History of 100th Illinois Regiment

Joliet Rotarians listened to interesting bits of Civil War history, when historian Bob Kuzma spoke about the Will County Regiment – the 100th Illinois during a recent Club meeting.

Introduced by Rotarian Judge Jeff Allen, Kuzma spoke about the regiment whose roots and membership came from Will County – many from Joliet.

Organized at Camp Irwin in Joliet, the 100th Illinois were routed to the South, including Louisville, Kentucky and Chattanooga, Tennessee.
