| Summary | "A History of the Ninth Regiment, Illinois Volunteer Infantry" by Marion Morrison is a historical account written in the mid-19th century. This work chronicles the military career and battles of the 9th Illinois Volunteer Infantry during the American Civil War, providing a detailed look at its formation, significant engagements, and the personal experiences of its soldiers. The narrative aims to honor the accomplishments of the regiment, which, despite its vital contributions, received little recognition in contemporary reports. The opening of the book sets the stage by discussing the context of the American Civil War, particularly highlighting the political tensions leading up to the conflict. Morrison describes the regiment's establishment and its initial mobilization, articulating the challenges and hardships faced by the troops, such as inadequate supplies and harsh conditions during training. He emphasizes the importance of camaraderie and individual stories from the soldiers, illustrating their experiences both on the battlefield and during campaigns. The narrative unfolds through a blend of factual recounting and anecdotal reflections, painting a vivid picture of soldier life during this tumultuous period.
