We will state that at the dedication of our monu-
68
ment and previous locating the rebel commissions conceded the correctness of the positions assumed, Maj. Colburn, E. M. Kanouse and Esau Beaumont were present on said occasion and corroborate said statements.
The battle flags of all Wisconsin organizations but ours, are displayed in the Historical Rooms at Madison. The explanations of its absence has been very frequently asked for. We will present for the interested, the communication of Comrade and Dr. T. D. Kanouse regarding the matter:
Glendale, Cal., Aug. 26. 1901. Esau Beaumont Esq., Merton, Wis.
My Dear Comrade: It would be my greatest pleasure to be with the 3d Battery boys the 18th, 19th and 20th of Sept. next, and nothing but the great dis- tance and large expense hinders me. I am abundant- ly able (physically ) to travel, and my heart yearus to go. Please answer "aye" for me at roll call and make my fraternal regards to all the comrades.
Anent the guidon: In the battle of Chickamauga, Billy VanTyne was sick. I got leave from the Q. M. to go to the battery for the battle. The captain gave me the guidon to carry when marching. After the skirmish of 13th Sept., during which I carried it; it was placed on a baggage wagon. After the battle of 19th and 20th. I was too sick to tell a guidon from a ramrod: was sent back to die,-didn't die, but was sent to battery again, norsaw the guidon afterwards. -T. D. Kanouse.
We have now learned that while the debris of the battery were across the Tennessee at Chattanooga,
69
the starving mules that were hitched to a battery wagon eat up everything they could reach, and the colors of the battery proving a delicate morsel for the famishing creatures came to an inglorious end then, and there.
While we lay at Murfreesboro we received a news- paper denying the charge that England was supply- ing the rebels with munitions of war, asserting that the Christian sentiment of England would not allow it. Well we found on the battlefield of Stone River abundant evidence of the controversy, viz: Through empty ammunition boxes marked "Ludlow & Co .. Manchester, England" left by the rebels, and which we were pleased to use for fuel.
We will conelnde the reminiscent order with a portion of our Maj. W. J. Colburn's account so bril- liantly narrated at a banquet of the Army of the Cumberland, of a part taken by him at the battle of Chattanooga. It is all is should be in characteriza- tion and comprehensiveness of description and we regret that we cannot quote more from its highly interesting pages: Maj. Colburn, was on duty on the staff of Gen. J. M. Brannan, chief of Art's Army of the Cumberland, and wasinstructed to act as aide-de- camp during theimpending battle. Maj. Colburn had organized a supply train from the 18 batteries com- posing the artillery reserve of the army. After a vivid detail of the great struggle along a four mile front, over precipices 400 feet high, and of the magni- cent victory, he informs us that he was ordered by Gen. Brannan, to proceed at onee to Gens. Gordon, Granger, Wood, Sheridan and Baird, and notify them
70
that he was sent to take charge of the captured guns. "I proceeded at once to Gen. Bragg's headquarters where I found Granger, Sheridan. Wood, Hazen and members of their staff, hilarious with joy at the suc- cess of the grand assault on the center by the gallant old Army of the Cumberland. I delivered my message which was then and there confirmed and on behalf of the Army of the Cumberland I took charge of the captured artillery. It was ten o'clock that night before I completed my tour and was able to report to my chief that we had captured 40 pieces of artillery. The next day Icommenced moving the captured guns.
* and parked them in front of the headquarters of Gen. Brannan in Chattanooga. With this capture our army felt as though the evil fortune of our batteries at Chickamauga had been retrieved, and what was of far greater moment to the national cause, we had secured Chattanooga forever to the Grand Republic."

MONUMENTAL MATTER
The State of Wisconsin having appropriated $20,- 000 for erecting monuments to its organizations that participated in the battles of Chickamauga and others in that section, a commission was appointed by the governor to attend to the business generally. We here append the report of Commissioner Dr. E. M. Kanouse, a member of our battery, and wounded at Chickamauga.
Report of State Commissioner representing the artil- lery service, from Wisconsin, for monuments in Chickamauga National Park:
Your representative was appointed one of the commissioners by Gov. W. H. Upham in March, 1-95, and went with the state commission to the Chicka- manga battlefieldl the 22nd-29th of same month and assisted in marking and fixing locations for the Wis- consin monuments. The position chosen for the 3rd battery is where on Sept. 19th '63 the battery was placed by the road side in a small open field, (just after the battery was placed in the cornfield near the Viniard honsel and where the battery did good

execution by its enfilading fire into Longstreet's forces. There is also a marker placed on the ridge next to the timber line on the west edge of the Dyer field, where we lost five guns, thirty-five horses and fifty per cent of our men (26 out of 52) in killed, wounded and missing, on Sept. 20, '63. On April 21st, '95 we met in Milwaukee and made the selections of the nine monuments, and let contracts for their erec- tion-at the time of the dedication of Chickamauga Park all but three were in position; later the chair- man and secretary visited and approved them all. The state fixed its appropriation for this purpose at $20,000; Infantry and Cavalry monuments to be $1,700 each and Batteries to be $1,200 each. Your state commission did its work gratis-and turned over about $4,500 to the state, recommending its use in placing a monument on Missionary Ridge, com- memorative of the deeds and valor of Wisconsin troops at Lookout Mountain, Missionary Ridge and the Siege of Chattanooga.
