A detailed, readable history of the 102d Illinois Infantry Volunteers, from its first days to its campaigns in the Atlanta Campaign, the Georgia Raid, and the Carolinas. This book offers a clear portrait of a Civil War regiment, its people, and the events that shaped their fight and their stories.
Based on firsthand recollections and period records, it traces how the regiment formed in 1862, drilled for duty, and moved from Knox County to the heart of the war. Readers will follow the long marches, camp life, and the tough choices soldiers faced as they moved from peach towns to battlefields and back home.
The narrative blends daily life with strategic movement, including the march through Georgia and the broader campaigns that defined the regiment’s service. It highlights the human side of war—the camaraderie, the challenges of logistics, and the resolve that kept soldiers moving forward.
Ideal for readers of Civil War military history, Illinois history buffs, and anyone interested in how a midwestern regiment endured the trials of war.
