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.
William Fleming's detail at headquarters came to an end today.
I was ordered to report to my Regiment at woods Tress on Canal St it being consolidated with the 77 Ill...we remained on duty in the City untill the 20th day of Feb
