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 weather turned very cold and disagreeable. The men left in the camp couldn't do any work. However, the rumors in their camp were that they would soon be ordered to Brazas Santiago, Texas.
