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.
Today was another beautiful day. The men of the 48th Ohio regiment went to church service tonight. The preacher said the "meetings" had been going on for five weeks and nearly 500 had joined.
