Would like to find a photo of William Brooks. With the 1st Iowa Infantry he fought at the Battle of Wilson's Creek.
He also served with the 19th Iowa as 2nd Lt. Brooks at the Battle of Prairie Grove where he was wounded while retrieving the Colors from the battlefield. He then went on as Col. Brooks with the 56th USCT where he was killed at the Battle at Wallace's Ferry otherwise know as Big Creek in Arkansas.

Ed enlisted at Mt. Pleasant, IA on April 04, 1861 into the Mt. Pleasant Grays. He was mustered into Company F, First Iowa Volunteer Infantry Regiment on May 14, 1861 in Keokuk, IA.

The First was Iowa''s contribution to President Lincoln''s call for 75,000 volunteers to serve three months. The First Iowa served past their mustering out date to take part in the Battle at Wilson''s Creek (Oak Hills).
