== Introduction ==
The collection of the material for this work was began soon 
after the outbreak of the rebellion. Being placed in a favorable 
position — in a clerical capacity — where most of the correspond- 
ence relating to the organization of the earlier regiments, passed 
through his hands, the author obtained the consent of Gk)vemor 
Bandall, to the copying of such matters as would possess histor- 
ical importance. The collection of material was continued during 
the rebellion. The business in which the author was engaged 
daring the war, enabled him still further to become acquainted 
with the movements of all the re^ments or other organizations 
sent from the State. In addition, access has been had to the 
reports and documents on file in the Executive and Adjutant 
General's Offices. From these sources the author has been 
enabled to prepare the work now presented to the public. Our 
object has been to give a plain statement of &cts, as &r as 
possible, in a concise form, without attempting an elaborate 
historical style. 
We have endeavored to give a correct narrative of what was 
accomplished by the State authorities during the war, in filling 
the requisitions made for troops by the General Government — 
of the legislation necessary to enable the State officers to act 
efficiently in support of the Government, and to provide means 
to aid the &milies of those who enlisted in the United States 
military service from this State— and the various matters relating 
6 INTBODUCTIOir. 
to military affairs which engaged the .attention of the sereral 
Executives and the Adjutant Generals of the State, daring the 
war. 
The chapter on the Sanitary operations of the State, gives an 
account of the several expeditions sent out by Governors Salo- 
mon and Lewis, under the superintendence of Surgeon General 
Wolcott, to the several hattle-fields wherever Wisconsin soldiers 
were engaged, showing that the State has always exhibited an 
active and noble interest in the comfort and wel&re of our sick 
and wounded heroes, as well on the battle-field, as in the several 
hospitals, where State agents were sent to attend to the wants 
and comfort of those of our soldiers who were inmates of those 
institutions. 
In order that the general reader may understand the connec- 
tion which Wisconsin regiments had with the general military 
operations of the Government, we have endeavored to make a 
short sketch of those operations in the several divisions or 
departments into which the rebellious district was divided, and 
the war was prosecuted, by the Government. 
The regimental histories are prepared from the best material 
within reach. They are necessarily brief, but are believed to 
contain a fi^ir history of the organizations, and the lists of casu- 
alties have been gathered wherever they have been officially 
published, or otherwise made public, and the names corrected, 
wherever it could be done. They are necessarily imperfect as 
even the original muster rolls cannot be considered as giving the 
names of enlisted men correctly, as every person knows who has 
occasion to examine the rolls. In many cases the casualties are 
not reported, or are so mixed up in the monthly reports as to 
defy all attempts to make up a reliable list Besides this, the 
monthly reports, in many cases, contain only the names of those 
who were wounded and absent from the regiment when the 
repojrt was made. The gathering of these casualties has involved 
muoDcronoifl T 
much thne'aoid labor^ and they have sweUed fhe work to much 
hu^r dhnenaions than was originally intended. 
In the sketches of the militaiy services of onr general officers 
and others, we have attempted no literary effect, hat have heen 
contented to give a correct outline of their services as fiur as 
practicable. In many cases, due credit has heen given these offi- 
cers in the regimental histories, for the several actions in which 
they were engaged. A biographical notice of each of the regi- 
mental officers would have been an interesting feature, but it 
was impossible to obtain data for Ihat purpose, except by per- 
sonal application to the parties themselves, which in many cases 
iwould not have secured a reply. 
Our acknowledgements are due to Governors Lewis and 
Fairchild, for the fiftvors which they have extended for the 
preparaticm of the work. 
To Adjutant Gteneral Gkiylord were we espedalty indebted 
for numerous ftvors we have received at his hands, and the read- 
iness with which our request to examine the reports and records 
in his office, has been responded to. At great labor the General 
has caused to be prepared from the monthly reports, a list of 
those killed in hattle, or died of wounds received. By reference 
to the regimental histories, it will be seen that we have largely 
ayailed ourselves of this valuable record, deeming it the most 
correct of any list asttainable, as it is taken from the original 
reports, and published in the Adjutant General's rq>ort of 1866. 
