Excerpt from "Bugle Echoes, The Story of Illinois 47th" authored by B.C. Bryner : George H McIlvaine was an organizer of the 47th. Physical disability prevented enlistment, but he was active in organising troops for the field. He was also a member of the pre civil war military organization called The National Blues.
