Organized and mustered into Federal service at Indianapolis in December 1861, the 35th Indiana Volunteer Infantry contained recruits from across the state, and even had one company of men from Dayton, Ohio. Initially issued green kepis, the regiment saw action at Perryville, Dobbin's Ferry, Stone's River, Chickamauga, Missionary Ridge, the Atlanta Campaign, Franklin, and Nashville. Stationed briefly in Texas after hostilities ended, the 35th was mustered out on September 30, 1865, and discharged at Indianapolis in October.
Kevin Charles Murray, an Indianapolis attorney, covering state, local and municipal matters, was selected as a Super Lawyer in 2005, 2006 and 2008. This peer designation is awarded merely to an elite number of accomplished attorneys in each state. The Super Lawyer selection process considers peer recognition, professional achievement in legal practice, and other cogent factors. Prior to his career, Kevin studied at Indiana University Robert H. McKinney School of Law, graduating in 1979. After passing the bar exam, he was admitted to legal practice in the same year.
