The regiment arrived at Washington on the 7th of Angust. and was immediately assigned to King's brigade and went into eamp on Meri- dian Hill, where it remained until the 3d of September, when it marched with the brigade to Chain bridge, and was employed in picket and guard duty at Camp Lyon, until it was join- ed by the 2d Wisconsin the 9th Indiana and the 7th Wisconsin, about the Ist of October. These, afterwards, formed the famous "Iron Brigade."

Early in the war Gen. Rufus King, a grad- uate of West Point, tendered his services to the government and was appointed brigadier gen- eral, with authority to form a brigade composed of regiments from Wisconsin. In this he only partially succeeded, as the 5th Wisconsin was transferred to another brigade. He, however, succeeded in permanently attaching the 2d, 6th and 7th to the brigade; these, with the 9th Indiana, afterwards received the name of the "Iron Brigade," in the history of which is merged that of the 6th Wisconsin.

The brigade assigned to McDowell's division remained in eamp at Fort Tillinghast until March 10, 1862, when they took part in the advance on Manassas, Col. Cutler, of the 6th

Wisconsin, being in command of the brigade. The month of July found them at Falmouth, opposite Fredericksburg. The brigade after- ward took part in the celebrated retreat of Gen. Pope.

On the 28th of August, 1832, the battle of Gainesville was fought. This was one of the bloodiest battles of the war, and was fought by the "Iron Brigade" alone, it only receiving aid after the heaviest of the fighting was over. On the 29th of August the brigade was present on the battle field of Bull Run, engaged as sup- port to a battery, and took part in the battle of the 30th and in the retreat which followed.

The "Iron Brigade" took part in the battle of South Mountain, Sept. 14, 1862. In the early part of the battle of Antietam (which contest was participated in, among others by the "Iron Brigade"), a shell fell into the ranks of the 6th regiment, killing or wounding thirteen men and officers.

General Hooker was placed in command of the Army of the Potomac, and the campaign of 1863 was begun on the 28th of April. The "Iron Brigade" proceeded on that day to Fitz- hugh's crossing below Fredericksburg, and was attached to the first division of the first army corps. A fight occured the next day at the crossing, but the 6th Wisconsin, followed by the 24th Michigan, crossed over in face of the enemy and carried their works.

The "Iron Brigade" was in the battle of Get- tysburg. But it was in the battle of the Wilder- ness that the 6th regiment suffered more than in any other of the war.

The severity of the service engaged in by the 6th Wisconsin from this time until it was mus- tered out, can be judged of by the lists of the killed and wounded at different periods.

The 6th regiment was mustered out on the 14th of July, 1865, and arrived at Madison on the 16th of that month, and were publicly re- ceived, paid and the regiment disbanded.

COMPANY F, STH WISCONSIN REGIMENT.

No company going to the war was made up entirely of Crawford county men. Some, how- ever, besides company C of the 6th Wisconsin regiment, were so largely from the county as to entitle them to be called Crawford county com panies. We give these in the order of their regiments: Company F, 8th Wisconsin regi- ment; companies A, D and K, 31st Wisconsin; and company A, 43d regiment. Besides these, there were a number of men from the county in the 2d Wisconsin cavalry and in the 7th Wisconsin battery. The following is the

This company, as we have seen, was made a part of the 8th Wisconsin regiment.

The 8th regiment was called into camp from the Ist to the 16th of September, 1861, and placed under the command of Col. Robert C. Murphy, of St. Croix Falls. The other field and staff officers were, George W. Robinson, lieutenant-colonel ; J. W. Jefferson, major ; Ezra T. Sprague, adjutant ; F. L. Billings, quarter-master ; S. P. Thornhill, surgeon ; W. Hobbins and J. S. Murta, assistants ; and W. MeKinley, chaplain. The companies were from the counties of Waupaca, Sheboygan, Eau Claire, Crawford, La Crosse, Racine and from Fox Lake, Fitchburg, JJanesville and Belleville. The numerical strength of the regiment when it left Camp Randall was 966 men, and it was mustered into service by companies, by Maj. Brooks.

