Abstract
Does the service of the Fifty-second Illinois Veteran Volunteer Infantry Regiment confirm or refute the findings of historians studying American Civil War Soldiers? This paper examines the regiment's service from their original organization in August of 1861, through their important actions at the Battle of Shiloh, April 6-8, 1862.
