Major Connolly, 123rd Illinois Infantry, served in the Army of the Cumberland from 1862 to the end of the war. From the jacket notes: “Until the fall of 1864, Connolly wrote voluminous letters to Mary Dunn of Mount Gilead, Ohio … later his wife. From the beginning of the Savannah campaign … he began to keep a diary.” His letters and diary were first published in 1928.