After being fully equipped (with the excep- tion of arms), on the 30th of September, Col. Murphy received notice that he had been as- signed, with his command, to Major-Gen. Fre-

mont's division. On the Ist of October, orders were received to move forward to St. Louis, at which place they arrived October 13. The fine appearance of the regiment elicited universal praise. It was received at St. Louis by the Hon. S. Cameron, Secretary of War, and Adju- tant-Gen. L. Thomas, who paid it a high com- pliment. This was the first regiment that had passed in that direction from the State. The next day after their arrival, an order came for them to move forward to Pilot Knob with the certainty of meeting the enemy. They went forward, and on the 21st took part in the battle of Frederickstown. The regiment was held as a reserve.

The 8th regiment, from the time of their de- parture from the State, up to the middle of January, with the exception of the skirmish at Frederickstown, in the autumn of 1861, was prin- cipally engaged in guarding railroad bridges and other general duties in the southern portion of Missouri and in Arkansas. On the 16th of January they left Camp Curtis, arriving at Cairo the next day. From Cairo they were ordered to Point Pleasant, Mo., to participate in the attack on Island No. 10, whence they marched, on the 7th of April, to New Madrid.

Shortly after the reduction of this island, they were ordered to Corinth, and arrived at Pittsburg Landing on the 22d of April, when they at once took their place in the army destined for the reduction of Corinth. On the 9th of May, at the battle of Farmington, the Sth regiment, under the command of Lieut .- Col. Robbins, lost in killed, three (of whom two were commissioned officers ), and sixteen wounded, and one missing. On the 28th of May, leaving Farmington, the regiment, under the command of Lient .- Col. Robbins-Col. Mur- phy being in charge of the brigade-went into action before Corinth, and, by their steady courage and demeanor, demonstrated their bravery under a heavy fire, losing, in this action, two killed and five wounded. This was the last effort of the rebels to defend the city,

which was entered by our troops two days after- wards.

Subsequently they were ordered to Iuka, where they remained until the approach of the rebels under Price and Van Dorn, when they were again ordered to Corinth, and took part in the second battle of Corinth, on the 3d and 4th of October. During this battle, while Col. Murphy was absent, Lient .- Col. Robbins and Maj. Jefferson were wounded, and carried from the field ; and the command of the regiment devolved upon Capt. Britton, who nobly con- ducted the action. Their loss in this battle was fourteen killed, seventy-five wounded, and two missing. After joining in the pursuit of the rebels which followed this battle, they returned to Corinth on the 14th of October, after which time they were stationed in the vicinity of Waterford, Miss.

The Sth nobly carned the encomiums be- stowed upon it. Its record is such that Wis- consin may well feel proud of the "Eagle" regi- . ment.

On the 8th of December, the regiment was at Waterford, Miss., in the left wing of the Army of the Tennessee, under the command of Maj .- Gen. U. S. Grant.

The 8th regiment, in January, 1863, moved from La Grange, by way of Corinth, to Ger- mantown, Tenn., where they were employed in. building fortifications, and guard duty, until March 11, when they marched to Memphis, and joined the forces intended by Gen. Grant to operate against Vicksburg, which were being concentrated near Helena. Lieut. Col. Robbins was commissioned as colonel in the place of Col. Murphy dismissed. The regiment with others attacked the enemy, and, on the 14th of May, took posession of Jackson, the capital of Mississppi. They then proceeded to Walnut Hills, forming the extreme right of the invest- ing force around Vicksburg. Here they took a part in the assault on the enemy's works. The regiment participated in many skirmishes with some loss, and on the 26th of September

