Iowa honored its soldiers who fought on this and other fields and declared that they had made it a high privilege to be a citizen of Iowa. This monument marks the position carried by the 6th Iowa in the assault of Corse's Brigade on the morning of Nov. 25, 1863. Repeated charges were later made on the enemy's line north of the tunnel, where the 5th, 10th, and 17th Iowa were hotly engaged and suffered heavy losses on the immediate right.
