See the pictures section of the page for comparisons and past shots.

Purpose of the Site

This site is dedicated to the German Immigrants, descendants of German Immigrants, and non-germans that answered the call of President Lincoln to aid in the preservation of the Union during the civil war. It’s hoped that the site can become a place for the regiment’s descendants to reconnect and remember what sacrifices their ancestors made or were willing to make to preserve this union.

This site is also dedicated to August Funk, a German Immigrant who joined the regiment shortly after being married and who answered his President’s call for volunteers. A brief history of August’s life is below.

74^th Gear

Utilizing an “e-store” from CafePress.com, you can now show your pride in our ancestor’s regiment. When you purchase something from the 74^th CafePress.com store, the proceeds will be used to support preservation projects (battlefields, relics, documents) as determined by the descendants of the regiment.