moved to Black river bridge, and went into camp, and remained until Oct. 13. The 8th regiment, on the 27th of January, 1864, proceeded to Vicksburg, by way of Mem- phis, and encamped near Black river bridge on the 3d of February. They took part in Sher- man's famous Meridian expedition, marching as far as Canton, Miss., and returning to Black river bridge, thence to Vicksburg, on the 5th of March. Here the regiment consented to remain and take part in Gen. Smith's projected expedition up the river to co-operate with Gen. Banks. The regiment expected to be sent home on veteran furlough, but remained at the especial request of Gen. Sherman. Leaving Vicksburg March 10, they passed down the Mississippi and up the Red River, to Simms- port, and landed. The brigade advanced and charged upon the rebels at Fort Seurvy, captur- ing several prisoners, and some military stores. Continuing up the river, they attacked and cap- tured Fort de Russy, after a short resistance. llere they were joined by the fleet, when they proceeded to Alexandria, and thence to llen- derson Hill, where they found the rebels posted with.artillery. A detour of fifteen miles was made in order to attack the enemy on the rear. About midnight, Gen. Mower succeeded in capturing the whole rebel force (three hundred and fifty strong), with four guns and 400 horses, and other munitions of war, After a num- ber of marches with Gen. Smith's army and a part of Gen. Banks's force, they received the attack of the enemy, and, after four hours hard fighting, drove him from the field. Our forces subsequently retreated to Grand Encore, and thence to Alexandrai.

The 8th participated in an action at Natchi- toches, and also at Cloutierville, where the rebels were driven back in confusion. On the 4th of May, the 8th were deployed as skirmish- ers, and drove the enemy ten miles. At Bayou La Moore, the enemy annoyed them by contin- nous artillery and musketry fire. They also took part in an action at Mansura, and also

503

Calhan's Plantation, and Bayou De Glaize; after which Gen. Smith's army returned to the mouth of Red River, and, embarking, reached Vicksburg on the 24th, and went into camp. The rebels having attempted to blockade the Mississippi at Columbia, Ark., on the 6th of June, Gen. Smith sent forward a divis- ion of 1,500 infantry, and a battery in charge of Gen. Mower. The enemy were found, and an engagement ensued. The enemy were driven from their position, and pursued several miles. In this action, known as the "Battle of Chicot," the regiment had three killed, and sixteen wounded. The command proceeded up the river to Memphis, and went into camp. Here the veterans were allowed to proceed to Wisconsin on thirty days' furlough. The remainder of the regiment moved to La Grange, and in July took part in the expedition into Mississippi, and participated in the en- gagements near Tupelo. They returned to Memphis after a march of 260 miles. Here they were joined by the regiment from veteran furlough. Subsequently the 8th marched from Memphis to Mississippi with the forces of Gen. A. J. Smith. On the 2d of September, they proceeded to White River and to Duvall's Bluff, thence to Brownsville, in pursuit of Gen. Price, and reached Cape Girardeau, Oct. 1. On the 5th, they left for St. Louis, where the reg- iment was newly clothed and equipped. Re- embarking on transports, they reached Jeffer- son City, and thence to Lamoine Bridge. From this place, they were assigned on the expeditionary army against Gen. Price through Kansas. Learning of the defeat and dispersion of P'rice's forces, they returned, reaching Ben- ton Barracks November, 15. On the 23d of November, they proceeded to Nashville to re-enforce Gen. Thomas, and took part in the battle on the 15th and 16th of December. In this action, the regiment captured a six-gun battery, about 400 prisoners, and two stands of colors. Their losses were, ten, killed; fifty-two, wounded. The regiment joined in the persuit,

marching 150 miles, and finally encamped at Clifton, Tenn., on the 22d of January, 1865.

