Down the sunny side, through the winter's frosted tear,


Through the mosses, cold and sear,


Pure and fair as lilies are, ope's the sweet arbutus star. Silken-petaled, rosy-tipped, snowy-hearted, dewy-lipped, Never lovelier offering could the tropic sunshine bring Offspring of an angel breath Warmed to life through chill and death, Never truer Easter sign Robed a cross or strewed a shrine."


Ay, the Spring has chosen well-better than we understood. Open star and budded bell best befit the cloister cell Of the templed wood ; Best unfold the mystic story from the secret of its own : Best proclaim the risen glory from the life itself has known. Blossom of the Wilderness ! God-child of the snow's caress ! Heaven shall love thee not the less, blooming here alone.


FOND DU LAC COUNTY WAR RECORD.


No county in Wisconsin has a more honorable or noble war record than Fond du Lac. The news that Fort Sumter had been fired upon and had surrendered reached Fond du Lac, Ripon and Waupun Saturday evening, April 13, 1861, but was not generally disseminated until Sunday. Everything was dropped, and people rushed to the centers of population and information for the latest news. Newspapers were in demand and commanded almost any price, one man paying a dollar for a copy of the Chicago Tribune. Impromptu meetings to sustain the Government were held everywhere, the first of which any record was left being held Sun- day evening, April 14, in the city of Fond du Lae. On Thursday evening, the largest meet- ing ever held in that city was addressed at Amory Hall, by Edward S. Bragg, J. M. Gillet, S. E. Lefferts and Mason C. Darling. The intensity of the excitement, patriotism and enthusi- asm manifested cannot be described. Resolutions upholding the Government, and couched in

the strongest possible language, were adopted. About $4,000 was raised to care for the families of soldiers, and pledges were offered on every hand to furnish wood, meat, flour and provisions to soldiers' wives and children. Men offered houses free of rent ; physicians offered medical attendance free of charge, and the City Council voted, at a special meeting, although it had no right to do so, $5,000 to aid soldiers' families. Patriotism and generosity ran riot. War meetings were appointed in almost every schoolhouse in the county, and speakers were in great demand. The demand, however, was supplied, as men who had never made a speech before, and have not since, proved to be fountains of patriotic eloquence. The Reporter, of Fond du Lae, in its issue of April 27, 1861, thus briefly but graphically describes the excitement of the hour :


" We should, perhaps, make an apology that the Reporter is lacking this week in the usual amount of matter. The events of the week have occupied our whole attention. Our work- men are worn down with night work in getting out extras of telegraphie reports, which we print morning and evening. Nor can we publish all the war news, for want of room and for want of type-setters to get up the type. Two of our workmen have enlisted.


" The war feeling is so intense and absorbing that much of the business of our city has been stopped; men are collected in crowds on the streets, and before the recruiting office of Col. Lefferts. Mechanics have left their shops, clerks their desks, printers their cases, laborers their usual employments, and all are prepared to take up arms in defense of the flag of their country."


Capt. John McGinnis offered the services of the Hibernian Guards of Fond du Lac, five days after Gov. Randall's proclamation was posted, and they were accepted. This was the first offer of a company from Fond du Lac County. It was not the first company to leave for camp, as it was composed of only thirty men who were willing to fight, and some recruiting was neces- sary to secure the necessary seventy-eight.


The first man to enlist in Fond du Lac County was Colwert K. Pier, and the second was Christian Klock. This was on Monday forenoon, April 15, and they signed the roll in S. E. Lefferts' office, at 494 Main street.


Party lines were nearly obliterated, old feuds were forgotten, and a new era in good-fellow- ship and patriotism inaugurated. Old enemies, both political and social, met at recruiting gath- erings, and made speeches together.


