Shiloh to Durham Station, 18th Wisconsin Infantry Regiment: With Captain Robert S. McMichael's Civil War Letters begins in the early winter of 1861 in Bad Ax County, Wisconsin, and it ends in 1865 with the Grand March in Washington, D. C. after the surrender of Confederate General Joseph E. Johnston at Durham Station, North Carolina. It is an historical account of the Civil War in the West, and a true personal reflection of the war as told by Robert S. McMichael. He was a young husband and father who never missed an opportunity to write home to his wife, Orla. Robert enlisted in the 18th Wisconsin Infantry Regiment on January 25, 1861. The regiment mustered into the United States service on March 15, 1862, and departed Camp Trowbridge at Milwaukee for Pittsburg Landing, Tennessee on March 30, 1862. Robert served in The Army of the Mississippi, re-enlisted in 1864, rose to captain of his Company C, participated in General William T. Sherman's march through Georgia and the Carolinas. He capped off his service at the Grand March in Washington, D. C., and was mustered out of service on July 18, 1865.
