Description:Excerpt from Bernhard Kummel Library of the Geological Sciences To Governor William L. Harding and Members of the Geological Board: Gentlemen: I submit herewith a report entitled "A Description of the Region about Camp Dodge," and recommend that it be published as a special bulletin of the Iowa Geological Survey. In this report there will be found descriptions and interpretations of the topography and geology of the region in which thousands of the young men of our state and other states are receiving their military training for service beyond the seas. It is hoped that the information which is presented, together with the topographic map which accompanies the report, will enable the soldiers and other persons to understand more fully than they otherwise could have done the influence of the natural features of the region upon military training and maneuvering, and upon many of the other activities of the camp. The report should serve also to emphasize the well known fact that wherever military operations are being carried on and war is being waged there is an intimate relationship between the topography and geology of the region and the movements of the armies. The mountain, the hill, the cliff, the plain, the valley, the swamp, the soil, the underlying rock, each of these plays its part in connection with the activities of artillery, of cavalry, and of infantry, the digging of trenches, the furnishing of water supply, and in many other ways. The report was prepared by Dr. James H. Lees, Assistant State Geologist. Similar reports have been undertaken at various army camps throughout the United States at the suggestion of the Geology and Paleontology Committee of the National Research Council after conference with prominent military men.
