In the smoke and mud of the American Civil War 1862-1865, a single regiment keeps its own record. War made boys into veterans. R. L. Howard follows the 124th Illinois Infantry, the Illinois Volunteer Infantry known as the Hundred and Two Dozen, from enlistment in August 1862 through August 1865, capturing the texture of camp life, marching, discipline, sickness, comradeship, and loss with the plain authority of those who were there. More than a civil war regimental history, this is a grounded union army unit history shaped by union soldier experiences and the practical realities of service: where the regiment went, what it endured, and how it held together. For readers drawn to Illinois Civil War service and the 124th Illinois Infantry in particular, it offers a focused lens on the wider conflict. For family historians, it sits naturally beside civil war unit rosters as a valued aid to civil war genealogy research, especially for Illinois ancestry researchers tracing names, places, and timelines. Historically significant as a firsthand regimental chronicle, this historical reprint edition preserves the voice of a citizen army and the local memory of communities that sent men to war. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure. Presented as a complete unabridged edition, it belongs both on the desk of the curious casual reader and on the shelf of classic-history collectors who value enduring primary accounts.
