This is Marion Morrison's account of the Bloody Ninth, the Ninth Regiment Illinois Volunteer Infantry who found themselves in the thick of battle, bearing the brunt of the Confederate attempt at Fort Donelson to break Grant's siege lines.
We Were The Ninth is a translation, carefully edited and thoroughly annotated, of an important Civil War regiment. The Ninth Ohio--composed of Ohio Germans mostly from Cincinnati--saw action at Rich Mountain and Carnifex Ferry in West Virginia, Shiloh, Corinth, Perryville, Hoover's Gap, Nashville, Chattanooga, and Chickamauga.The Ninth began the War amid misgivings (Would a German-speaking regiment in the Union Army cause chaos?) and ended its active service among the honored units. It continued as an active German-speaking veterans' organization. Constantin Grebner published this significant history, in German, in 1897 and noted that it "is intended as neither a history of the war nor a definitive account of battles. Rather, it is restricted to a straight­forward, veracious report of what happened to The Ninth, and to recounting as accurately as possible The Ninth's experiences as a wartime regiment." Frederic Trautmann's English translation is faithful to Grebner's original text, preserving its integrity while maintaining its energy, precision, and grace.
Marion Morrison's 'A History of the Ninth Regiment, Illinois Volunteer Infantry' presents a comprehensive account of the regiment's military actions during the American Civil War. Initially, Morrison compiled the history as a newspaper article, but on the urging of officers and soldiers, expanded it to include not only battles but also personal accounts of daily life during marches and scouts. Using information provided by Adjutant Klock and the soldiers themselves, Morrison felt it was crucial to bring to light the Ninth Regiment's deeds, often unrecognized by the media. This book is a tribute to the brave men who served and an important source for future historians seeking to understand this critical period in American history.