The 8th regiment joined the pursuit of the enemy after the battle of Nashville, marched 150 miles, and encamped at Clifton, Tenn. On the 2d of January, 1865, they moved to East- port. Embarking on the 6th of February, they proceeded, with the 16th corps, down the Ten- nessee to Cairo, and thence to New Orleans, and went into camp five miles below that eity. On the 5th of March they moved in transports to take part in the investment of the defences of Mobile, landing at Dauphin Island, and from thence proceeded up Fish river, ten miles, and went into camp. On the 25th they moved, and took position in the lines before the Spanish fort. Here they were engaged in fortifying, and the performance of picket-duty, until the evacua- tion of the fort, on the 9th of April, when they moved to a position before Fort Blakely, and took part in the charge on that place with a small loss. After the surrender, the regiment marched 180 miles to Montgomery, Ala., where they remained until the 10th of May, when they marched by way of Selma, and took cars for Uniontown, on the Alabama & Mississippi railroad. Here they went into camp, and re- mained until orders were received for their muster out. This was done at Demopolis, Ala., on the 5th of September, and the regiment reached Madison on the 13th, where they re- ceived their pay, and were formally disbanded.

The 8th was known as the "Eagle Regiment," from the fact that a live eagle was carried through all its campaigns, up to the return of the non-veterans in 1864. This bird was taken from the parent nest in Chippewa Co., Wis., by an Indian, who disposed of it to a gentleman in Eau Claire county, from whom it was pur- chased by members of Capt. Perkin's company, Eau Claire Eagles, by whom it was presented to the regiment while organizing in 1861. It is needless to say that it was instantly adopted as the regimental pet, and was christened "Old Abe." A perch was prepared and the royal

504

HISTORY OF CRAWFORD COUNTY.

bird was borne with the regiment on all its marches, and into every battle in which the gallant 8th was engaged, up to the muster-ont of the non-veterans. Perched on his standard, above the heads of the men, the bird was more than once the mark for rebel bullets, but, Inek- ily, escaped unharmed, with the exception of the loss of a few feathers shot away. He re- turned with the non-veterans in 1864, and was presented to the State, and placed in charge of the quarter-master's department, and every care necessary bestowed on him. At the great Chi- cago fair in 1863, "Old Abe" was exhibited, and his photographs disposed of, realizing the amount of about $16,000. He was also exhib- ited at the Milwaukee fair with profitable re- sults. We are told that the sum netted to these charitable objects was about $20,000. Ile oc- casionally breaks from his fetters, and soars into his native element; but he has become so far domesticated, that he is easily recovered. Occasionally the music of a band, or the noise of a drum, will reach his ear, when he will in- stantly listen, and will respond with bis charac- teristic scream, probably recognizing the strain as one with which the battle-field has made his ear familiar. "Old Abe" has become celebrated in our military annals; and his history is inex- tricably interwoven with that of the brave and gallant regiment who bore him triumphantly through the field of strife.

Reference has been made to the 8th Wisconsin as the "Eagle Regiment." Some ac- count of this "eagle," from whom the regiment derived its name, will prove interesting.

""'Ok Abe' was captured in the spring of 1861, in Chippewa Co. Wis., by an Indian, by the mime of A-ge-mah-me-ge-zhig, of the Lake Flambeau tribe of the Chippewa Indians. The Indian sold the eagle to Mr. D. McCann, for a bushel of corn. Mr. McCann concluded that his eagle should go to the wars. Tle took him to Chippewa Falls, and from thence to Ean Claire. The eagle being then abont two months old, he sold it for $2.50 to

company C, 8th Wisconsin regiment. The eagle was soon sworn into service by putting around his neck red-white-and-blue ribbons, and on his breast a rosette of the same colors. The company, commanded by Capt. J. E. Perkins, and James McGennis, the eagle-bearer, left for Madison on the 6th of September, 1861. They arrived at La Crosse in the evening of the next day. The fact that a company was coming with a live eagle brought a great crowd to the wharf. A salute from the Ist Wisconsin Bat- tery was fired, followed by cheers from the .crowd and soldiers, 'The eagle, the eagle! hur- ralı for the eagle "' Arriving at Madison on the 8th of September, the company marched di- rect to Camp Randall, the band playing Yan- kee Doodle, amidst great shouting from the 7th regiment and part of the 8th. The company en- tered the gate; and the eagle, as if by instinct, spread his wings, took hold of one of the small flags attached to his perch, in his beak, and carried it in that position to the colonel's quarters. The excitement knew no bounds; shout after shout was heard from the crowd. Deep and strong was the conviction that the eagle had a charmed life.

