Founded in Davenport in August 1861, Camp McClellan was important during the American Civil War, serving as a training area for new recruits, a hospital for injured soldiers, and eventually a prison camp. The renowned Iowa 8th Infantry Regiment began their service here, participating in notable battles including Shiloh, Corinth, and the siege of Vicksburg.
