What I Remember of the Great Rebellion James N Jackson

Wells B. Fox completed a surgical record of all Michigan Regiments in the Ninth Army Corps. This was valuable to the families of the old soldiers and described in detail the facts relative to each wounded soldier, with character of wound, treatment and disposition of the case. Dr. Fox dedicated this publication to his comrades of the six Michigan Regiments [2nd, 8th, 17th, 20th, 27th, & 1st Sharpshooters] who were wounded from May 6, 1864 to the close of the rebellion, including battles of the Wilderness, Spotsylvania, North Anna, Cold Harbor, Petersburg, Weldon Railroad, Poplar Grove Church, and those sick in the Field Hospital. He was, by invitation of Gen. Sheridan, a witness of the making of the terms of peace between Grant and Lee at Appomattox, Virginia. Additional research resulting in over one thousand footnotes by the editor are included to help validate this material. An index is also included. James N. Jackson is a researcher and indexer living in Battle Creek, Michigan.
