If you are compiling your family genealogy and an ancestor served in the civil war, regimental histories can be useful for providing background on the life of your ancestor. You can experience the same excitement and boredom as your ancestor without being shot at. The histories often may contain a list of the men who served with you ancestor. Often the histories will contain a description of the battles and the day to day events as they march and camped.

The NINETY-SECOND REGIMENT ILLINOIS INFANTRY VOLUNTEERS was organized by Major Smith D. Atkins, Eleventh Illinois Infantry Volunteers. It was composed of five companies from Ogle, three from Stephenson, and two from Carroll counties; was mustered into the United States service September 4, 1862, Major Atkins having been unanimously elected Colonel, at Rockford, Ill., where it remained in comfortable barracks drilling until October 10, 1862, when it was ordered to Cincinnati, and participated in the movements that protected that city, and drove the rebel General Morgan out of Kentucky.