The statistics found at the end of each regimental history are 
taken from a table, also prepared in the office of Adjutant 
General Gk^ylord from the original reports. 
We are also indebted to various officers for memoranda relat* 
ing to their several regiments, among them. Brigadier General 
Fairchild, of Ihe Second Begiment, Brigadier General Pidne, 
of the Fourth, Brigadier General Allen, of the Fifth, Major 
General Solomon, of the Ninth, Chaplain Walker, of the Twelfth, 
8 IKTEODUCTIOK. 
the Chaplain of the Thirteenth, Colonel Hancock, of the FotLiv 
teenth, Major Wilson, of the Fifteenth, Brigadier General Ho- 
bart, of the Twenty-first, General Winkler, of the Twenty-eixtli, 
Mr. Tompkins, of the Twenty-ninth, Major Ball, of the Thirty- 
first, Colonel Warner, of the Thirty-sixth, Lieutenant Colonel 
B. C. Eden, of the Thirty-seventh, and Lieutenant Colonel Pier, 
of the Thirty-eighth Infantry, and to Lieutenant Stevens, of 
Company G, Sharpshooters, and Captain Zichrick, of the Twelfth 
Light Battery. To Sergeant George Fairfield, of Company O, 
of the Sixth Lifantry, we are indebted for the loan of a well 
kept diary, fi*om July, 1861, to the battle of Antietam, where he 
was severely wounded, and during the Wilderness campaign^ up 
to the assault of the 18th of June, 1864, where he was again 
wounded. 
A summing up of what was accomplished will show that Wis- 
consin sent to the field over 91,200 men, over 1,200 more than 
the several requisitions of the General Government called for. 
That nearly 11,000. of these were killed or died of wounds 
received in battle, or fell victims to diseases contracted in the 
military service, to say nothing of those who died after their dis- 
charge, and whose deaths do not appear upon the military rec- 
ords — that nearly $12,000,000 were expended by the State 
authorities, and the people of the several counties and towns 
throughout the State, in their effort to sustain the Ifational 
Government. 
At this date, only two regiments of Wisconsin remain in the 
field, viz : the Fourth Cavalry, in Texas, and the Fifdeth Lifantry, 
at Fort Union, in Dakotah Territory. Since writing up the regi- 
mental histories, the Thirty-fifth and Forty-eighth regiments 
have been mustered out of service and disbanded* 
After the completion of the body of the work, which has 
swelled to a volume &r beyond the limits first intended, the 
Legislature of 1866, convened, and among other matters, passed 
XNTKODUcnoir. 9 
a law aaihorizing the establisbment of the <^ Boldiera' Orphana' 
Home of WiaconBin," appropriating $10,000 for the purchase of 
the neceaaaiy bnildiDgs and groondB, and alao, $25,000 for the 
support of the ^' Home," during the current year. In order that 
our readers may understand the character of the Institution, so 
nobly established by the efforts of Mrs. Harvey, and her friends, 
in a subsequent page of tiiis introduction, we have given \i 
description of the building, after a personal examination, accom- 
panied by an engraving taken from a photograph made expressly 
for this work, together with a synopsis of the law establishing 
the institution, by which the friends of the soldiers' orphans will 
be able to understand the manner in which admission to the 
" Home " may be obtained. 
TVisconsin may well feel proud of her record nuKle in defence 
of the National existence. Shoulder to shoulder with the other 
loyal States of the Union, she has stood in the front rank. From 
her workshops, her farms and her vast pineries, have i>oured 
forth the stalwart men, who have filled up the organizations 
which she has sent to the field. The blood of these brave men 
has drenched almost every battle-field of the rebellion from Get- 
tysburg to the valley of the Bio Grande. Establishing at an early 
day, a reputation for gallantry and endurance, Wisconsin regi- 
ments always occupied positions where hard fighting was to be 
done, and reference need only to be made to the history of the 
Iron Brigade, the Third and Fifth, the Twenty-sixth, the Thirty- 
sixth, Thirty-seventh and Thirty-eighth In&ntry in the army of 
the Potomac, to show that their pathway was marked by a 
bloody record. 