Patriotism and a desire to do something for their country were not confined to the men- The ladies were busy preparing little things for the soldiers to take with them ; making flags, committing patriotic songs, making rosettes of red, white and blue, and lending their influence by being present at all war meetings. When the first company left Fond du Lac, each member was presented by the ladies with an elegant silk rosette and a Testament, and the company with a large and costly flag. These were presented at Amory Hall on Tuesday evening, April 31, at which time the company assembled to take the army oath. W. C. Kellogg administered the oath, and so enthusiastie were the spectators, that one and all arose and took the solemn obliga- tion also. Rev. George B. Eastman made a prayer, and E. S. Bragg the following speech :


CITIZEN SOLDIERS: In obedience to your own patriotic impulses to defend a flag hallowed by the blood of patriots, the maintenance of which was bequeathed to you as a legacy of a glorions ancestry, you are about to bid adieu to friends and kindred, to put off the garb of peace and assume the " slow-measured tread of grim-visaged war." In days of old, the knight did his devoir under the colors of his " ladye-love." The remembrance of the sweet, sad parting cheered him when gloom was stealing o'er his spirit, and rendered doubly dear the achievements of his arm. In later days-in the times which tried men's souls-the women of America cheered the soul of the patriot ; the mother gave her husband and son as willing offerings, and the maiden wiped the death-damp from the brow of her lover without a murmur. That race of noble women "is not yet extinct. They are as ready now as then, at their country's call, to make the sacrifice.


Capt. McCall, through me the women of Fond du Lac bid you and your soldiers God-speed in your holy purpose. By my hand they entrust you with these colors as a parting token. Maintain them in the front of the battle. Let them never be sullied by an ignoble act on the field, or in the camp. Protect them, if necd be, with your blood, remembering always, that they possess the talismanic power of a woman's blessing.

Capt. J. V. McCall responded :


On behalf of the Badgers, I tender to the ladies of Fond du Lac our heartiest thanks for this beautiful flag, assuring them that each and all of us, rank and file, will do our utmost to protect it from dishonor. And, whether on the field, or in camp, on duty or off, the remembrance of the fair givers will ever be cherished.


Two days after this, May 2, 1861, the company took its departure amid a strange com- mingling of cheers, sobs and tears. The train left Thursday morning over the Chicago & North- Western Railway, from Fond du Lac, and the city was literally jammed with people from all parts of the county, to whom the idea of war and the sight of soldiers were novel and inspiriting.


Before their departure, a splendid dinner was served by the proprietor of the Lewis House, Mr. B. S. Patty, while the bands discoursed music, and patriotic speeches were made outside of the hotel. This company (I), called the "Badger Boys," was assigned to the First Wisconsin Regiment ; was the first body of Fond du Lac County men to start for the war, and consisted of the following officers and privates :


Captain, James V. McCall ; First Lieutenant, Thomas H. Green ; Ensign, Henry Decker; First Sergeant, Lyman M. Ward; Second Sergeant, William S. Burrows; Third Sergeant, Walter T. Coneys; Fourth Sergeant, Ed F. Ferris; First Corporal, Ed T. Midgely; Second Corporal, Milton Ewen ; Third Corporal, Timothy F. Strong, Jr .; Fourth Corporal, Henry Taylor.


Privates-Kelsey M. Adams, Levi Annis, George Beaver, David Bidwell, H. E. Barrette, David Babcock, Joseph Buschar, John N. Curtis, Edward B. Crofoot, Volney Chapman, S. Coleman, Jr., William E. Chase, C. T. Carpenter, Henry W. Durand, E. P. Downer, Matthew Emerson, John Farrell, John V. Frost, Kingman Flint, Martin V. Fargo, William A. Fargo, William M. Gardner, F. Grasslee, John Grignon, R. Gilbraith, George R. Gates, H. W. Hlub- bell, W. S. Horton, Isadore Heibert, Charles S. Henry, Lewis 1Iart, John F. Hagan, Christian Klock, C. L. Kimball, William Knothardt, Joseph King, Merion Lake, Andrew Lundry, Harri- son Matthews, Norton W. Mack, Theodore Magneusan, Charles II. Morgan, John Oliver, Charles Palmer, Albert W. Paine, James G. Potter, Colwert K. Pier, M. W. Peters, Josiah Prosser, William A. Place, Richard Peacock, John Reichardt, George P. Robinson, Francis G. Rice, R. G. Stevens, Samuel Sherwood, Roswell M. Sawyer, Leonard Shaw, George T. Wilkins, Parley E. Wilson, George E. Wood, John Wiley, M. D. Wilson, Robert Whittleton, H. Walters, Delos A. Ward, Byron A. Wheeler and Charles Williams.


