23rd Illinois. Jim Creed tells me that the 23rd was a bunch of Chicago Irish gathered together by Jas. A.

Perhaps we will be seeing a contemporary regimental history written by Jim Creed? Good luck, Jim.

39th Illinois, aka as "the Yates Phalanx"....fact...."This distinguished regiment is included as one of William F. Fox's (circa 1889) top 300 Union Fighting Regiments."

39th Illinois, Yates Phalanx: "The History of the Thirty Ninth Regiment Illinois Volunteer Veteran Infantry in the War of the Rebellion, 1861-1865," by Charles M. Clark, MD. Originally published in 1889, at Chicago, Illinois, under the auspices of the Veterans Association of the Regiment, a rare copy, if located could cost around $ 150.00. A recent reprint, that was edited by Frederick Charles Decker, 419 pages, map, cost of $ 52.00. News Flash! Fred Decker has just informed us that he is selling the last inventory of his book for only $ 35.00. The Thirty-ninth Illinois, in an unusual move, created its name in honor of the Governor of the state. This unit was formed shortly after the first deadly shots of the war took place, April, 1861. Joining (and surviving) at the beginning of hostilities, this illustrious group of patriotic men will give blood throughout the entire war. Having the distinction as the lead forces that finally confronted and stopped Lee's Army at Appomattox, it wasn't mustered out until December 6, 1865. The author, Charles Clark was the surgeon for the 39th, saw it all and determined to put it on paper. Besides his eyewitness accounts of the 39th, he uses diaries and letters to supplement his thorough knowledge of the events taking place. There is so much more here to read, including Decker's gggfather's imprisonment at the decadent Andersonville prison camp and escape to freedom, a word we folks today tend to take lightly. With biographies of over 1,500 men who served in the 39th, this is a regimental history that I strongly recommend you purchase. It's worth 35 bucks. Give Mr. Decker an e-mail." (Reviewed by Ronald A.

72nd Illinois, "War Diary [1862-1865] of Joseph Stockton of the Seventy-Second Illinois Volunteer Regiment (Board of Trade Regiment)," by Brevet Brigadier General Joseph Stockton, First Lieutenant, Captain, Major and Lieutenant-Colonel of the 72nd Illinois Regiment. Originally printed for distribution by John T. Stockton (son of the late General Stockton), October, 1910, Rookery Building, Chicago, Illinois. 42 pages, softcover, with no bibliography, or index, includes photos of Stockton and the 72nd Illinois Reunion. The book also includes a fascinating post Civil War biography of Stockton who became a prominent Chicago citizen. "As indicated, this book is dedicated by Dick Peterson to the Memory of his great grandfather, William Metzger, who fought with the 72nd Illinois and nearly gave his life to help preserve our precious union. This is a neat little book that contains significant copies of events as recorded first-hand by Joseph Stockton. Although narration is desired, for the price, this soft-bound book should prove to excite those with a weekend to dedicate to reading of this unit or perhaps longer-term for a descendant of this illustrious group of valiant men.

Published in 1866 by the Tribune Company's Book and Job Printing Office, Chicago, 1866. 139 pages. "Kinnear's book is very concise, and seemingly written by one who did not wish to glorify the abundant horrors of battles such as Lookout Mountain, Kennesaw Mountain,etc. and all the other bloodlettings of the Atlanta Campaign. Note that, unlike so many other regimental histories, this one was written immediately after the War. Columbia Univ. has a copy." Thanks to Thomas B.

95th Illinois, "A History of the Ninety-Fifth Regiment Illinois Infantry Volunteers," by Wales W. Wood. "This is a nicely bound reprint of the original regimental history which the regimental adjutant published in 1865. Frank Crawford's introduction, the addition of an index and the inclusion of 44 C.D.V.'s have really enhanced this early regimental. The 95th Illinois, according to Mr. Crawford, was an average Federal regiment which served in the western theater in the Vicksburg, the Red River, and the Nashville and Mobile campaigns. The regiment lost 84 officers and men to combat related deaths and 205 personnel to disease and other causes, which by Civil War standards was not indicative of superior service in the field. Adjutant Wales W. Wood did not write vivid battle accounts. Perhaps, he wrote the book close to the war's end to churn up some traumatic events in vivid detail. It often took years for the veterans to sift through the haze of combat to decipher what really did happen to them... This frank regimental is filled with tales of the danger of gunboat duty, with the enjoyment of a meaty rattlesnake for dinner or of being forced to listen to the enept fife and drum corps of the 44th Missouri. This is an honest portrayal of a regiment that served its country as dependably as any other which accrued far greater casualties. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to add a very interesting book to their Civil War Library." (Reviewed by John M. Priest for the Courier, a Civil War Monthly publication).

