WISCONSIN WAR HISTORY

WISCONSIN WAR HISTORY
The purpose of the Wisconsin War
History commission is to collect mate
rial which any future historian of the
war may use. The State Historical So
ciety will be the depositary for such
material as is general in its nature,
but in each county committees are at
work to gather material as to such
county's service. In our county, all in
formation and materials gathered will
find permanent place in the Manito-
voc Public library.
During the Civil war this kind of
work could have been more easily
done, for Military units were then re-
cruited and organized by localities and
states. Thus Manitowoc county had a
number of companies, recruited
solely within the county, and their re-
spective muster rolls furnished all the
information necessary. But in this war
the enlisted men have been scattered
throughout the National army and
there is no organization that can
strictly be designated with the name
of a state.
Under these conditions the work
necessarily points to the individual,
toward obtaining the service record OF
every man from each locality. Supt
Cary suggests a most helpful method
by encouraging the cooperation of
the teachers. In accordance Herewith
the undersigned, as chairman of the
Manitowoc County committee OBJ
tained from Supt Voboril list of the
teachers in the county Each of them
was requested to try and obtain the
names and addresses of men enlisted
from their respective districts and re-
port the same.
To the teachers returning such
names, questionnaires were then sent,
which, when filed, will supply the in
formation desired. These question
naires are now being sent to the men
in service, some by their relatives and
some by the teachers themselves
When this information has been col
lected, it will be possible to write
separately, history Of any towns
participation in the war. The Co
operation of the teachers has been en-
thusiastic and thorough, as shown by
the appended list of the reports re-
ceiyed to date This is a very encour.

handicap caused by the influenza epi

be glad to furnish each week, a list o
these reports.