"In camp he was visited by thousands, among them the highest dignitaries of civil and mili- tary life. Capt. Perkins named him 'Old Abe,' in honor of Abraham Lincoln. By a vote of the company, the Eau Claire Badgers, its origi- nal name was changed to Eau Claire Eagles; and, by general expression of the people, the 8th Wisconsin was called the 'Eagle Regiment.'

"On the 12th of October, 1861, the regiment left Camp Randall. At Chicago, St. Louis, and in fact everywhere, 'Old Abe' attracted great attention. $500 were at one time offered for him, and at another, a farm worth $5,000 but, of course, in vain. His feathers are scattered all over the Union, so great the demand for them. 'Old Abe' was seen in all his glory, when the regiment was engaged in battle. At such times, he was .always found in his place at the head of company C. In the midst of the

505

HISTORY OF CRAWFORD COUNTY.

roaring of eannon, the crack of the musket, and the roll of smoke, 'Old Abe' with spread pinions, would jump up and down on his perch, uttering wild and fearful rereams. The fiercer and louder the storm of battle, the fiercer, wil- der, and louder the screams. 'Old Abe' was with the command in nearly every action, about twenty-two battles and sixty skirmishes. It is a remarkable fact that not a color or eagle bearer of the 8th was shot down. The veterans were mastered out of United States service, at Mem- phis, Sept 16, 1864. It was there decided that 'Old Abe' should be given to the State of Wis- consin. They arrived in Madison on the 22d; and on the 26th, 'Old Abe' was received by the Governor from Capt. Wolf." "Old Abe" has paid the debt of nature, and now reposes as an object of curiosity, in a glass case, on an ele- gant pedestal, in the rotunda of the State house, in Madison, Wisconsin.

Three Crawford companies (A, D, and K), were, as before mentioned, made a part of

THE THIRTY-FIRST WISCONSIN REGIMENT.

This regiment (Col. Isaac E. Messmore) was left, in 1862, by the order of the war department prohibiting recruiting, with less than the min- imam Six companies from Iowa, Lafayette, and Crawford counties, were ordered into camp at Prairie du Chien; and special permission, before alluded to, was obtained to continue re- cruiting for this regiment. At the close of the year, it was much above the minimum strength, and of good material. On the 14th of Novem- ber, it was removed from Prairie du Chien, in charge of the camp of rendezvous for drafted men at Racine, where it remained, awaiting orders to join the army in the field.

The regiment left the State for service in the field on the Ist of March, 1863, under orders to report at Columbus, Ky. Proceeding by way of Cairo, Ill., they arrived at Columbus on the 3d, and went into camp at Fort Halleek. Ifere the regiment was stationed, and was engaged in the performance of garrison duty, until Sept. 24, when it left Columbus, with orders to report

at Louisville, Ky., which place it reached on the 27th. On the 5th of October, it marched to La Vergne, Tenn., and guarded the road until the 25th, when it marched to Murfreesboro. Three companies were detached and stationed at a point where the railroad passed Stone river. llere they threw up fortifications, and guarded this important bridge during the winter.

Three companies of the 31st regiment were engaged in the winter of 1863-61 guarding the bridge at Stone river. On the 2d of April, they rejoined the regiment at Murfreesboro, and were engaged during the month along the road between that place and Normandy, Tenn,, doing outpost-duty. On the 6th of July, they were ordered to Nashville, and on their arrival had quarters assigned them west of the Naslı- ville & Chattanooga railroad. From Nash- ville, they proceeded by rail for Marietta, Ga., which they reached on the 19th. While on the road, near Kingston, one of the trains ran off the track, wounding two officers, killing one man, and severely wounding ten others. On the 22d of July, the regiment moved with the army upon Atlanta, and were placed in the front line ; and here they lay under fire until Aug. 25, when they took part in the movement of the corps. They then returned to the railroad bridge across the Chattahoochee, while the rest of the army swung around to Jonesboro.
