Iowa During the Civil War

My great-grandfather, John W. Dinsmore, was in Company E of the 22nd Iowa
Volunteer Infantry.  I have his discharge papers, a tintype of him in
uniform, and some poetry that members of his company wrote about the
battles they had participated in during the march to the sea with
Sherman.  I am happy to share or tell you about him.
