Arrival of the Twenty-Second Indiana Volunteers
| Description: |
The soldiers are leaving the steamboat City of Alton and walking into St. Louis. Church steeples are in the background. A rowboat is on the shore with two men standing near it. The article says the sketch was made by one of the soldiers, and an excerpt from his accompanying letter is in the article. He says the regiment was in North Madison until August 14, 1861 when they received orders to proceed to St. Louis via Indianapolis. At the Mississippi River they boarded the steamboat City of Alton and went on to St. Louis. He described the levee there as being desolate. Further into the city the soldiers were greeted by people. From there they marched to their camp site at Herzingers Cave. |
