Excerpt from An Exact Duplicate Copy of Chapter VIII in the History of the Seventy-Third Regiment Illinois Infantry Volunteers: Col. Jaquess's Visit to Richmond, Va;, July, 1864; It's Part in the Presidential Campaign of That Year
The foregoing, having been incorporated by Dr. Eddy in his work, Patriotism of Illinois, it is, as before stated, safe to assume that the statements made are true, and sanctioned by Colonel Jaquess. The ac count was written while the events of which it treats were new and fresh in the public mind, and has, so far as we know, met with no contradiction.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book follows the life and career of a Methodist minister, educator, and military officer who served as a colonel in the 73rd Illinois Regiment during the Civil War. Born in Indiana in 1819, James F. Jaquess initially intended to become a lawyer but instead was ordained as a minister in 1847. His strong religious convictions and moral compass influenced every aspect of his life, including his decision to raise and command a regiment to fight for the preservation of the Union. The book explores Jaquess' extraordinary service during the war, including his daring secret mission to Richmond in 1864, where he met with Confederate President Jefferson Davis and gained valuable insights into the enemy's plans and strategy. Drawing on a wealth of primary sources, including letters, newspaper accounts, and personal interviews, the author provides a vivid and immersive account of this remarkable figure and his significant contributions to American history.
