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.

Unfortunately, I do not have much information about his service, but perhaps I'll mix in some of his story in when time allows.
