Old Abe was magnificent bird. His
wings measured six feet and a half
from tip to tip; his plumage was
beautiful chocolate with a golden lus-
tire, his tail white with black spots,
and his head and neck pure white.
P. T. Barnum offered $4,000 for
him. but the proposition was never
seriously considered.
Intelligent, affectionate and devoted
to his friends, our feathered hero was
quick to resent an insult, and woe to
the stranger who dared to trifie with
his dignity.
The king of birds came from long
lived race. Eagles have been known
TO live 100 years, and Old Abe might
still be with us had it not been for a
fire at the capitol. near his cage. The
birds cries brought help, and he was
taken to place of safety, but it was
too late. The smoke which he inhaled
affected his lungs, and he went into
rapid decline and died March rs. 1881.

The news of his death was received
with universal regret, and war-scarred
veterans were not ashamed of the
tears that rolled down their bronzed
cheeks as they talked together OF
their old comrade.
The taxidermist. exerted his utmost
skill in preserving the majestic poise
of the head and graceful curve of the

interest to the tourist.-The Four

They named him "Old Abe" in honor
of the President, and when they
joined the Eighth Wisconsin Infantry
at Madison they took the bird with
them.
He at once became universal pet,
and gained for the Eighth the name
of "The Eagle Regiment"
When the gallant band left Camp
Randall for the seat of war in Oc.o-

greeted with the greatest enthusiasm,

front ranks with his regiment, and
he bore his part in the terrible siege
OF Vicksburg.
Old Abe, with his heavy perch, was
no light weight to be borne alott
through all the vicissitIdes OF war,
but. though the soldiers often suffer-
ed for food, it was seldom that Old
Abe went hungry. for the whole regi'
ment would sometimes turn out TO
catch rabbit for his supper.
The brilliant victory at Hurrican
Creek, La, August %, 1864, was fit
ting termination to our hero's null
tary career. He had been in the
thick of the fight in twenty-five severe
battles and as many skirmishes, but
had never lost one drop of his royal
blood.
When the term of enlistment had
expired and the eagle company was
mustered out, the question naturally
arose as to what should be done with
the soldier bird. After some discus
sion it was voted to present him to
the State of Wisconsin. Three years
before, when entering upon new and
untried experiences, he had excited
great curiosity and interest. but his
journey home. his head grown white
in his country's service, was tri-
umphal march. He was received at
Madison by Governor Lewis with APP
propriate ceremonies on September
26. 1864. and given a room at the
capitol.
. From that time until his death he
was in constant demand at soldiers

attraction. He attended the Sanitary
