Gerling Self published Limited edition: first printing, October, 1992 222 page 8.75” X 11.25” illustrated hardcover with jacket _______________________________________________________________________ The story of the McKendree regiment is but the story of its people, ordinary people. It was so named because members of the faculty and student body of Mckendree College in Lebanon Illinois responded to lincoln’s call for additional troops. Enough men were enlisted to make up the future company C besides the regimental commanding officer and his staff. This provided the nucleus needed for what later became the 117th regiment. They all volunteered in good faith with the understanding that they would do whenever was necessary to help win the war. Starting on the day they left Lebanon, they seldom slept in a house or ate regular home cooked meals again for the next three years period.. Powered by eBay Turbo ListerThe free listing tool.
