One of my second great -grandfathers might have been there. He served in the 30th Illinois for the entire war, and marched with Sherman to the sea.

Fantastic. The 30th was involved in the capture of Fort Henry and then Fort Donelson early in the war. These victories helped elevate Grant (and Halleck) to their eventual lofty positions.
