[Front Side]
May this shaft register alike
sacrifice of our fallen brothers
and our purpose
to perpetuate their memory
by citizenship worthy
of the heritage they left us,
a re-united and glorious union.
[Left Side, Top]
In the final contest for Missionary
Ridge, four Iowa Regiments were engaged
on the Confederate right flank, six
others with battery on the Confederate
left and rear. The movement from
Rossville brought the latter past this
position, ending later in the assault
upon the ridge, and two days afterwards
in the battle of Ringgold, GA.
[Left Side, Bottom]
The state of Iowa is proud of your
achievements and renders you her
homage and gratitude and with exultant
heart claims you as her sons.
[Right Side, Bottom]
Iowa erects this monument in memory
of all her soldiers who took part
in the Battles of Lookout Mountain
Missionary Ridge and Ringgold.
