- Just received some pages from the History of Mahaska County. On
page 401 is a list of men who served in the Civil War.
Unfortunately, I do not have the page that states which group they
served in. If you have a copy of that boo, would please check pages
399 - 400 that should match p.401. I would like the information.
Also, does any one know of any print copies of the Mahaska county
census for 1856 or 1860? Thanks, Jan
