Thanks for the infro.I read the 2nd Ill online.Iam looking for the other book.From all that I have found they ate a lot of sweetpotatoes. From a daiaries of E.B. Root 2nd New York and W.B Cox 6th Mo cavalry.They both mention sweetpotatoes as in History of the 2nd Ill cavalry.I have nearly a day -by day acount of this expedition.I got the union units in this expedition,,and now working on the southern units.Thanks again
