NEW BOOK AVAILABLE
It is with great
pleasure that I've gotten to correspond with book author Rhonda M. Kohl. About
two years ago she had called the Christian Co. Historical Society asking if we
might have a photo of William Skiles, (a Taylorville, IL. native in which the Society
had published, a now out of print book titled "Letters to Home"), so
that she could use the photo in her new book "Prairie Boys Go To
War". I looked, and yes we did which I copied and sent to her.
Rhonda informed
me a couple of weeks ago that her book "Prairie Boys Go To War" had
been printed and was available for sale on these sites:
About the Fifth
Illinois Cavalry between the years 1861 to September 1865.
Rhonda offers the
only modern, comprehensive analysis of a southern Illinois regiment during the
Civil War.
There is also a
'Roster' listing available (click on Roster) for viewing.
Rhonda M. Kohl is
also on Facebook and has a Facebook page for her book:
The Prairie Boys Go to
War: The Fifth Illinois Cavalry, 1861-1865