Innumerable copies of the "Star Spangled Banner," and miniature flags, on which were printed various patriotic mottoes, and extracts from the speeches of great men, were scattered about the country, and the work of recruiting went on at an astonishing rate, the time of enlist- ment at first being for only ninety days. Flags floated everywhere. Bulletins naming the prominent men who had enlisted, and scraps containing the seditious utterances of Southern men and officers, were freely circulated to increase, if possible, the enthusiasm for enlisting, and at the war meetings, men who could not enlist would " bid " for volunteers. That is, A would call out, " I will give $50 for the next volunteer; " B would say, "I'll give $100," and so on until another volunteer was secured, the meetings continuing until late at night. A description of the wild excitement and intense enthusiasm of one war meeting would apply to all of them, and they were held everywhere in the county.


The following card, printed on imitation bank paper, was suddenly and unaccountably found in liberal circulation, furnishing the salaries of soldiers in different positions : Colonel, $218 per month ; Lieutenant Colonel, $194; Major, $175; Captain, $118; First Lieutenant, $108.50; Second Lieutenant, $103.50 ; Brevet Second Lieutenant, $103.50 ; First, or Orderly Sergeant, $29; other Sergeants, $27 ; Corporals, $22; privates, $20, and musicians, $21 per month.


These figures, though not correct, mixed well with the enthusiasm of the hour, and recruit- ing went on more rapidly than ever, until it was announced in one of the local papers of May 25, 1861, that " Fond du Lac County has furnished a greater number of volunteers than any other county in the State, not even excepting Milwaukee. We have now nine full com- panies, and three more nearly full, more than enough for one full regiment. Of these, six com- panies have enlisted for three years, or during the war. Should the exigencies of the war


538

require it, we are confident the number could be doubled in this county. Our volunteers com- pare favorably with any in the State. They are a fine, able-bodied set of men, who entered into this business because they felt it their duty to do so, leaving their fields and workshops, and occupations, to be supplied by others. It is an indisputable fact that Capt. McCall's Company stands at the head of the First Regiment for good order, sobriety and military bearing. They have earned a reputation in their short period of camp life, of which they may well feel proud. Should their example be followed by the remaining companies, Fond du Lac will have the proud distinction of having better men in the field, as well as more of them, than any county in the State.'


In a very few days after the first company was organized under Capt. J. V. McCall, within thirty days from the time Gov. Randall's proclamation appeared in Fond du Lac County, the following six companies had been organized, officers chosen and their services accepted : Capt. Emerson's " North Star Rifles," of Taycheedah ; Capt. John Maginnis' " Union Guards," of Fond du Lac; Capt. Gage's "Hamilton Guards," of the towns of Osceola, Auburn, Ashford and that vicinity ; Capt. E. S. Bragg's " Rifles," of Fond du Lac ; Capt. Bertine Pinkney's " Rosendale Guards," of Rosendale; Capt. O. H. La Grange's "Ripon Rifles," of Ripon ; Capt. Clark's .. Waupun Light Guards," of Waupun, and the " Oakfield Rifles."


Before this time, Company I had begun to have " some experience," and it will be inter- esting to know what it was and how the members liked it. Many of the boys had been accus- tomed to fine clothes, luxurious homes and plenty of money, and not a few of them took along well-filled trunks. C. K. Pier wrote weekly letters to the Fond du Lac Reporter, signing him- self " Trowlec," in one of which he said :


