The sixth in a series documenting Union army colonels, this biographical dictionary lists regimental commanders from Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota and Wisconsin. A brief sketch of each is included--many published here for the first time--giving a synopsis of Civil War service and biographical details, along with photos where available.
Avenues of Transformation tells the tale of Illinois's admission to the Union in 1818--the campaign for statehood, the passage by Congress of an act enabling statehood, and the state's first constitutional convention--through the leadership of three early leaders: Daniel Pope Cook, Nathaniel Pope, and Elias Kent Kane.
