Text on the Second Tablet:

The line advanced in the face of severe fire gradually swinging toward the northwest. The left pierced the Union center and opened an enfilading fire upon troops and batteries stationed near the Poe house. This Union force withdrew to the north line of the Poe field behind a strong line of guns. The approach in the Dyer field of the head of Brannan's Union Division moving from the north caused the withdrawal of Bate's left regiments, while the right, advancing through the Poe field was repulsed at 5 p.m. by the twenty guns and supporting infantry assembled there. The Brigade captured four pieces of artillery. The loss of the Brigade was 48.7 per cent, and every field officer but three was wounded.

Iowa, Page County, Shenandoah

The fertile land of the Nishnabotna Valley was created when prehistoric glaciers deposited a base for the rich, thick soil which built up through the centuries and made Iowa famous for its corn and soybeans.

Settlers from the great Mormon migration recognized the potential of the fertile Nishna Valley and established the village of Manti in the area in 1852.

Agriculture became a significant part of southwest Iowa living. Seed and nursery businesses flourished. Radio stations KMA and KFNF broadcast farm-related information to thousands of rural farm families starting in the 1920's. Jessie Field Shanbaugh, sister of Henry Field, founded the 4-H Clubs of America to teach young people about agriculture.

Shenandoah played a vital role in the early development of hybrid seed corn. During the mid 1930's, J. R. McNeilly, an early hybridizer, sold hybrid seed corn through the nurseries of Earl May and Henry Field. Under the auspices of the United Nations, John Nicholson brought agronomists to Shenandoah from all over Europe to study hybrid seed corn production at his company, United Hybrid Corn Growers. When the DeKalb plant opened in 1941, southwest Iowa became a leading producer of hybrid corn.

Southwest Iowa agriculture has continued to evolve with increased attention given to environmental conservation. Contemporary practice reduces soil erosion by terracing and various tillage methods, and controls pests with methods that decrease the use of pesticides. Agriculture also focuses on safely turning animal waste products into resources. These solutions are helping agriculture survive in southwest Iowa.

“generosity, compassion and sacrifice.”
Tatanke Iyotake
Sitting Bull
HUNKPAPA LAKOTA, 1831-1890

Tatanke Iyotake lived the spiritual ways of his ancestors. He believed in the law of the Cannupa (Pipe) and the sacred existence with nature. Tatanke Iyotake proved he was a protector and caregiver to the people through his generosity, compassion and self sacrifice.

In early June 1876 the Lakota held their annual Sundance along Rosebud Creek below Deer Medicine Rocks. Tatanke Iyotake offered 50 pieces of flesh from each arm. On the second day of the Sundance he received a vision. He saw soldiers falling into camp upside down, and a voice told him: “I give you these because they have no ears.” Sitting Bull was also instructed to warn people. “These dead soldiers who are coming are the gifts of the creator. Kill them, but do not take their guns or horses. Do not touch the spoils. If you set your hearts upon the goods of the white man, it will prove a curse to this nation.”

Tatanke Iyotake did not partake in the battle because he listens to the wisdom and advice of his mother. She told him he did not have to fight, that it was time to let the younger men prove their ability to protect the village. She advised him to take care of the noncombatants. After the battle, he went to a ridge, filled his Cannupa (Pipe) and prayed for the fallen warriors. He also prayed for Custer and his men.- Family of Tatanke Iyotake
“truth, justice and wisdom.”Ta Sunke Witko       Crazy Horse   1840-1877
“In order to heal our grandmother earth we must unify through peace.”

In memory of the Lakota Bands of the Great Sioux Nation: Cuthead, Two Kettle, Blackfoot, Minnikojou, Hunkpapa, No Bows, and Flathead. Also the Dakota (Mdewakanton, Wahpetowan, Sissetowan) and Nakota Bands (Ihanktowan – Yankton, Ihanktonwanna – Yanktonai) of the Great Sioux Nation, and Cheyenne and Arapaho Nations who fought here with us against the U.S. 7th Cavalty. The battle was fought because the United States wanted the Black Hills and its natural resources.

Ta Sunke Witko fought in this battle to preserve a way of life for the Lakota Oyate. Our grandfathers protected our Sacred Pipe because it was given to us by the Creator believing that all mankind was given the power of Truth, Justice, and Wisdom. All the warriors at this battle who were killed believed this way. Our grandfathers say that the Cheyenne and Arapaho came because they had family ties with the Lakota Nation.

Our grandfather Ta Sunke Witko was a man who prayed with the Sacred Pipe, played with the children and listened to the elders. He saw that all living things were higher than him because he knew that mankind had the power of choice to do right or wrong, good or bad. Our grandfathers told us that all mankind were created equal, and they represent the earth man with no skin color. In order to heal our grandmother earth we must unify through peace.Pilmaye Le Uni Prya           Ta Sunke Witko Tiwahe

Dr. L.J. Leech opened a medical practice in West Branch in 1882 and practiced here for the next 55 years. For many years he lived in the house one door to the north. In 1920 he moved to this home and lived here until his death in 1937. At his funeral, a message from former President Hoover praised Dr. Leech’s long and useful life and his loyalty to his neighbors.

This home has been preserved because it is in harmony with and contributes to the historic scene.

On this site the eighteenth and last Shaker community in America was founded in 1836 by members of the Sodus Bay Shaker community. The Shakers, formerly known as the United States Society of Believers in Christ's Second Appearing, were a religious communal group that came from England in 1774. The first settlement was in Watervliet near Albany, N.Y. Known for their industry and diligence, the Shakers sold lumber, agricultural products and handicrafts. Their founder, Mother An Lee, incorporated simple dance movements and singing in the worship ritual. The practice of celibacy made them dependent on converts and the adoption of orphans for membership. A decline in membership and financial problems led to the closing of the Groveland community in 1892, and the remaining members moved to the Shaker comunity ar Watervliet, N.Y. The Shakers sold the Groveland property to the State of New York in 1894 for the purpose of establishing the Craig Colony for Epileptics which became a noted institution for the care of the handicapped.

It advanced at 11:10 a.m., from the first crest east of the LaFayette road.
It occupied this line under heavy skirmish fire. In its advance towards the Dyer field it suffered greatly from the fire of a heavy force of the enemy, strongly posted to its right behind barricades of rails and fallen timber. The reserve passed to the front and the Brigade dislodged this force, but with heavy loss.
Upon reaching the Dyer field the Brigade changed direction toward the right and assisted in capturing seventeen guns on the crest northwest of Dyer's. The Brigade next took part in the assault on Snodgrass Hill from the vicinity of Vittetoe's.