" We have at last received our clothes, which they call uniforms, although one would think to see the company on parade, that the tailor had warranted each uniform to fit the largest man or the smallest boy. The cloth is gray, of various shades; much of it is ef poor quality and will not stand hard service. The pants have a black cord down the sides, and the coats have brass buttens and stand-up collars. On Monday (May 13), Col. Starkweather presented the regiment with a remnant of Washington's flag. Yesterday (May 15), we commenced our second course on soldier's fare. One mere, and we will be on regular army rations. The contract has been let to feed us at 39 cents per head. Each man has a metal plate, spoen, knife and fork, which he must take care of himself. About 6 o'clock, the Orderly Sergeant calls out, 'Com- pany I, fall in for breakfast,' and, as the call is passed from tent to tent, you take your plate in one hand, knife, fork, cup and spoon in the other, and step into the ranks. But be careful as you go inte the eating-house that you do not slip down in a pool of coffee. As the boys range themselves along the rough table, the Orderly commands, ' Inward face-take seats.' At first, a teacup of mustard, a box of pepper, salt and vinegar, are the only articles in the line of vict- uals to be seen ; but, immediately, a pan filled with slices of bread an inch or mere in thickness, another of boiled potatoes, followed by one filled with meat, come in rapid succession. The bread is 'baker's,' and good ; the potatoes are good enough, and the meat-well, as te meat and gravy, we won't take any this morning. The waiter fills your cup with coffee, which you sweeten and taste. It is cold, and appears inclined to coagulate. Another waiter appears, and while steam rises in large volumes from his pitcher, cries out, 'Hot coffee !' You want some. of course, but what is to be done ? Your cup is full, you cannet swallow its contents, and there is no dish into which to empty it. You look around and find everybody in the same fix. Finally, a sly one comes to an ' about face' and pours his coffee on the ground. In an instant you follow suit, and so do the others. Now it may be understeed whence came the poels of


coffee on the ground. * * After finishing your meal, should you wish to clear your plate of fragments, you empty them on the table or where you did the cold coffee. You clean your dish with bread, dip it in a large dish of het water, and wipe it with paper."


The boys got their pay about the Ist of June, and their genius was taxed te smuggle " liquid dry goods " into camp, as it was against the rules to be caught with a bottle.


539


HISTORY OF FOND DU LAC COUNTY.


On Monday before the First Regiment left Camp Scott at Milwaukee, the death of one Monroe, of Company C, took the spirit nearly all out of the boys. On the 9th of June, they started for the front, and the journey to Maryland was one continuous ovation. Music. cannon, cheers, ice water, hot coffee. lunches, fruits, papers, pretty girls and shouting men met them at every depot. At one village in Ohio, the people were so enthusiastic as to allow their daughters to board the train and ride with the soldiers until the returning train was met. Some of the Fond du Lac boys put up at hotels, and were liberal with money received from friends and relatives at home. Their first fighting was at Falling Waters, in Virginia, July 2, 1861. It was a wild, harum-scarum battle, but the boys thought it was a big thing. The First Regiment lost one man (not from Fond du Lac County), and C. K. Pier wrote home that he saw two of the enemy stretched dead in a field, while David Babcock sent back word that "in the free and rapid distribution of bullets, the rebs had attained to a proficiency that was truly astonishing." Afterward, the battle of Falling Waters was a standing joke among the veterans, and is to this day.


The First Regiment was mustered out in August, but was soon re-organized, as most of the boys re-enlisted for "three years or the war."


Lyman M. Ward went out from Fond du Lac in the first company of the First Regiment of Wisconsin Volunteers. He was the author of-" Dodge the big ones."


After serving with the original First, Col. Ward, as he was familiarly known, helped to organize. and. from the beginning to the end, was identified with the Fourteenth Regiment. At Pittsburg Landing, notwithstanding the terrors and disasters of the first day's fight, the Fourteenth absolutely refused to break or run. Their splendid behavior won for them the title, " Fourteenth Wisconsin Regulars." Three times, during the second day, they charged and cap- tured a rebel battery, and each time, for want of proper support, were compelled to let go their prize. Most every one has heard in one shape or another the story of the officer who told his men they might dodge " the big ones," but few are acquainted with the real incident which gave it origin.


While forming the line for the fourth charge, this regiment drew the concentrated fire of all the enemy's guns within range. Shell, grape and solid shot swept over and about them with shriek, hiss and roar, which only one who has been there can appreciate. The Colonel passed along, cautioning the men to stand steady, assured them they had that day made their names immortal, to keep their ranks solid, that a man was as apt to dodge in front of a bullet as to avoid it, and that another hour would surely give them the victory. Just then, a perfect tornado of iron and lead swept over their heads; every man and officer involuntary dodged, when Lieut. Ed. Ferris said: "But, Colonel, when they shoot a cooking stove right past a man's ear, can't he dodge just a little ? "


" Well, yes," said the Colonel, " if it's a big one, dodge just a little, about as much as I did."


Five minutes later, the regiment again went for that battery, and never let go of it. As a trophy of that day's service, the Government assigned one of the captured guns to the State, and it is now at Madison.