It is out of place to assume that Wisconsin did better than 
her sister States. We claim that she did her full duty — that her 
several Executives in every way, used their best efforts to for- 
ward the desires of the General Government for troops — that 
her people responded from first to last, with a noble patriotism, to 
10 XNTRODuonoir. 
the sereral caUs — and that those who remaihed at home, were 
layish of their meansy not only to stimulate enlistments by the 
payment of extra bounties, but to aid and support that left wing 
of the grand army of the Union, eomposed for the most part, of 
the mothers and daughters of the Nation, and the effect of whose 
labors and patriotic efforts are seen in the happiness of many a 
£ftnily, for the return and restoration to health of many a son 
and £ftther, who otherwise would have slept in death on Southern 
soil. 
Apnl 12, 1866. 
== Soldier's Orphans' Home ==
Let die chapter on the sanitary operationB of the State, we have 
incidentally mentioned that a project was on foot to establish a 
^^ Home " for the orphan children of soldiers of Wisconsin, who 
were killed or died in the service of the United States during the 
rebellion. 
We are gratified to be able to state that the '* Home " ha8been> 
established, and by a recent act of the Legislatnre, adopted as 
one of the Benevolent Inrtitntions supported by the State. 
To correct a sentence in the notice of the institution given 
elsewhere, we here state that an erroneous impression prevails 
that the Genaral Gkovermnent donated the buildings. This is not 
80, as we are assured by Mrs. Harvey. The buildings were turned 
over to the owners of tiie property, in consideration of the rent 
and repairs necessary to place the main building in its originals 
condition when taken possession of by the United StaAes 
andiorities. 
Mrs. Harvey had entertained the idea of. establishing an insti* 
tation of this kind for two years preceding the end of the war, 
and on her return after the closing of her business as State 
agent, in the summer of 1865, she immediately set about the 
work which had occupied her thoughts for so long a period. It 
was ascertained that Oovemment was about to discontinue the 
general Hospitals in the Northern States, among them, << Harvqr 
United States Hospital," at Madison. Being digibly situated, 
and admirably adi^ted for the purpose designed by Mrs. Harvey, 
negotiations were ^entered into with the proprietors of the pro- 
perty, and so liberal a proposition was received from them, that 
it was deemed advisable by Governor Lewis, and other promi- 
nent friends of the undertaking, that Mrs. Harvey should proceed 
to Washington to endeavor to secure a title to the buildings 
12 S0LDIEE8' OKPHANS' HOMB. 
erected by the TJnited States. TJie War Department had no 
authority to make a donation, but on investigation of the matter, 
it was ascertained that the buildings, which would have to be 
torn down, would have no value to the Qovemment except as 
^' old lumber,^' amounting to but a small sum, an arrangement 
was made as we have stated above — the proprietors receiving 
the buildings in lieu of rent and repairs, on condition that the 
property should be devoted to the purposes of a " Soldiers' 
Orphans* Home." 
Soon after the return home of Mrs. Harvey, a sale of the 
" Hospital property " at Harvey Hospital, took place, the most 
of which, was purchased by the friends of the Home, at a price 
which Mrs. Harvey was enabled to pay by the liberality of the 
noble hearted citizens of Madison, and a few other places. It 
will thus be seen that the General Oovemment did not donate 
any portion of the property, although it dealt liberally with the 
friends of the enterprise, and enabled them to establish at once 
the institution contemplated. 
Repairs were immediately commenced, and the " Home *' was 
ready for the reception of inmates on the Ist of January, 1866. 
The personal exertions of Mrs. Harvey, and liberality of the 
citizens of the State, had secured means for the opening and sup- 
porting of the " Home," until the needed legislation for making 
it a State institution could be perfected. 
The property consists of a main building, built of stone. It is 
octagon in shape, three stories in height, with a roomy attic 
above, and an observatory at the top of the building. The sev- 
eral stories are reached by a spiral staircase in the centre, from 
the lower floor to the observatory. The lower floor of the main 
building is divided into a reception rootn — dining room for the 
officers and attendants — store room for bed linen and other arti- 
cles — a small kitchen with range, complete with closets, pantries, 
etc. A bath and wash room, with a sleeping room for the super- 
intendent of the lower dormitory, completes the lower floor. 
