The 27th Iowa Infantry was organized under the proclamation of President Lincoln dated July 2, 1862 at Dubuque, Iowa and mustered in for three years of Federal service on October 3, 1862. The Regiment was in the Army's newly formed Department of the Northwest commanded Major General John Pope at Fort Snelling. The regiment was first ordered to Mille Lacs, Minnesota to oversee distribution of payments and annuities to the Indians. Following this action they spent most of the war fighting in the west except for the time it was ordered to Virginia where it participated in Gettysburg. The 27th continued service in Louisiana and Mississippi and ended the war with the Siege of Mobile. Battle casualties in the regiment were relatively light, but the 27th lost 20% of their men to disease.
