Brief History[edit | edit source]
The 42nd Regiment, Illinois Infantry was organized at Chicago, Illinois, July 22, 1861. It mustered out at Camp Irwin December 16 and discharged at Springfield, Illinois, January 10, 1866. [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.
