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 entire brigade went out on a scout today. They found a few confederate soldiers who gladly surrendered. They also found some cattle and sheep, and then returned to their camp on the evening of the 30th.
