In less than ten years after the organization of Shelby County as a civil unit, the great Civil War broke fiercely upon the country. Shelby county had scarcely passed the log-cabin stage of development, when men were traveling to mill and market over the winding trails, along the ridges and plateaus, and skirting the heads of streams, then unbridged, and when the prairies and sloughs of the county were yet furnishing sustenance and refuse for wild animals. Under these circumstances it was that the young men of Shelby County were called upon to assume the stern responsibilities of their citizenship in common with the other people of Iowa. Shelby County went to the defense of the colors right loyally, sending, it is estimated, one man out of every six then resident within her newly created boundaries. These volunteers came from Cuppy’s Grove, Bowman’s Grove, Manteno, Hacktown, and Harlan. There are the names of these men constituting Shelby County’s Roll of Honor.
