Report Of The Adjutant General To The Governor Of Iowa

Excerpt from Report of William L. Alexander, Adjutant General and A. Q. M. G. Of the State of Iowa, to Hon. John H. Gear, Governor of Iowa: October 1st, 1879 I deem it of vital importance that annual encampments be held, as contemplated by the law. In no other way can such useful informa tion be imparted. The men being brought together, habituated to the duties of the camp and field, held under rigid discipline, the require ments of camp life being performed with the exaction of active ser vice, will derive more practical benefit in the allotted five days than, during a year of the ordinary instruction.
