	The site selected was at the upper end of the bottom land adjoining [[LAKE PEOSTA]] on an elevation of thirty to forty feet. The grounds were perhaps named Camp Union as they were the site used by the [[UNION GUARDS]] for drill. In August, 1861 the camp was opened as a recruiting center for the Ninth and 12th Iowa Volunteer Infantry. There were ten barracks resembling sheds built entirely, including the roof, of rough green pine lumber. Each company was assigned a single building built without floors or doors. Two platforms, one above the other and each about twelve feet wide, extended the entire length of the building. ~~These~~ provided sleeping arrangements for fifty men, twenty-five on each side, heads together in the center.