The upper stories are occupied as rooms for the officers and 
attendants, with a public parlor in the second etory, and a recita- 
tion room, and two rooms used for hospital purposes, and a 
sewing room in the third story. 
80LDIER8' orphans' HOMS. IS 
In order that the reader may better nnderstand oar description 
we have had a photograph taken, an engraying of which we here 
insert: 
From the west side of the main building extends a wing two 
stories in height, used as dormitories. Here the beds are arranged 
lengthwise of the building in four rows. These rooms are well 
ventilated, light and airy. On the south side of the main build- 
ing is a wing seventy-five feet in length, and twenty-five in width, 
the lower story of which is used as a dining room for the children 
of the Home," and a large kitchen in which is a range sufficient 
for cooking for a large number of persons. The second story of 
this wing is occupied as a school room capable of seating one 
hondred and fifty pupils. An office is also attached to this wing. 
The building is heated by furnaces in the basement story. A 
large octagon bam also belongs to the premises, with a laundry, 
and a steam en^e which supplies the building with water from 
the Third Lake, that forma the southern boundary of the 
premises. 
At this time, April 6th, 1866, there are eighty-five children at 
the " Home,'* all of whom are well cared for, and a good school 
provided for them under the superintendence of Miss Torrey, a 
niece of Colonel J. H. Howe, of Green Bay. Another school 
14 BOLDIE&S' OBFHAKB' SOXH. 
room is to be fitted up as the number of inmates of the*^^ Home'* 
increaisesy and it is expected diat three hnndred will be admitted 
by the first of June. 
The arrangement and organization of the " Home," has been 
entirely under the supervision of Mrs. Harvey, who has been 
untiring in her exertions, both in securing the means to start the 
institution, and to place it in active operation. She fully appre- 
ciates the liberality of the generous people of tiie State who have 
lent their aid to tiie undertaking, and enabled her to carry out 
her benevolent design. 
The object of the Orphans' Home, is to affi>rd to the friend- 
less little ones, the blessings and comforts of a real Home, and 
no mother need feel any backwardness in confiding her children 
to its care. Proper attention will be directed to the physical, 
intellectual and moral development of the children, so that when 
the proper time arrives for their re-entering the ao|ive world, 
they will be qualified to fulfil the duties of useM citizens and 
reflect honor upon the State that adof^^ed them. 
On the 81st of March, 1866, Oovemor Fairchild approved a 
bill providing for the establishment of a " Soldiers' Orphans' 
Home." We append a synopsis of the law for the information 
of our readers : 
8BCTIOH 1. ErtabliflbeB an InaUtatkni to be styled " Hie BoUUen' Orphaiie' Home.**

In addition to the above, the Legislature appropriated the sum 
of $25,000 for the support of the institution for the coming year. 
Under this law. Governor Faircbild has appointed the following 
persons as trustees : 
^sr ihree yeorf— OoUmel B. H. Sraoiro, Beedsburg; Colonel Hsbtbt HAMtmmxf, 
Jeflteson; General a CL W.AaBBUBir, La C ross e .

16 BOLBIEES' orphans' HOMB. 
The Board of Trustees met at Madison on the 18th of April, 
and Hon. N. M. Littlejohn was elected President, and Colonel 
R. M, Strong appointed Secretary, The Board were in session 
several days, appointing Mrs. Harvey Superintendent of the In- 
stitution for the ensuing year, and passed such hy-laws, rules and 
regulations as were necessary for the full estahlishment of the 
"Home." 
It will be seen that the law establishes the manner in which 
orphans are to be admitted into the ^^Home/' through the 
County Boards of Supervisors of each county, and persons who 
may have orphans in charge, will know how to proceed in 
securing the benefite of the " Home "for their wards. 
The author has visited the Home, where he found about eighty 
children of both sexes, varying from four to fourteen years of 
age, all in good health, and apparently happy in their new 
" Home." They are weU cared for, with plenty of good whole- 
some food, and everything to make them comfortable, without 
any appearance of being subjects of public charity. In case of 
sickness, every care and the best of medical attention is g^ven.
