Specificatii
Intended for Civil War buffs as well as genealogists, this text
provides a detailed history of the Illinois Thirty-Ninth Union
Regiment, which named itself Yates Phalanx after the governor of
the state. Formed in April 1861, the Thirty-Ninth Illinois
Volunteer Veteran Infantry fought in Civil War campaigns from the
winter of 1861 to its muster-out on December 6, 1865; indeed, the
Thirty-Ninth was the lead regiment that held (and then turned)
Lee's forces at Appomattox Court-House. The book contains an
eyewitness account written by a regimental surgeon, who
supplemented his text with soldiers' statements and excerpts from
their diaries and letters. Biographies of over 1,500 soldiers have
also been included, which relate enlistment and discharge
information, service history, and in many cases personal items such
as birth and marriage details. Period drawings and photographs
enhance the text, and appendices include listings of Union and
Confederate forces, a roster and company histories for the
Thirty-Ninth, and a letter written by the author's
great-great-grandfather, a member of the Thirty-Ninth, which
describes his imprisonment at and eventual escape from
Andersonville Prison in Georgia. Through soldiers' letters and
reminiscences, the reader is exposed to life during the Civil War.
This work contains much more than the regiment's battlefield
exploits; there are also the men's ties to communities left behind,
their experiences in the camps, their routines and their
distractions. Accounts offer uncensored views of social issues,
soldiers' opinions, and thoughts on deserters and heroes alike. In
short... You Are There
