I had two relatives in Company A, 4th Minnesota Volunteer Infantry Rgt. They were in Sherman's army, and there is a painting of the regiment entering Atlanta.

Their regimental history has a lot of information, and is available online. History of the Fourth regiment of Minnesota infantry volunteers during the great rebellion, 1861-1865 http://www.archive.org/details/cu31924030907350

Alonzo Brown didn't publish his history of the regiment until 1892, so there is quite a distance between the events and his recollection of them.

Sounds like Upson's journal would be more interesting.

Thanks for posting!

I saw it on a DVD from netflix. But that's interesting that you had relatives in the March. raccoon Dec 2011 #2

They did survive the war, although one of them was disabled at Vicksburg. Adsos Letter Dec 2011 #3
