Iowa in the war may be better appreciated by a study of the following figures:

Regiment. Battle. K. W. M. Total. Regiment. Battle. K. W. M. Total.
2d Iowa Fort Donelson 33 164   197 16th Iowa Shiloh 17 101 13 131
3d Iowa Shiloh 23 134 30 187 19th Iowa Prairie Grove 45 145 3 193
5th Iowa Iuka 37 179 1 217 22d Iowa Vicksburg 27 118 19 164
6th Iowa Shiloh 52 94 37 183 23d Iowa Big Black 13 88   101
7th Iowa Belmont 51 127 49 227 24th Iowa Champion's Hill 35 120 34 189
9th Iowa Pea Ridge 38 176 4 218 26th Iowa Arkansas Post 18 99   117

There were only three missing numbers in the Iowa line. The 41st was a battalion which was transferred to the 7th Iowa Cavalry. The 42d and 43d Regiments failed to complete their organizations.
