About This Book

The narrative, compiled by the regiment's chaplain, traces the formation, roster, and wartime service of an Illinois volunteer infantry unit, combining official movements and battle accounts with personal anecdotes from officers and enlisted men. It details organization and reorganization, scouting, marches, escorts, and engagements, and opens with reflections on the political crisis that precipitated the conflict. Emphasis is placed on everyday soldier life through small incidents that illuminate morale and hardship, and on preserving factual detail for comrades and future historians by relying on regimental records and eyewitness testimony.
