When manmade wings first flew over Princeton

County who served in the NinetyThird Regiment Illinois Volunteer Infantry.

The book History of the Ninety-Third Regiment Illinois Volunteer Infantry, written by Aaron Dunbar of Dover and Harvey Trimble of Princeton, is a treasure trove of information. It extensively details the regiment’s movements throughout the war and lists every man and what happened to him, including whether he was taken prisoner and died under Confederate control.

There also exists online the invaluable resource “A List of The Union Soldiers Buried at Andersonville,” in part compiled by the efforts of famous nurse, Clara Barton. The list of names is organized by state, and Illinois’ list of dead is 5 pages long.
