He moved to Milwaukee in 1858 and during the war collected a large number of letters, questionnaires and other papers on which he based this 1866 book, Wisconsin in the War of the Rebellion. The book totals more than 1,100 pages and has been artificially divided in half here to facilitate online use. It is rather haphazardly arranged, and users will benefit from searching by keyword. |
