Written by a veteran for his comrades and their descendants, this is the record of one Illinois infantry regiment from enlistment to muster-out. It follows the men through camp, march and battle in the western theatre and on with Sherman’s army through Georgia and the Carolinas, to the day at Raleigh when news of Lincoln’s assassination nearly set the army against the city.
