THREE WISCONSIN CUSHINGS
Alonzo Hersford Cushing
Record—^Wisconsin and New York. Cadet at Mili¬ tary Academy, July 1, 1857 (12); second lieutenant and first lieutenant of the 4th artillery, June 24, 18,61; brevet captain, December 13, 1862, for gallant and meritorious service at the battle of Fredericksburg, Va.; major. May 2, 1862, for gallant and meritorious service at the Battle of Chancellorsville, Va.; and lieutenant colonel, July 1, 1863, for conspicuous gallantry at the Battle of Gettys¬ burg, Pa., where he was killed July 3, 1863.
Appreciation—"On the field of Gettysburg, more than once I stood where the brave Cushing gave up his life, right at the peak of Pickett's daring charge. Oh that day and that hour! History will not let that smiling, splendid boy die in vain; her dew will glisten forever over his record as the earthly morning dew glistens in the fields. Fame loves the gentleman and the true-hearted, but her sweetheart is gallant youth."—MoRRIS SCHAFF, "Spirit of Old West Point," in Atlantic Monthly, February, 1907.

| Description | Theron W. Haight (1840-1913) was a newspaperman, attorney and author in Waukesha and Milwaukee, and fought in the 24th New York Infantry during the war. In 1910 he published Three Wisconsin Cushings, one of a series of books issued for the 50th anniversary of the Civil War. It tells the story of three brothers, Lt. Howard B. Cushing (1838-1871), Lt. Alonzo Hersford Cushing (1841-1863), and Lt. William Barker Cushing (1842-1872) from Waukesha. After reviewing the family history in New England, it focuses on their military service in substantial detail. Alonzo Cushing died at Gettysburg and received the Congressional Medal of Honor on May 20, 2010, for his bravery. |
