A Long Way To Ride A Horse Dale L Isgrigg

FROM INDIANA TO TENNESSEE... THAT IS A LONG WAY TO RIDE A HORSE While doing research on his family heritage, Dale Isgrigg discovered that his great-great grandfather, Andrew Jackson Isgrigg, was a soldier in the Union Army with the Indiana Tenth Regiment, Third Cavalry Unit. Upon Andrew's death, his obituary recorded a list of 13 major battles and skirmishes between 1861 - 1865 that were taken from his "personal" war journal. Unfortunately no one knows what happened to Andrew's journal after his death. This is a memoir of Dale Isgrigg's journey to retrace the steps of Andrew Jackon Isgrigg and tell his story. As he chronicles his visits to each battlefield, Isgrigg reflects not only on Andrew's journey, but on his own journey. In doing so, Isgrigg hopes that Andrew's "war journal" will no longer be lost and will honor his legacy in the Isgrigg family as a Clinton County Indiana Civil War hero.
