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.
