Read More	Courtesy of Kent Gebhard: U.S. Civil War Soldiers, 1861-1865: Name Elisha Stockwell Side Union Regiment State/Origin Wisconsin Regiment 14th Regiment, Wisconsin Infantry Company I Rank In Private Rank Out Corporal Film Number M559 roll 29 Elisha Stockwell signed up for the war at age fifteen. But his father objected and his name was crossed out. Later in the year the boy ran away and joined as a soldier when the captain of a friend's company lied a little (about his age). He survived the war and went on to marry and raise a family on a small farm. After his wife died in 1927, he was persuaded to write his memoirs. He was eighty-one years old at the time and nearly blind from cataracts. Aided by a thin stick of wood to guide his hand, Elisha wrote the memoirs with no chapters, very few paragraph breaks, and little punctuation. Kept for years by one of his daughters, Byron R. Abernathy was asked by that daughter in 1951 to have them typed into readable shape. Elisha's story was published in 1958, a vital and interesting account, of the humorous as well as the dirt and death and brutality of war.
