Army Life of an Illinois Soldier, Charles Wright Wills, (8th Illinois Infantry)
    

“Good bye, war.”–Army Life of an Illinois Soldier, Charles Wright Wills.

Raleigh, April 19, 1865.

Joe Johnston surrendered the whole thing yesterday to Sherman. Our 4th division and a division of the 17th Corps receive the arms, etc. We go into a regular camp tomorrow to await developments. If any more Confederacy crops out, we, I suppose, will go for it, otherwise in a couple of months we’ll muster out. That’s all. Good bye, war.
