Opis

This is the story of the four McDonough County residents from Bushnell and Prairie City who received the Congressional Medal of Honor for their heroic acts during the Civil War. Chaplain Milton Haney, Sergeant Jacob Sanford and Corporal Robert M. Cox were volunteers in the Fifty-fifth Illinois Regiment and Samuel McConnell served as a Captain with the 119th Illinois Volunteers, But this story is not theirs alone. One-hundred twenty-nine brave men from Bushnell, Prairie City and Marietta served in Companies F and G of the Fifty-fifth Regiment and 35 gave their very lives to preserve the union that we now call the United States of America.
