I am working on a history of the 5th Illinois cavalry and am looking for descendants of the men who served in that regiment. I would be most interested to hear any stories you may have concerning your ancestor's service, and most grateful if you would share any letters or diaries with me for this history. Please contact me at the posted email: 5illinois@gmail.com Thanks. Rhonda M. Kohl

Rhonda, My husband's great grand uncle, Seamon Butler III, served in the 5th IL Cav. Unfortunately, I don't know of any stories or diaries but he did survive the war - dying 30 Oct 1888 in Leanderville. Contact me privately and I will give you the phone number of one of his great-great granddaughters who lives in St. Louis.
