Unfortunately I wasn’t able to get the official page switched to here and half to start entirely from scratch. This is frustrating, but at the end of the day it’s going to be worth it!! I promise. If you want to keep up, The Unfiltered Historian is the new and main page.

The 19th Indiana belonged to the Iron Brigade, one of the most elite fighting units in the north during the Civil War. Much of what we know come from Wisconsin and Michigan regiments in the brigade, but there are a few surviving accounts of Indiana and their involvements, Jones's letters, are among those few....
