Iowa Civil War Site Discussion Group[ Home | Contents | Search | Post | Reply | Next | Previous | Up ] 4th Iowa CavalryFrom: [email protected] CommentsThe following information regarding Parkell was taken from The Story of A Cavalry Regiment: The Career of the Fourth Iowa Veteran Volunteers from Kansas to Georgia, 1861-1865 by William Forse Scott, Late Adjutant. This book is available in reprint through www.amazon.com for $40 + $3.95 shipping. Original publication date: 1893. I ordered it on a Saturday afternoon and received it on Tuesday afternoon. This book is about the operations of the Fourth Iowa during the Civil War and it has nine maps with considerable detail. I have enjoyed reading this book, and I believe you would also. Information on Major Parkell is contained on pages 79, 98 through 106, 123,127, 555, 556, and 558. Below is an example of some of this information. Page 7: (October 1861) The first officers of Company E were Captain Alonzo B. Parkell, First-Lieutenant Orson N. Perkins, Second-Lieutenant Edward W. Dee. Company E was formed at Grinnell, in Poweshiek County, though individuals and squads of its men joined from neighboring counties. It grew out of a company which gathered at Grinnell to join a regiment of "Mounted Rifles". There was an effort made to organize such a regiment at Iowa City; but authority from the War Department could not be obtained, and the undertaking failed.
