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 regiment spent the night at the wharf aboard the Iberville. At 8 o'clock this morning they moved aboard the Alice Vivian with orders to report to the commanding offices at Carrolton. They arrived there at 4 o'clock, unloaded and went into camp. They had a nice brick building for their office and quarters.
