| 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). Because the entire work is so unwieldy and most users want to consult only a single chapter, we have divided it into smaller portions covering discrete topics.
