Hello; The record shows that my GG Uncle Pvt. Riley Aler, 20th IL Inf, Co E (after muster), went by train to Camp Pope, just outside of Alton, IL on June 18, 1861. Is there any information on Camp Pope? I'm trying to establish at what location he received his training (such as it was in those days). Craig Ayler Aurora, CO Craig.Ayler@worldnet.att.net
