Summary "The 125th Regiment, Illinois Volunteer Infantry: Attention Battalion!" by Robert M. Rogers is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book serves as a firsthand narrative of the experiences and memories of the 125th Illinois Volunteer Infantry during the Civil War, exploring their organization, early campaigns, and the comradeship built amidst the trials of military life. Through the personal touch of the author, who was a soldier in the regiment, readers can expect an engaging portrayal of the bravery and struggles faced by these soldiers. The opening of the work reveals the author’s intention to document the military life of the 125th Illinois, starting with their initial formation and the challenges of adjusting to army life. Rogers reflects on their mustering into service, the camaraderie among soldiers from farming communities, and the vivid emotions experienced during their departure from home. He shares anecdotes about life in camp, including their struggles with equipment, early drills, and humorous incidents that showcase their inexperience. The narrative sets a tone of nostalgia and sincerity, emphasizing the dedication and sacrifices of those who served, and hints at the trials they will face in the battles to come.
