On the 5th we erossed the great Pedee river, passed through Bennettsville, and on the 8th entered North Carolina. On the 11th passed through Fayetteville, and again encountered the enemy at Cape Fear river. On the 15th we passed through Bloekersville, where we again engaged the enemy and routed them; proceeded by way of Clinton and Dudley, to a point on the Goldsboro & Fayetteville road, where the 25th was detached from its brigade and ordered to the support of Gen. Tillson's brigade. We moved to the left five miles, and joined Tillson's brigade, and participated in the last battle of Sherman's army at Bentonville, North Carolina. From Bentonville we moved to Goldsboro, reaching that point on the 23d, and going into eamp. This closed a campaign of fifty- two days tlirough the Carolinas. On this campaign we only drew rations of coffee, sugar and salt. Fifteen days' rations of hardtaek were issued to the various commands when they started. The re- mainder of the time we had to do the best we could. It was a feast or a famine. On the 10th of April we again started after Jo. Johnson, reaching Raleigh on the 14th. Here we received infor- mation that the rebel army had surrendered. We remained here till the 25th, when the news reached us that President Johnson had refused to ratify the terms of the surrender, and we were or- dered the next day to move on the enemy, which we did, but soon received word that they had surrendered uneonditionally, a result which elosed the war of the rebellion.
"On the 1st of May we started on our homeward mareh, pas- sing through Richmond. At Fredericksburg, Gen. Sherman re- viewed us. We reached Alexandria on the 23d and went into eamp near the Potomac river.
"On the 24th of May we erossed the Potomae into Washington and participated in the grand review. On the same day we went into eamp at Crystal Springs, four miles from the National Capital,

where we remained till the 7th of June, when we received our final muster out, and started for liome, arriving at Madison, June 11, 1865, twenty-two years ago, having marched over seven thousand miles and done service in fifteen different states. The regiment's loss was: killed and died of wounds, fifty-seven; died of disease, four hundred and fourteen: a total of four hundred and seventy-one, which is the largest death roll of any regiment that left the state. This closes a brief but necessarily imperfect sketch of the serviee of the 25th Regiment. In every trying position in which it was placed, it did its duty. It was composed of patriotic men who cheerfully took up the burdens and dangers of war that the Union might be preserved. Their patriotism and valor are a part of the history of the war. I have no greater pride than to be . able to say that I was a member of that regiment. Twenty-two years ago we abandoned our guns and knapsaeks and returned to our homes. Today, for the first time in twenty-two years, many of us meet and renew our friendship eemented by a three years' brotherhood in a glorious cause. I need not tell you, my coni- rades, how glad I am to greet you all to-day."

HISTORY OF THE 48TH REGIMENT.
The regiment was organized at Camp Washburn, Milwaukee, during February and Maach 1865, left on the 22d of March for Benton Barracks, St. Louis, Mo. From this place they were or- dered to Paola, Ks. The eight companies forming the regiment were stationed at different points and were joined by companies I and K at Fort Scott, Ks., April 28th. The regiment was scat- tered in companies in that neighborhood, doing some fighting with guerillas and general service work, thence they were ordered to Lawrence, Ks., in August, and expected to be mustered out, as the war was over, but they were ordered to western frontier posts, company K to Fort Lyons, Colorado, then a territory. Their du- ties were escorting mail and government trains, as protection against roving bands of Indians, garrison and fatigue duty. In December 1865 the mustering out of the regiment was com- menced by ordering the nearest companies to march towards Leavenworth and Company K and C were, the last, mustered out March 28th, at Madison.

HISTORY.
The 50th regiment was organized a few days before the ter- mination of active war. They were consequently detached for service in the western frontier forts, where they remained until their discharge which took place in June 1866.
CONCLUSION.
The list of "Soldiers Furnished by Buffalo County," must close here. I have in the introduction called attention to the means, and the want of them, for compiling such a list reliably, and have but to say that I made the best use I could of existing opportu- nities. I have now to remark, that all these soldiers were, of course, early settlers of the county, and if the names of some of them do not appear on the list of "Early Settlers," while some do, it must not be attributed to any neglect or partiality on my part, but to favorable opportunity of learning particulars, which did not exist for all, but it will appear, that they received in this book. their rightful place and title as "Defenders of their Country," which in my estimation is equivalent to the highest honor any history or historian can bestow.
A renewed and protracted revision of the Census List of "Soldiers of Late War" has led to the following additions to the "List of Soldiers now residing in, but not furnished by Buffalo County :"
Mengelt, Geo., Private, Comp. G, 9th Wisconsin; Sanford, E. C., Private, 9th Battery Wisconsin Light Artillery; Schachner, Frank, Private, Comp. K, 2d Illinois Artillery; Schwedes, Chris- toplier, Sergeant, Comp. C, 2d Virginia Mounted Infantry; Sever- son, S. T., Comp. K, 3d Wisconsin; Spring, J. B., Comp. B, United States Regulars; Short, Peter, Comp. E, 17th Wisconsin.

