Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Three Years in the Service: A Record of the Doings of the 11th Reg, Missouri Vols
Being anxious to serve my country, I walked to Springfield, Illinois, a dis tance of twenty-five miles. I arrived there early in the evening, and took up lodging with a German that night, which was on the 14th day of July, 1861. There were several recruiting officers enlisting men for cavalry or infantry. Andrew J. Weber was enlisting a. Company for an infantry regiment, which I joined. There were then about thirty members. After remaining here, for a few days, boarding at the Owen House, we got on board the cars, which were in waiting, to carry us to our destination.
