| You
will notice cavalry and artillery companies listed within infantry
regiments. Later in the war, these were transferred to all cavalry or
artillery units. You will also see listed, units which originated in other
states, but which fought under Illinois designations. Some units of
Illinois men were recruited and assigned to other states, then officially
transferred and re-named as Illinois regiments. Other units such as
Busteed's Chicago Light Artillery apparently remained as part of the New
York 1st Light Artillery and 4th Artillery for the remainder of the war.
Civil War common practice
was utilized for Regiments with unknown nicknames, and the Colonel's name
was plugged in temporarily. IE: 63 Mord's (Francis) Regiment.
