- Lot Description
William Milo Stone (1827-1893) was the sixth Governor of Iowa (1864–68). He was an enthusiastic supporter of Abraham Lincoln at the 1860 Republican convention, and was so again in 1864. After the attack on Fort Sumter in 1861, Stone enlisted as a private in the Union Army. He was quickly promoted to captain, and then major, of Company B, 3rd Iowa Volunteer Infantry Regiment. He fought and was wounded at the Battle of Liberty, but returned to fight at the Battle of Shiloh, where he was taken prisoner. Stone was paroled by Jefferson Davis and sent to Washington, D.C. to negotiate an exchange of prisoners; after initially failing to reach an agreement, he returned to Confederate captivity, was again paroled, and was released after an exchange agreement was reached. Stone was named the Republican nominee for governor in June 1863, and resigned from the Union Army in August. He was elected by a large margin in the general election, defeating Union general James M. Tuttle. Autograph Letter Signed “W.M. Stone†on official State of Iowa Executive Department letterhead, with original cover, 1pp, written to Major Joseph Andrews. Date lined, Des Moines, August 18, 1864. In part, “I highly approve and admire your desire to re-enter the service, though I really think you have done your share ... no prospect that a single company of volunteers will be raised under the late call ... few men that I would rather give a regiment to than yourself ...â€
