This is the forgotten story of the Second Iowa Infantry and one of the most stirring chapters in the annals of Iowa and the Civil War. The regiment was the first enlisted in the state for three years' service, and the 989 men mustered into its ranks were the first Iowa troops to take the field in June, 1861. Fully 2,000 Iowans fought and died in the service of this gallant regiment before the end of the war. Nearly half of them succumbed to exposure and disease or fell in a score of bitter battles. Few regiments of the Civil War volunteers had a more notable battle record. The men of the Second Iowa led Grant's victorious charge on Fort Donelson in February, 1862, to give the North its first good news of the war. They fought stubbornly in the "Hornet's Nest" at the bloody battle of Shiloh, and suffered nearly one-third of their 346 officers and men killed or wounded in helping to repulse the Confederate attack at Corinth, Mississippi, in October. The survivors of the Second Iowa returned to their homes and families in July, 1865, having endured their full share of misery and horror of the war. The brief but valuable recollections of Lt. John T. Bell provide one of the few remaining original sources of a fighting regiment of Civil War volunteers. Lieutenant Colonel John Bell rose from the ranks at the age of 19 to become company commander after joining the Second Iowa Infantry in December, 1861.

Gopi Krishna, born and reared in a rural area of Kashmir, achieved Cosmic Consciousness at the age of 34. This is such a rare achievement that it is unlikely that there have been more than five or six similar achievements over the past several hundred years. His more than 17 books, and many discourses, are considered the bible on the subject of Super-Consciousness and brain evolution. This book makes it absolutely clear as to what is Enlightenment, or Illumination, or Super-Consciousness, which is crucial for any aspirant who wishes to attain Higher Consciousness. Unless one knows the target of his or her spiritual practices, how can he hope to achieve that target. It is the same with any exercise or attainment. One must know in advance what it is that he is striving for. This book describes the goal. No other book does this as clearly and definitively as "The Real Nature of Mystical Experience."
