A history of the 112th Regiment of Illinois Volunteer Infantry during the American Civil War.

Excerpt from History of the 112th Regiment of Illinois Volunteer Infantry, in the Great War of the Rebellion, 1862-1865 After the close of the war the government removed the re mains of all the deceased Union soldiers that could be found to National Cemeteries, where the graves were numbered and a record made of all that could be identified. Many could not be found, and many of those found could not be identified, but by the courtesy of the superintendents of these cemeteries, the author has ascertained the place of burial and number of grave of every member of the 112th Illinois of whom there is any record. Inquiry has been made as to every man; and if any are missing it is for the reason that no record can be found of their burial.
