  • The Annals of Iowa for Their Critiques
    The Annals of Volume 66, Numbers 3 & 4 Iowa Summer/Fall 2007 A QUARTERLY JOURNAL OF HISTORY In This Issue J. L. ANDERSON analyzes the letters written between Civil War soldiers and their farm wives on the home front. In those letters, absent husbands provided advice, but the wives became managers and diplomats who negotiated relationships with kin and neighbors to provision and shelter their families and to preserve their farms. J. L. Anderson is assistant professor of history and assistant director of the Center for Public History at the University of West Georgia. DAVID BRODNAX SR. provides the first detailed description of the role of Iowa’s African American regiment, the 60th United States Colored Infantry, in the American Civil War and in the struggle for black suffrage after the war. David Brodnax Sr. is associate professor of history at Trinity Christian College in Palos Heights, Illinois. TIMOTHY B. SMITH describes David B. Henderson’s role in securing legislation to preserve Civil War battlefields during the golden age of battlefield preservation in the 1890s. Timothy B. Smith, a veteran of the National Park Service, now teaches at the University of Tennessee at Martin. Front Cover Milton Howard (seated, left) was born in Muscatine County in 1845, kidnapped along with his family in 1852, and sold into slavery in the South. After escaping from his Alabama master during the Civil War, he made his way north and later fought for three years in the 60th U.S. Colored Infantry. For more on Iowa’s African American regiment in the Civil War, see David Brodnax Sr.’s article in this issue.

  • NATIONAL HOMESTEAD at GETTYSBURG 1866-1877 (A Brief History)
    NATIONAL HOMESTEAD AT GETTYSBURG 1866-1877 (A Brief History) After the Civil War there was a great need and urgency to establish homes for the vast number of children who had lost fathers fighting for the Union during the war. Some of these little ones had no one to care for them, while others may have had mothers who for one reason or another were unable to properly provide for their wellbeing. With this in mind, a group known as the National Association of Philadelphia was founded and chose Gettysburg as the site for an orphanage to provide for the needs of these children. During April and May of 1866 a site was chosen and purchased, the property of Captain John Myers on Baltimore Street at Cemetery Hill consisted of two acres, a large brick house, a stable, well, garden and orchard (The property had been used during the 1863 battle as the headquarters of Major General Oliver O. Howard). To help care for the orphans and oversee the daily management of the establishment a strong dedicated matron would be needed. The choice of this woman was the result of one of the saddest yet heartwarming stories of the Battle of Gettysburg: After the battle, as the dead were being placed in temporary graves, a soldier was found with no identification except for a photo of three small children clutched firmly between his fingers. Before burial that photo was carefully removed and preserved. Word spread of the unfortunate man who had been thinking of his children at the moment of death.

  • St. Ambrose University (The “University”) Is a Private, Catholic, Coeducational, Liberal Arts Institution of Higher Education
    Current Situation General: St. Ambrose University (the “University”) is a private, Catholic, coeducational, liberal arts institution of higher education. The University is organized as an Iowa nonprofit corporation and is a tax-exempt charitable organization described in Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. The St. Vincent’s Center campus of the University is located at 780 West Central Park (this is the address of the Diocese of Davenport) and is bounded by Assumption High School to the west, the Duck Creek Parkway to the north, West Central Park Avenue to the south and residential neighborhoods and the Western Avenue alley to the east. Enrollment: The University’s enrollment has increased 19.2% since 2001, but total enrollment (FTE) has actually decreased 4.7% since 2007. The undergraduate enrollment has mirrored these numbers with total undergraduate enrollment increasing 27.3% since 2001 and decreasing 3.06% since 2007. Graduate enrollments are down 5.2% since 2001 and down 10.9% since 2007. A chart showing total enrollment, undergraduate enrollment and graduate enrollment is shown below: Future Projections In the spring and summer of 2010 the University went through a Strategic Enrollment Planning process to answer the question of how big the University should become over the next ten years (until 2021). This process was facilitated by Noel Levitz, a noted enrollment management firm. The end result of this process was a 2021 enrollment target of 4,250 students. The changes in enrollment are projected to be as follows (with 2010 as a base): Undergraduate - 2010 enrollment of 2,575 students to 2,750 students, a 6.8% increase.

Available at: http://ir.uiowa.edu/annals-of-iowa/vol66/iss3/3 Hosted by Iowa Research Online “Will They Fight? Ask the Enemy”: Iowa’s African American Regiment in the Civil War DAVID BRODNAX SR. SOME FIFTY YEARS AGO Dudley Cornish’s groundbreak- ing book, The Sable Arm, called attention to the extent and im- portance of the African American military presence in the Civil War.1 But with the exception of the famous 54th Massachusetts Infantry, whose service was later dramatized in the film Glory, the nation’s individual African American regiments have not, as a rule, attracted much serious historical research. Iowa’s African American regiment, the First Iowa Volunteers (African Descent), later redesignated the 60th United States Colored In- fantry, has suffered from that general neglect. The first historian to take note of the regiment was Hubert Wubben, who recorded the existence of the “First Iowa African Infantry,” as he termed it, but little more. He wrote only that it was organized in 1863 and that it “saw no combat, but per- formed guard and garrison duty in St. Louis and in other parts of the lower Mississippi Valley.” This brief summation hardly did justice to the regiment’s experience, but at least Wubben provided a reference citing official records where materials for 1.

  • Gettysburg (1863)
    History 211 US Military History Discussion Transcript for March 4, 2021 Main Reading: Video tour of GettysBurg and Forte map This week was supposed to be our field trip to Gettysburg. We couldn’t go together in person, but students watched a video tour of the battlefield led by Prof. Pinsker and reviewed a map of the battle created by Tom Forte (Class of 2020). The following selections come from student comments: OVERVIEW STUDENT COMMENT: The battle of Gettysburg and the subsequent Union victory was a major turning point in the American Civil War. The battle of Gettysburg lasted only 3 days, but was “the 4th deadliest engagement in American military history.” (Forte) During the first stages of the battle the assaulting Confederate forces were largely successful and pushed the Union forces back to a position on Cemetery Ridge. General Lee and the Confederate forces pushed into Pennsylvania in hopes of achieving a victory on Northern soil that would demoralize the North and strengthen their position in potential peace negotiations. General Lee and the Confederate forces went on the offensive, he believed the Union forces and the fragile northern political alliances could be shattered if the Confederates could defeat the Union forces and push them back from the field of battle. General Lee had a similar outlook at the battle of Gettysburg as Lincoln had on the Civil War, he wished to meet the Union forces and defeat them rather than pull back and hold strategic position. On the final day of the battle of Gettysburg General Lee ordered Confederate forces to embark on a full frontal assault on fortified Union positions.
