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 130th began their march at 6 o'clock this morning. It was a fine, cool day. They march until noon and camped just short of Olivia Landing. They stopped her for the night. Tomorrow they will start at 7 o'clock and march to Camp Pratt.
