“Men from a single village may belong to numerous units. Often, a singular soldier or unit history has been passed down and kept alive within a community. Meet the majority of the soldiers who have been long forgotten and sometimes never known!"
*Lincoln's Soldiers Marched: From White Hall, Illinois* is Ball's third publication. Ball researched Civil War soldiers from specific villages, and then followed each of their unit histories from the date of enrollment
until their military service concludes.
Ball brings recognition to all villagers that marched to war in 1860. These hardcover books are perfect lifetime keepsakes and special gifts. Most importantly, they preserve local heritage and celebrate the courage of
those long ago villagers. Limited editions.
