The 93rd Indiana Infantry in the Civil War

My great-great grandfather served in the 93rd Indiana Infantry during the Civil War. In researching his life, I needed to learn about what happened to the regiment he was in. As I find information, I'll link it here for use with the book I'm writing about the life of Abraham Bates Tower, my ancestor.

If you had a relative serving in the 93rd Indiana Volunteer Infantry, I hope you find this information helpful.

    I also have a Great Grandfather who was in Company G, of the 93rd Indiana. In years past I have researched as much information on him & his Regiment as I could. Unfortunately I have not found much to go on beyond the official history, & the Official Records. He enlisted under the name of Samuel P. Fletcher, but his real name was William H. Birth. It took me from 1978 to 2011 to find out why he used a false name,.,My email is brianm769@aol.com....

    Brian, I can't wait to compare notes. Just think, our ancestors marched shoulder-to-shoulder, camped together, sat around the campfire and faced bullets whistling over their heads. That was 150 years ago. Amazing.
