Book excerpt: When Chicago lawyer Thomas Osborn set out to form a Union regiment in the days following the attack on Fort Sumter, he could not have known it was the beginning of a 6000-mile journey that would end at Appomattox Courthouse four years later. With assistance from Governor Richard Yates, the 39th Illinois Infantry--"The Yates Phalanx"--enlisted young men from Chicago, its (modern-day) suburbs, and small towns of northern and central Illinois. While most Illinois regiments fought in the west, the 39th marched through the Shenandoah Valley to fight Stonewall Jackson, to Charleston Harbor for the Second Battle of Fort Sumter and to Richmond for the year-long siege at Petersburg. This book chronicles day-to-day life in the regiment, the myriad factors that determined its path, and the battles fought by the Chicagoans--including two Medal of Honor recipients--who fired some of the last shots before the Confederate surrender.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Echo of the Civil War; From Richmond to Appomattox: Some Account of the Evacuation of Richmond and Petersburg and the Surrender of General Robert E. Lee, by an Eye-Witness in the Advance Column Speculation was rife as to the coming campaign. Would General Grant, who less than a year before had been called to the supreme command of the Federal armies, throw his troops boldly against these impregnable posi tions, as he had done during the preceding year, when, in six weeks, more than fifty thousand men were killed and wounded? The thought of such another sacrifice without any greater success than had characterized that campaign made the boldest soldier involuntarily start. But war is slaughter and there was no word of opposi tion to any movement the commander-in - chief might direct. Almost the entire Army of the Potomac had been massed south of the James River, and every man knew that something portentous would soon happen.
