| Summary | "The History of the Fifty-ninth Regiment Illinois Volunteers" by David Lathrop is a historical account written in the mid-19th century. The book chronicles the experiences of the Fifty-ninth Illinois Regiment, which served during the American Civil War, specifically detailing their campaigns through Missouri, Arkansas, Mississippi, Tennessee, and Kentucky. It aims to provide not only a narrative of battles and incidents but also a valuable historical perspective on soldiers' lives, struggles, and the unfolding conflict. At the start of the book, Lathrop introduces key figures involved in the formation of the regiment, including Colonel C. H. Frederick and Major David McGibbon. The narrative explains their commitment to raising a loyal regiment amidst the backdrop of the Civil War, detailing initial troop organization, recruitment challenges, and early marches. The regiment faces numerous adversities, including lack of supplies and challenging living conditions, while maintaining a strong determination to serve the Union. The opening portion sets the stage for the more extensive experiences and battles that the regiment will encounter as the war progresses. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
