"I wish I was in the Cav[alry]. This plodding along afoot is dry business, compared with horse-back traveling."Regimental histories provide some of the most exciting and interesting details about life during the American Civil War.This one is compiled by members of the 103rd Illinois from letters and diaries of the men who served in that regiment. Sometimes the smallest details are the most important to the simple soldier."Gen. Logan stopped by me and said: 'It's all right, damn it, isn't it?' I returned: 'It's all right, General.'"The 103rd was attached to Grant's army in the west and supported Grierson's raid. They were then shifted to Sherman's army and were with him to the end of the war, including Atlanta and in the Carolina's campaign. In 1864, one soldier wrote in his diary:"This is the 68th day of the campaign. We hope to end it by Aug. 1st, though if we can end the war by continuing this till Jan. 1st, '65, I am in."Every memoir of the American Civil War provides us with another view of the catastrophe that changed the country forever.
