Lt. Col James Harrison Goodnow served in the 12th Indiana Volunteer Infantry during a critical time in the Western Theater of the Civil War (May 1862 to September 1864, when Atlanta fell to Union armies). Mary Kadlecek transcribed and digitized 92 letters, mostly written by James Goodnow from various camps and battlefields (originals now preserved in the Library of Congress) and added an introductory monograph with genealogical and military context. The print version of these documents are available in the Local History & Genealogy Department of the Jennings County Public Library
