Alexander and Jeremiah: : Two Privates in the Civil War

By Christine E. Maitland

This is the story of two privates in the Civil War, one in the infantry the other in the cavalry. They were two young farm boys from Illinois, suddenly thrust into the tumult of war. Alexander Weaver and Jeremiah Lushbough fought in the Western theater under General Ulysses S. Grant, and participated in the siege of Vicksburg, Mississippi. Much has been written about the campaigns and generals, but what was life like for the privates? Using regimental histories and service records, the book traces each soldier
