The 48th Regiment, Illinois Infantry was organized at Camp Butler, Illinois September, 1861
It moved to Little Rock, Arkansas, June 25 and mustered out August 15, 1865. [1]
Companies in this Regiment with County of Origin[edit | edit source]
Men often enlisted in a company recruited in the counties where they lived though not always. After many battles, companies might be combined because so many men were killed or wounded. However if you are unsure which company your ancestor was in, try the company recruited in his county first.
