Alexander G. Downing enlisted in the Eleventh Iowa Infantry on
August 15, 1861 and kept a diary of his life in the Army until he
was discharged on July 31, 1865. The Eleventh Iowa Infantry was
assigned to the Army of the Tennessee and became part of Crocker's
Iowa Brigade. This unit participated in several major battles,
including Shiloh, Vicksburg and Corinth. They were eventually
assigned to General William Tecumseh Sherman and took part in his
famous "March to the Sea" where they fought in the Battle for
Atlanta. As you read of this soldier's life during one of the most
trying times in our country's history, you will gain an
understanding of what it was like to be a soldier in that great
war. Mr. Downing made entries for each and every day he served so
you will find there were times of boredom as well as moments of
terror and tragedy. You will find both humorous and sad entries as
well as the inner feelings of this truly remarkable American
patriot who experienced so much in the four years he served his
country. This book is part of the Historical Collection of Badgley