117^th Illinois, "One Hundred Seventh Illinois Volunteers, 1862-1865," by Edwin G. Gerling. Published by Edwin G. Gerling, 2418 Lake Shore Drive, Highland, IL 62249. 222 pages, roster, costs around $ 30.00. The 117th Illinois Infantry Regiment was known as the McKendree Regiment because the nucleus of the unit were faculty and students from McKendree College in Lebanon, Illinois. Following its organization in September 1862, the regiment was stationed at Fort Pickering in Memphis, TN. It arrived there on November 17, 1862, and remained on garrison duty for 14 months. Between Feb. 3, 1864 and April, 1865, the 117th Illinois was engaged in five campaigns--Meridian Campaign, Red River Expedition, Tupelo Campaign, battle of Nashville, and the capture of Memphis, TN. As part of the 16th US Corps, it also participated in 33 skirmishes. There appears to be a slight discrepancy concerning the record of the McKendree Regiment since the dust jacket of the book states the regiments was involved in 6 campaigns and 36 skirmishes. (partial review by Michael Russert for the Civil War News).

8^th Illinois Cavalry, "The Captain: William Cross Hazelton, of the Eighth Illinois Cavalry," by Winfield Scott Hall. This book is the story of William C. Hazleton of the 8th Illinois Cavalry, an outfit that served in most of the major campaigns of the Army of the Potomac. The heart of the book is based on about 100 letters Hazelton wrote to various women in his life. The question is: do these letters add to our understanding of the war? The answer: yes, but not much. There are some hints given as to Hazelton's motivation for enlisting. There is also some interesting anecdotal information about life in the cavalry and ambulance corps. Readers looking for exciting battle comments, however, (with the exception of 2 Peninsula Campaign letters) will be largely disappointed. This small book is arranged into thematic chapters: life in the cavalry, camp life, etc., which makes for somewhat chopopy reading. The manuscript was clearly a labor of love, and the Reverend Hall does the best he can with the limited material at hand. In the end, however, what would have made a good article, translates into a mediocre book." (reviewed by Larry J. Daniel, Civil War author, for the Civil War News).

8^th Illinois Cavalry, "A History of the Eighth Illinois Cavalry Regiment Illinois Volunteers, During the War of the Rebellion," by Abner Hard, MD. Originally published in 1868, the 8th Illinois Cavalry served with the Army of the Potomac in the Peninsula Campaign, during the Seven Days Battles, at Brandy Station, and was present for much of the more important action in Virginia. The 8th Illinois is credited for firing the opening shot at Gettysburg. Hard was the Regimental Surgeon for this unit best know for serving under Buford and defending the Chambersburg Pike on the 1st day at Gettysburg. The 1984 reprint edition by Morningside Bookshop, Dayton, Ohio, with 368 pages, roster, and photos, cost $ 40.00.

9^th Illinois Cavalry, "History of the Ninth Regiment Illinois Cavalry Volunteers," by Edward A. Davenport. Originally published in 1888 by Donohue & Henneberry, Chicago, this book should be difficult to locate. Thanks to Jim Wheaton, for providing this information on this long lost book to me. Reprint of 450 pages with portraits, costs $ 49.00.

9^th Illinois Cavalry, "Surgeon on Horseback," complied by James W. Wheaton, a direct descendant of Dr. Brackett, with annotations and introductions by Ed Gleeson. Published in 1999 by Guild Press of Indiana, Inc. 435 Gradle Drive, Carmel, Indiana. It is a compilation of the Missouri and Arkansas Journal and Letters of Dr. Charles Brackett of Rochester, Indiana, 1861-1863, of the First Indiana Cavalry and also of the Ninth Illinios Cavalry. "In 1861, Dr. Charles Brackett left the peace and security of his medical practice in northern Indiana to find service in one of the Cavalry regiments organizing at the beginning of the Civil War. First appointed an assistant surgeon in the First Indiana Cavalry, he traveled to Saint Louis, then into rural Missouri, where he served the medical needs of Northern soldiers struggling against Southern partisans and Confederate army units trying to wrest control of the state from the North in places like Ironton and Pilot Knob. Returning to Indiana, he was appointed assistant surgeon in a regiment commanded by his brother, Colonel Albert Brackett -- the Ninth Illinois Cavalry. Eventually, four Brackett brothers would serve in the same unit. Charles Brackett's extensive, intellgently written letters and his medical journal detailing prescriptions, exact treatments, and specifics of setting up field hospitals, throw light on Civil War medicine and guerrilla hostilities in the confused and choatic theatre of war in Missouri and Arkansas." 246 pages, hardback, with index, pictures, etc. "After reviewing this very nice bound book, it is obvious from the beginning that this tome is a labor of love of Mr. Wheaton's as it is his desire to pass the experiences of his Civil War ancestor on to the next generation and "to the ages." I commend Jim for his devotion. Unfortunately many diaries and letter are lost forever. Many others have not interest in "where they came from. I recommend this book to any wishing to experience first hand accounts of a specific person's experiences during this tragic period of our history. [Reviewed by Ronald A.
