    I found this site when I was researching my Great Great Grandfather Frank Applebee's former commanders. He served with the Nineteenth Illinois Volunteer Infantry Regiment, Company C mustered in 1861. I just read a thread about Colonel Scott, who died at the Battle of Stones River. I hope to find more stories about the Nineteenth.

    Well good luck. You know how to get on the internet, so use the internet.
    You have an excellent start. You can search - Nineteenth Illinois Volunteer Infantry Regiment-
    then -Scott battle stones river-

    Since the internet is over ten years old, someone probably has researched that regiment and put some obscure information on their own website.
    And as I would tell any newbie - If they think it's more research than they did in high school, it probably is.

    Chapter VII.--Injuries Of The Pelvis.
    Section II.--Wounds Of The Blood-Vessels And Nerves
    CASE 975.--Colonel Joseph R. Scott, 19th Illinois, was wounded at the battle of Murfreesboro', December 31, 1861. A musket ball entered the thigh just below the groin, at the outer side of the femoral vessels, grazed the inside of the femur, and came out at the buttock. At the time of the injury there was haemorrhage, which was controlled, as was supposed, by pressure on the femoral artery. The compression was continued for three weeks, during which time no haemorrhage recurred. The wound suppurated and some small scales of bone came out at each orifice of the wound. He was sent to his home in Chicago, and did very well, although the wound remained open behind until April 5th, when a small tumor formed in front, which was opened. A day or two after, a haemorrhage took place from both openings. On April 9th, at night, a copious bleeding was partly controlled by pressure, but recurred at intervals. On April 10th, Professor Brainard was summoned, and applied a compressor over the femoral. This seemed to arrest the bleeding; but in about two hours it returned, and was so great as to threaten death, and Dr. Brainard resolved to tie the external lilac, not doubting, from the history of the case. that the haemor-rhage proceeded from branches of the profunda femoris, close to its origin. With the aid of Professor Freer and the Drs. Hurlburt, the external iliac was tied by Lisfranc's method; but the bleeding was as profuse as ever, and it became evident that the ischiatic artery was the one giving blood. The danger was urgent, and Dr. Brainard at once extended his incision upward and outward and placed a ligature on the common lilac. The wound in the thigh was then enlarged, and a great quantity of coagula turned out. Warm applications were made to the limb, and brandy and broth ordered. On April 11th, the limb was cool, but not cold; pulse 100; nausea troublesome. On April 12th, pain and tenderness in the left renal region; pulse 120; wounds beginning to suppurate. On April 24th, ligature came away from external lilac, and, on May 1st, from common iliac. The wound of operation was healed on May 12th. He remained in good condition until July, the posterior wound still discharging pus and small bits of necrosed bone. At this date, he was attacked by colliquative diarrhoea, followed by typhoid fever, and died on July 8, 1863.

    Thanks for all the information M E Wolf! And to all for your kind greetings. Very helpful! I have a copy of the Nineteenth Illinois history/memoir by J Henry Haynie, which my sister located at University. I'm going through it now. I didn't know Col. Scott survived so long with his terrible wound.

    I've ordered my GG Grandfather's service and pension records from the Archives. I wish I had known more about him when I was a young student, it would have given me more interest in the Civil War period. My mother and father brought me to Illinois many times to visit Lincoln's tomb, but made no mention of GG Grandfather fighting in the war. They must not have known of his service.

    Here's a link to the IL Adjutant General's regimental history for the 19th IL Infantry: http://civilwar.ilgenweb.net/history/019.html
    There might be some interesting tidbits there.

    I see that the 19th IL's first commander was COL Turchin. He was quite a character; formerly a Colonel in Czar Nicholas I's Russian army, he came to the US and ended up a BGEN in the Union Army. In 1862, Turchin was courtmartialed for allowing his troops to ransack Athens, AL, after some supposed provocations by partisan attacks. At Chickamauga, Turchin's wife, Nadine, stayed with the brigade and division wagons on the western edge of the battlefield and has, in her diary, the only female account of the battle. You'll probably find lots of good info on these two.
