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 men were up at 5 o'clock and began to march at 7 o'clock. They made it to Iberia about 11 o'clock, but then continued on until about 2 o'clock, when the stopped and set up camp on Clear Lake.
