FROM VICKSBURG TO CEDAR CREEK: THE 22ND IOWA VOUNTEER INFANTRY IN THE CIVIL WAR, by Thomas P. McKenna. This is the first comprehensive history of the 22nd Iowa Volunteer Infantry to be published in over 100 years. The regiment was formed in Iowa City, Iowa in August 1862, and served for three years. It was one of the few Civil War regiments which served in both the Western Theater, where it fought under General Grant in the Vicksburg Campaign, and in the Eastern Theater, where it fought under General Sheridan in the Shenandoah Valley. In addition to the Official Records of the Union and Confederate Armies, and many post-war memoirs, extensive research for this book was done over several decades in archives, historical societies, and libraries in Iowa, Pennsylvania, and Washington, D.C. Documents from those repositories were supplemented by visits to Vicksburg National Military Park and the Shenandoah Valley battlefields, including multiple visits to Cedar Creek. Many letters from individual soldiers on both sides and excerpts from two unpublished diaries tell how soldiers on both sides experienced the war.
Thomas P. McKenna is a former department commander of Sons of Union Veterans and a long-time member of a Civil War roundtable. He has an M.A. in history and is the author of the William E. Colby Award-winning Kontum: The Battle to Save South Vietnam, published by the University Press of Kentucky. He has also published many magazine articles on military history and biography. He is a retired U.S. Army officer who received the Combat Infantry Badge, Purple Heart, and several decorations for valor while serving in Vietnam. He is also the great-grandson of a soldier in the 22nd Iowa Volunteer Infantry.

For the first time, Camp Pope Publishing is offering this new title in both paperback and cloth with dustjacket editions. 224 pages, illustrated, maps, notes, bibliography, index."
