On this 4th of July I would line to honor my great great grandfather John Henry Conrad/Coonrod that served with Company G, 38th Illinois Volunteer Infantry He did an article for the newspaper in 1907 telling about his civil war experience. It's posted on IL USGEN WEB the URL is http://www.rootsweb.com/~ilcivilw/scrapbk/conradarticle.html He was taken prisoner and spent time at Pemberton, Danville and Andersonville. It's his story in his own words and I am proud to be a decedent of such a good man. Barbara Guinn
