The first section of the book embraces a list of the actions and campaigns in which Wisconsin troops were actually and ac- tively engaged in contact with the enemy, giving date and ref- erence to the organizations engaged; and reports, if any, made by the commanders of the regiments or batteries which furnish an account of the actions in question. Notes are added, giving references to "Official Records of the Union and Confederate Armies" which contain all the official reports printed and avail- able. Then follows a brief sketch of each regiment and battery or- ganized in the state and mustered into the service of the United States, giving the period of service and the department, state or territory in which such organization served. Copies of official tables, showing population of the state, counties, cities and villages in 1860, election returns in 1860 and 1864, and copies of official circulars of the adjutant general and war department, all of which furnish information relating to civil war period, also are presented.

To illustrate — Suppose one is reading an account of the battle of Gettysburg; naturally a citizen of Wisconsin would desire to know what Wisconsin troops took part in that battle. By turning to the list of battles (page 26) the name of the organizations participating in the battle will be found. If farther information is desired, turn to the Campaign of Gettysburg; (page 81) there will be found an appropriate reference to the official documents to be consulted. These documents give a full ac- count of that great struggle from the military side. The reader desiring information as to other battles and campaigns in which Wisconsin organizations participated can consult these sketches and the reference made therein, which are intended to be a brief index to the complete printed record, particulary as the same relates to Wis- consin troops. ^ 2 Rebellion Records 156, 182. 122 SKETCHES OF WISCONSIN MILITARY ORGANIZATIONS ginia, it participated in the battle of Falling Waters July 2, • 1861, losing one man killed and five wounded and one prisoner.^ The term of service for which the men enlisted having expired, the First returned to Camp Scott, Milwaukee, and was mustered out of the military service of United States on August 21, 1861.

This work proceeded rapidly under the supervision of Col. John C. Starkweather at Camp Scott, Milwaukee and on the 19th of October, 1861, the First was mustered into the service of the United States. On the 28th of October the regiment left the state under orders to report at Louisville, Kentucky.

The or- ganization left the State on June 20, and arrived in Washing- ton, D. C. June 25, 1861. From this date until the regiment was mustered out, the Second Infantry served in that part of the Union Army known as the Army of Virginia and the ' ' Army of the Potomac." In July 1861 the Second was brigaded with three New York regiments of Infantry, the whole under com- mand of Colonel — and later General — William T.

Rufus King, which brigade became subsequently known as the ' ' Iron Brigade." With that brigade the Second participated in all the historic battles fought by the Army of the Potomac until May 11, 1864. After the battle of Laurel Hill the Second hav- ing become reduced to less than 100 men present for duty, was permanently detached from the brigade and was thereafter as signed to duty as provost guard of the Fourth Division of the Fifth Army Corps, of which the Iron Brigade was at that time a part, and following the march of that division crossed the Nortb Anna River on the 21st inst. arriving on the 6th of June on the Chickahominy, Virginia, where the regiment remained until the expiration of its term of service.

At the time the term of service of the Second Infantry ex- pired there were members of that regiment who had re-en- listed for three years or during the war, and recruits who had joined the regiment at various times during its term of serv- ice, whose term of enlistment had not expired. These men were, on the 11th day of June, 1864, organized as an independent battalion of two companies and assigned to duty as provost guard of the Fourth Division of the Fifth Army Corps, and continued in the service in the advance upon Petersburg under dii¥ereut assignments with the Corps until the 30th of Novem- ber, 1864, when the Battalion was transferred to the Sixth Infantry as Companies "G" and "H", of that regiment with which organization the remnant of the Second Infantry was connected until the muster out of service of the Sixth, July 16, 1865.

In the latter part of that month the Twelfth Corps, of which the Third was a part, was transferred to southern middle Tennessee as a part of the Army of the Cumberland. The Third was stationed at Stevenson, Ala., from the 3rd day of October, and during the latter part of that year and the early part of 1864 was engaged in guarding im- portant lines of railroad communications in southern middle Tennessee and northern Alabama. On the reorganization of the Army about Chattanooga for the advance upon Atlanta under General Sherman, the Third was assigned to the Second Brigade of the First Division of the Twentieth Army Corps commanded by General Joseph Hooker, and as a part of this organization participated in the Atlanta Campaign from Chat- tanooga to Atlanta, May 1 to September 8, 1864; the "March to the Sea", Atlanta to Savannah, November 15 to December 21, 1864, and from Savannah through the Carolinas, January 1 to April 26, 1865, until the surrender of the Confederate forces under General Johnston April 26, 1865.

