Chiefly, a record of the Civil War journey of William McDill who was born in Ross County, Ohio on 9 May 1838 and rose to the challenge of patriotism and joined the 89th Ohio Volunteer Infantry Regiment at age 24 on 26 August 1862 to fight for the Union in the Civil War. Private William McDill, Company K, Ohio 89th Infantry Regiment, was captured at the Battle of Chickamauga, Georgia, on September 20, 1863.
