Description Scan of various documents related to John Morgan's career as a Civil War soldier. Details: [1] Letter (undated) from the War Department office of the Adjutant General, a statement of the military service of John Morgan, Sergeant, Company I, 123d Illinois Infantry; [2] Typescript with title: Civil War Battle Flag; [3] Account of the 123rd Regiment of Illinois in the spring of 1865; [4 - 6] Manuscript letter dated 28 January 1863 from Morgan to his parents; [7] loose page from a narrative (unpaged), beginning: "July of 1862, was raiding Kentucky, paving the way for an attack on the Free States to the North." and including Morgan's 1862 enlistment, and ending with the beginning of a quote from a letter to parents. Doesn't fit into the longer narrative below; [8-9] Typescript of the 28 Jan 1863 letter; [10-11]: Typescript letter of 28 January 1862 from Morgan to parents, but it's clearly the text of the 1863 letter, probably discarded due to mistaken date; [12-13]: Text of letter dated 21 Dec. 1863 from Morgan to his mother; [14] Letter dated 12 February 1863 from John Morgan to his father, Garrard Morgan; [15] Notes on Morgan's paternal ancestry; [16-33] Pages 10 - 27 from an incomplete narrative (probably written by Nicholas G. Morgan) about John Morgan's life, continued on next object: http://content.lib.utah.edu/cdm/ref/collection/uu-jhmp/id/1326
