In recognition of the 150th anniversary of the Civil War, I hope to chronicle the daily life of my great-great grandfather, William Fleming. He served with the 130th Illinois Infantry. I also have a great-great grandfather, William Henry Ellis, who served with the North Carolina Cavalry. Unfortunately, I do not have much information about his service, but perhaps I'll mix in some of his story in when time allows.
The favorable weather continued. Today was another warm clear day. The soldiers are enjoying the weather so much, they are afraid there will be a northerner any day again, and they dread it more than another battle.
