About This Book

A first-person regimental memoir recounts enlistment, training, camp life, and combat service of an Indiana three-years volunteer unit during the Civil War. The narrative records officers, company rosters, movements, and many camp locations, and it chronicles marches and engagements in the western theater. Emphasis falls on daily routines, drills, food, sickness, casualties, and the material hardships of soldiering, while preserved pocket memoranda and lists provide chronological organization and practical detail about organization, stations, and the regiment’s experiences in campaign and garrison duty.
