This new sect was formed by members of diverse congregations throughout the new nation who had become dissatisfied with the rituals and sectarian concerns that they felt were distracting men and women from the true message of Christ. The principal belief of the Disciples as espoused by such leaders Dr. Abner Jones, Elias Smith and most notably Alexander Campbell, was in the absolute authority of the Scriptures in their most literal interpretation. Not surprisingly, their message spread rapidly with new churches springing up across the United States.

David Cornwell's salty, vivid descriptions of his wartime service are layered in among peacetime annotations about his life before and after the war.

Cornwell's service included intensely fought infantry action, assignments in the 2nd Illinois Light Artillery, recruitment, training and equipping slaves who were taken (under duress) from nearby Mississippi and Louisiana plantations. He served as ordinary infantryman, artilleryman, (both light and heavy), and commander of black occupation-garrison troopers.

Although Illinois was admitted to the Union as a free state (1818), it passed laws which made it risky for a runaway slave to be found within its borders. Advertisements were placed in Illinois newspapers by owners from Kentucky, Alabama, Tennessee, and Virginia in search of runaways, as well as by Illinois residents who had found runaways that they wanted claimed. While the slaves were black, the advertisers were predominently white, so both races are about equally represented in this volume. The notices usually give the name, age, and physical description of the runaways, and the name and addresses of the advertiser.

The introduction to the earlier returns presents the history of census taking in Illinois and gives tables and a map showing the population by counties in 1818 and 1820. This book contains not only the 1820 state census schedules but also notes comparing all discrepancies between the names as written in the 1818 territorial, the 1820 state, and the 1820 federal censuses. While in most instances, these represent merely minor variations in spelling, there are enough marked discrepancies to indicate that all three sets of returns are necessary to compile a correct list of the pioneers of each county. Symbols have been used in both volumes to indicate names appearing in the other two censuses. In making this comparison, families were not assumed to be identical unless they appeared as residing in approximately the same vicinities. Similarity of names alone was not considered sufficient unless they were quite distinctive or unless other evidence corroborated the hypothesis. Names appearing in the federal but not in the state census of 1820 are given in the notes. Census data is included for the following counties: Alexander, Bond, Clark, Crawford, Edwards, Franklin Gallatin, Jackson, Jefferson, Johnson, Madison, Monroe, Pope, Randolph, St. Clair, Union, Washington, Wayne, and White.

Late in June 1863, the 78th marched from Franklin Tennessee, to Murfreesboro to join General James Steedman's division of the Army of the Cumberland. As the tension mounted, Generals Rosecrans and Bragg played out a deadly game of tug-of-war near the banks of the Chickamauga, or \"River of Death.\" In September 1863, the 78th made a grueling 40-mile march from Bridgeport, Alabama, to Rossville, Georgia, to join the battle of Chickamauga. They lost 44% of their men,; Odell suffered a crippling foot injury. Exposed to the degradations of Southern slavery Odell shifted his political allegiance from the Democratic principles of his father to Abraham Lincoln's Republican Party. \"Since we came here I have had a better chance to ascertain the spirit and disposition of the African slave than every before, I find that they love liberty, and have as great hatred of oppression as the white man has...\" The letters are as amusing as they are informative.

Discrepancies between the state and the federal census of 1820 show the mobility of the settlers. \"This constant shifting about makes all population statistics very unreliable, but it adds interest to a study of the names themselves.\" The census specified the following form: Names of heads of families; Free white males, twenty-one years and upwards; All other white inhabitants; Free people of color; and Servants or slaves.

Formed in April 1861, the Thirty-Ninth Illinois Volunteer Veteran Infantry fought in Civil War campaigns from the winter of 1861 to its muster-out on December 6, 1865; indeed, the Thirty-Ninth was the lead regiment that held (and then turned) Lee's forces at Appomattox Court-House.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe book contains an eyewitness account written by a regimental surgeon, who supplemented his text with soldiers' statements and excerpts from their diaries and letters. Biographies of over 1,500 soldiers have also been included, which relate enlistment and discharge information, service history, and in many cases personal items such as birth and marriage details. Period drawings and photographs enhance the text, and appendices include listings of Union and Confederate forces, a roster and company histories for the Thirty-Ninth, and a letter written by the author's great-great-grandfather, a member of the Thirty-Ninth, which describes his imprisonment at and eventual escape from Andersonville Prison in Georgia. Through soldiers' letters and reminiscences, the reader is exposed to life during the Civil War.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis work contains much more than the regiment's battlefield exploits; there are also the men's ties to communities left behind, their experiences in the camps, their routines and their distractions. Accounts offer uncensored views of social issues, soldiers' opinions, and thoughts on deserters and heroes alike. In short... You Are There!\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCharles M.
