520 _a"The History of Company A, Second Illinois Cavalry" by Samuel H. Fletcher is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book focuses on the experiences of Company A during the American Civil War, particularly detailing the formation, battles, and personal stories of members in the regiment. It seeks to preserve the memories of the soldiers' sacrifices and the context of the conflicts they fought in. The opening of the book sets the stage for the narrative by describing the fervent emotions and sociopolitical climate of the early summer of 1861, just before the outbreak of the Civil War. It illustrates the urgency for enlistment as tensions rise, highlighting the quick mobilization of troops and the atmosphere of patriotism among the citizens of Illinois. The narrative also introduces key figures, such as Captain John Hotaling, and the emotional moments of saying goodbye to loved ones, as well as the excitement and apprehension of embarking on a journey into war. Additionally, it illustrates an inspiring speech by "Nick" Hotaling, emphasizing the deep connection to the flag and the cause for which the soldiers were about to fight.
