The book gives an overview of the actions that the 31st was in but very little in the way of details of their role in the various battles they were engaged in.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Wow!!By HedyI was so happy to find this book. My great-great grandfather was with the Illinois 31st and his name is mentioned in the book. It will be a family heirloom.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Five StarsBy George Wardanother good history lesson
