Description

In 1896, the Second Regiment of the Iowa National Guard, which was based in Ottumwa, Iowa, held its annual encampment in its home town. One of the town's newspapers, the Ottumwa Daily Democrat, produced a souvenir booklet for the national guardsmen -- including information about the guard regiment and the town which appears in no other local publication. This reprint edition is produced from a rare surviving original, with supplemental text.
