THIRTY-SIXTH AND THIRTY-SEVENTH WISCONSIN REGIMENTS.

The 36th regiment-Frank A. Haskell, colo- nel-was organized at Camp Randall and mus- tered into the service on the 10th of May, 1864. They reached Washington four days after, and then proceeded down the Potomac to Belle Plaine Landing, and from there proceeded to Spottsylvania by way of Fredericksburg. On the 18th they acted as a reserve in the engage- ment of that day, and on the 19th joined in the 1st brigade and second division. On the 20th they accompanied Gen. Hancock in his march to North Anna, crossing the Matapony and North Anna. On the 23d they were assigned to the support of a battery. They crossed the stream, and threw up a line of works. Accompanying the movement across the Pamunkey, on May 30, they. found the rebels drawn up in line of battle near Totspotomy Creek. At the bat- tle at that place, the 36th suffered severely. During the night, the regiment marched to Cold Harbor ; and, on the morning of the 3d, the whole line marched on the enemy's position by brigades, when the regiment again lost se- verely, and Col. Haskell was killed.

The regiment reached Petersburg on the 15th of June, 1864, and were in the general charge on the enemy's works, where they formed in line of battle and fought nobly. On the 24th, the regiment marched to the enemy's position at Hatcher's Run, and, in the engagement which took place captured a large number of prisoners. They afterward participated in the movement be- fore Petersburg. They joined in the pursuit of Lee, and were present on the 9th of April, 1865, at the surrender of the entire army of that general. The regiment was mustered out on the 12th of July following. They arrived at Madison on the 14th, where they were paid and finally discharged.

The 37th regiment was organized in March, 1864, with only six companies mustered in. They reported at Washington May 1. On the evening of the 12th of June they took part in

the general movement of Grant's army across the James river to Petersburg. They took an active part in two engagements, one on the 17th and one on the 18th of that month. They re- mained in the vicinity actively engaged until the spring campaign (1865) opened.

They, with the Ist brigade, on the 2d of April, marched and formed in front of Fort Sedgwick, from which place they moved for Fort Mahone, one of the enemy's strongest po- sitions, driving them out on the other side, and turning the guns of the fort upon them. Re- maining in the neighborhood of Petersburg until the 20th of April, they then started for Washington, where they arrived on the 26th. They reached Madison on the 31st of July, and in August were paid off and disbanded.

THIRTY-EIGHTII WISCONSIN REGIMENT.

The 38th regiment began to organize March, 1864, under the supervision of Col. James Bintliff. Before the regiment could be filled, the government discontinued the payment of bounties, when recruiting fell off, and almost entirely ceased. In consequence of this, only four companies could be organized, which, hav- ing been mustered into service, left Camp Randall, Madison, on the 3d of May, 1864, for Washington. Another company was sent for-

ward in July, and other companies in Septem- ber. Col. Bintliff took command on their ar- rival before Petersburg, on the 1st of October, thus completing the regiment. On their ar- rival at Washington, they encamped on Arling- ton IIeights. On the 30th they marched to Alexandria, and embarked for White House, at that time the base of supplies of Gen. Grant's army. On their arrival, they were temporarily consolidated with the 1st Minne- sota, and assigned to the provisional brigade of Gen. Abercrombie, and were engaged in es- corting supply trains to Cold Harbor. On the 12th they moved to the front line of the works; in the evening commenced Gen. Grant's grand flank movement to the rear of Richmond, ar- riving on the 16th of June, in front of Peters- burg, and moving out under fire to the battle- field. They took an active part in the engage- ment on the 17th and 18th, in which the regi- ment had fifteen killed and thirty-five wounded.

They remained in the front lines till the 4th of July, fighting by day and working by night. On that day they returned to the second lines, the battalion being reduced to forty men fit for duty. Here they encamped until the 19th, when they moved to the front, and assisted in re- pulsing an attack of the enemy. On the 30th of July, when the order was given to advance, after the explosion of the mine, the regiment which was selected to lead the charge faltered. Gen. Hartruft ordered the 38th, scarcely numbering 100, to take the lead. Here they had nine killed, and ten wounded. Subsequently, the battalion was relieved from the front lines, and encamped behind the second line, where it remained until August 6, when they returned to the first line, and were engaged in siege and picket duty until August 19, when they moved towards the Weldon Railroad, and took part with the fifth corps to obtain possession of the medium of supplies to the enemy. In the engagements that followed, the enemy were driven back, and, in the attempt to regain pos- session of their works, were repulsed with

great slaughter. The battalion proceeded to Reams Station, to re-enforce the second corps, and on the 26th fell back to near Yellow Tavern, where they were engaged in ordinary duties until September 26, when they moved toward Poplar Springs Church. In the engagement at that place, they took part, and also near Hatcher's Run. In the latter part of November, they moved opposite to Petersburg, and remained in their rifle-pits, under the heavy fire of the enemy, until the spring campaign opened.

The regiment was in the rifle pits before Richmond in the month of January, 1865. In the assault on Fort Mahone, or "Fort Damna- tion" as it was nicknamed, they had eight com- panies engaged. The fort was taken, but the regiment suffered severely. The regiment went in pursuit of the rebel army, capturing many prisoners. On the 6th of June a part of the regiment (one year men) was mustered out, and returned to Wisconsin. The remainder was on duty at the arsenal during the trial and exe- cution of the assassination conspirators. They were mustered ont on the 26th of July; and were paid off at Madison and discharged, Aug. 11, 1865.
