William e. Strong of Company T,
Second Wisconsin, rode out. When he
came back he had a blood curdling
story to tell that attracted much at
tention. He had suddenly run into
squad of several Confederates and.
SINCE handed and alone, had whipped
them, killing one or two and wounding
others. AS you know, that was early
in the war and an incident of that
kind. at that time, was a big thing.
Governor Randall and other Wiscon-
sin people had seen the accounts Of
Captain Strong's encounter with the
enemy and 1t did not take long to de-
eide that he Ehould be major of the
new regiment then forming, and he
was appointed The major was soon
detailed as an inspecting officer and
on special duty most of the time,
reaching the responsible place of in
spector general of the Seventeenth
corps. At the end of the war he was
a breVet brigadier general
The Twelfth left Madison the sec
Ond week in January, 1862, and went
direct to Weston, Mo-, travelling from
Hannibal, 236 miles, in open freight
cars when the thermometer indicated
Is degrees below zero, and there was
no fire in the cars. 1t did a great deal
Of guard duty in Missouri and Kansas,
and participated in various expeditions
rnffl Nav r,p haf Il
to Tennessee. 1t was It's fortune to
participate in several important raids
and to be assigned to responsible po-
sitions in that state during the next
three months. In these raids the
Twelfth ran up against the enemy
several times and won good name.
When the Vicksburg campaign came
the Twelfth took its place with the at.
tacking force and was on duty until
Pemberton's surrender, and then
joined Sherman in his campaign
against Jackson. Colonel Bryant was
in command of the brigade. From the
capture of Jackson until the opening
Of the campaign in 1854 the Twelfth
kept up its reputation as a raider and
a guarder of railways, frequently get
ting into hot skirmishes, losing a con.
siderable number of men. At the af.
fair at Bolton station, during Sher-
mans Meridian expedition, shell ex-
ploded in Company !, killing one man
and wounding five Others.
The regiment re-enlisted in March,
1894 Az fhn .p
In Wisconsin it was ordered to the
front and joined the army on the way
to Atlanta, June 8, and from that time
until the end Of the campaign was al
