Record of
Piatt County Soldiers.
– The
following history of Regiments and
record of soldiers have been prepared by
carefully leafing through eight large
volumes of the adjutant-general’s report of
Illinois soldiers. No pains have been
spared to make the report as complete as
possible, yet there may be some mistakes;
for example, throughout the reports two
different Monticellos were given; in some
cases men reported themselves from places
the names of which have since been changed,
and in several instances we found the same
person’s name spelled in two and even three
different ways. With one exception,
only histories of regiments are given the
original of which appears in the adjutant’s
reports, and histories are given only of
those regiments having the greatest number
of Piatt county soldiers:
