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.
Again this morning the men were on the road at 7 o'clock. They passed Vermillionville and marched north to the battleground at Carencro Paradise and camped for night. It was a good days march and the men endured it very well.
