Curiosity piqued by two poems written by his great-great-grandmother initiated David Thackery's scholarly exploration into the history of the Sixty-sixth Ohio Volunteer Infantry and the wartime history of Champaign County, Ohio, from which it was recruited.

The words and stories of individual soldiers give depth and substance to the regiment's experience.
