The Civil War: the county's frame

1861–1865 · THE COUNTY RECORD

The county's Civil War is written whole in its two histories, and this township's men marched inside county companies. Chapman's seventh chapter carries the county's war course and its Roll of Honor (p. 411); the county's regiments across the two histories are the 9th, 15th, 29th, 48th, 73rd, 87th, 128th, 138th and 155th Indiana Infantry, the 12th Cavalry, and the 21st Battery. Howard carries the 48th's Cos. B, E and F as county-raised under Colonel Eddy, with the regiment's course through Iuka and Vicksburg and its 213 battle loss, and the 73rd's Co. C as county-raised. That is the frame. The township's proven draws, in the next article, are narrower than the frame — and the difference between the frame and the proven draws is itself part of this section's record: no township man is tied in the reached record to the 9th, 15th, 48th, 73rd, 87th or 128th, and none is printed here as if he were.

Chapman, History of St. Joseph County (1880), ch. VII and Roll of Honor, p. 411; Howard, History of St. Joseph County (1907), regimental passages — both read whole in this build.
