Three Years in the Army of the Cumberland The Letters and Diary of Major James A Connolly, Edited by Paul M. Angle, Indiana Universiry Press1959, Hard Back, with Dust Jacket. {123rd Illinois Infantry}

“The letters and diary of Major James Austin Connolly, 123rd Illinois Infantry, constitute an unsurpassed record of Civil War campaigning in the West. Connolly had a flair for narrative, an eye for people and places, and a smooth and facile style. His accounts offer a realistic picture of day-to-day soldiering in the Civil War—of rough, spare living in the field, of boredom and fun in camp, of seemingly aimless scouts, and of the high excitement of battle.” From Google Books
