| Description | This is an excerpt from E.B. Quiner's thousand-page volume, The Military History of Wisconsin: a record of the civil and military patriotism of the state, in the war for the union, with a history of the campaigns in which Wisconsin soldiers have been conspicuous, regimental histories, sketches of distinguished officers, the roll of the illustrious dead, movements of the Legislature and state officers, etc. (Chicago: Clarke & co., 1866).

The entire work is online at Google Books (http://books.google.com/) and the Internet Archive (www.archive.org) in the most popular ereader formats. |
