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 good weather continued, and the soldiers "enjoyed" drill twice today. They also had time for swimming in the gulf. They are still expecting to go to Berwick Bay as soon as transportation is available.
