144th Illinois Volunteer Infantry Regiment


The 144th Illinois Volunteer Infantry Regiment was raised in October of 1864, and served through July of 1865.

They were raised in Alton, Illinois with the majority of the men being Alton residents. This regiment was organized to guard the prisons in Alton and St. Louis.

This is how they would have appeared during their term of service from 1864 - 1865.

The regiment was issued frock coats and forage caps, and tin-types of the regiment snow this as the most common wear as the men were nearly always on garrison or guard duty.

The regiment was completely armed with 1853 Enfield rifles, and wore the standard Federal Issue leather accoutrements.

​As this regiment never went on campaign, he doesn’t carry his full marching order, just his leathers and canteen.