LIST OF EARLY SETTLERS.
LIST OF EARLY SETTLERS.
There is a chapter on Early Settlers and Pioneers, in which reminiscences are given of the early times of this county, when it was quite young and just began to try standing on its own legs. In that chapter biographies of some of the pioneers were given,. but this practice can not be extended to every one, nor can the enumeration of early settlers be indefinitely extended down to the present time. As the limit must be drawn somewhere, I set it down at the year 1865, which is about 25 years after the first known settlement, and 11 years after the actual organization of the county. It may be permissible to say something about the diffi- culties encountered in collecting the names and a few particulars with each, and the methods employed in this collection. Not a few of the older settlers have died, some without leaving families or relations, others have moved away to unknown places, and although they are not really forgotten, it is often impossible to learn anything of their birthplace, their precise time of settlement, their occupation or their present residence. It would at the first first glance appear very easy to collect the names and desirable particulars of those who are alive and still residing here, but in fact this was a difficult and often a provoking enterprise. It was impossible for me or any one person, to make personal calls upon everybody, and in these times of universal education it might reasonably be supposed that a blank with the necessary sugges- tions would in most cases be filled out and returned, especially as the purpose of this blank had been explained in English and in German in the papers published in the county. Accordingly such. blanks were sent out, sometimes with the request of depositing them at some store or office where their recipients would be sure to call. This plan did but seldom work well, and other expedients had to be thought of. Some friends were requested to lend their assistance and I am under obligations to the following gentlemen in this matter:
558
LIST OF EARLY SETTLERS.
Leonhard Fried, Gottlieb Bohri and Louis G. Barth of the Town of Cross, Martin Schulte of Buffalo, Geo. Schuster of Foun- tain City, Mayor Nic. Weinandy of Buffalo City, Mr. Geo. Harper of Waumandee, Christ. Kindschi of Montana, Allen H. De Groff and Erich Alme of Misha Mokwa; also to Geo. E. Gilke of Gil- manton, to Mrs. Claflin of the same town, and to W. W. Wyman, and Elder B. F. Morse of Mondovi.
Of course, I had a good opportunity for collecting material of this kind myself at Alma, and was assisted by an extensive personal acquaintance, and by the frequent visits of people from all parts of the county to the capital of it.
As above indicated, this list is not intended as a biographical sketch of each person entered in it, but as a record of those who happened to make their home in this county during the period of its incipiency and development, whether they are here yet, or have departed. There was in the blanks a call for "Other Re- marks," which have sometimes been made and oftener omitted. As the list must for obvious reasons assume a tabulary form, there will be a close uniformity in regard to the entries made in it. Re- marks of some particular importance will be brought in an ap- pendix, connected with the names of the persons having made such remarks.
For convenience and perspicuity I have divided the subject into four classes:
1. From 1839 to 1855 inclusive. 2. 1856 “ 1860 do. 3. 1861 " 1865 do. 4. After 1865, which contains names accidentally reported beyond the limit above mentioned.
With regard to the table itself it will be noticed that some abbreviations have been used, especially as to the name of coun- tries that figure in the column of birthplaces. These abbrevia- tions are frequently not omissions of letters, but of words, for ins- tance instead of "Grand Duchy of Baden" I shall say "Baden," instead of Kingdom of Prussia, Bavaria, Wuertemberg etc., only the name of the country will appear. With regard to Switzerland I prefer to give the name of the canton, abbreviated Cnt., with its name. The birthplace of Americans, if known, will be given by the name of the state, otherwise by United States. With regard
559
LIST OF EARLY SETTLERS.
to Germany I similarly prefer to give the name of the separate country or state, without its title, because the tittle is not used in common conversation for the country, but regularly for the mon- arch. The town, city or village, if reported, is inserted in the col- umn, if not too long, but as it is the least interesting for the general reader, the omission will be pardoned. The same applies to the omission of the subdivisions of a country or state. The list of each of the above specified classes will be followed by an " Ap- pendix "of particular remarks made by settlers, who have reported, and whose names appear in the class preceding the appendix.
