The Iowa Monument was dedicated on November 23, 1906 led by Iowa Governor Albert B. Cummins. The inscription on the front of the monument reads "This monument is erected by the state of Iowa in commemoration of the loyalty, patriotism and bravery of her sons who, on this battlefield of Shiloh on the 6th and 7th days of April, A.D., 1862, fought to perpetuate the sacred union of the States."