W. 194 LEGISLATION— CALL FOR VOLUNTEERS. 1861 EXECUTIVE AND LEGISLATIVE ACTS SUPPORT OF THE UNION After the election in November 1861, of Abraham Lincoln as President, several states took steps which ultimately led to the passage of ordinances of secession, and military forces organized by those states seized property of the United States located at prominent points within those several states. The commanding officer of the Union forces at Charleston, S, C. declined to surrender to the State forces the forts under his com- mand. This was particularly true of Ft. Sumpter. Fort Sumpter, located in Charleston Harbor (S. C), was fired upon Friday, April 12, 1861, and evacuated by the Union forces on Sunday, April 14th. After this affair it was not expected that an armed conflict could be avoided. On April 15, 1861, President Lincoln issued a call for 75,000 volunteers to constitute a force to suppress the combinations to obstruct the enforcement of the laws of the United States and to cause the laws to be duly executed. (Messages and Papers of the Presidents, Vol. 6, pp. 13-14.) 122 Re- bellion Records 67-68. On the same day the "War Department telegraphed to the Gov- ernor that the call for one regiment of thirtyseven officers and seven hundred and fortythree men — a total of seven hundred and eighty — would be mailed that evening. The number fur- nished was eight hundred and seventeen. (125 Rebellion Records, 1264-1270.) Annual Session 1861. The annual session of the legislature of 1861 adjourned on the 17th day of April 1861, but had during the session anticipated LEGISLATIVE— PREPARATIONS FOR WAR. 195 1861 the possibility of a civil war, and had adopted three joint res- olutions in which the "Faith of the people of Wisconsin to aid the President of the United States in carrying out the prin- ciples indicated in his inaugural address to the fullest extent, putting into the scale if need be ' Our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor.' " And passed three acts to enable the Governor to meet and sup- ply anticipated calls for troops when a call was made for the same by the President of the United States to aid in maintaining the Union, and provided for the equipment of these troops and appropriated $200,000 to defray the necessary expenses. The money was to be raised by the issue of bonds. See— Chapters 239 and 307, 1861. And to encourage enlistment it was provided that such persons as enroll themselves and are "received into the service of the United States pursuant to any call, which has been or shall here- after be made by the president of the United States, shall during such service, be exempt from all civil process." Chapter 309, 1861. Call for Volunteers. Pursuant to the call of President Lincoln asking for the serv- ices of one regiment of volunteers from Wisconsin, the Governor on April 16, 1861, issued a proclamation calling for volunteers: "To the Loyal Citizens of Wisconsin: For the first time in the history of this Federal Government, or- ganized treason has manifested itself within several states of the Union, and armed rebels are making war against it. The Proclama- tion of the President of the United States tells of unlawful combina- tions too powerful to be suppressed in the ordinary manner, and calls for military forces toi suppress such combinations, and to sustain him in executing the laws. The treasures of the country must no longer be plundered; the public property must be protected from aggres- sive violence; that already seized, must be retaken, and the laws must be executed in every State of the Union alike. A demand made upon Wisconsin by the President of the United States for aid to sustain the Federal Arm, must meet with a prompt response. One Regiment of the Militia of this State will be required for immediate service, and further service will be required as the ex- igencies of the Government may demand. It is a time when, against 196 GOVERNOR'S CALL FOR VOLUNTEERS. 1861 the civil and religious liberties of the people, and against the integ- rity of the Government of the United States, parties and politicians and platforms must be as dust in the balance. All good citizens, everywhere, must join in making common cause against a common enemy. Opportunities will be immediately offered to all existing military companies, under the direction of the proper authorities of the State, for enlistment to fill the demand of the Federal Government, and I hereby invite the patriotic citizens of the State to enroll themselves into companies of seventy-eight men each, and to advise the Executive of their readiness to be mustered into service immediately. Detailed instructions will be furnished on the acceptance of companies, and the commissioned officers of each regiment will nominate their own field officers. In times of public danger bad men grow bold and reckless. The property of the citizen becomes unsafe, and 'both public and private rights liable to be jeopardized. I enjoin upon all administrative and peace officers within the State renewed vigilance in the maintenance and execution of the laws, and in guarding against excesses leading to disorder among the people. Given under my hand and the Great Seal of the State of Wiscon- sin, this 18th day of April, A. D. 1861. By the Governor, L. P. Harvey, Secretary of State. . Alex. vv. Randall." Messages and Proclamations Wis. War Governors, p. 48. This call met with a prompt response. On April 22nd the 'Governor issued a proclamation of thanks to the people of the State for their promptness and patriotic devotion to the country. On May 9, the Governor called a special session of the leg- islature. Extra Session 1861, May 15-27. At the special session May 15-27, eleven acts were passed to provide more completely for making ''The power of the State useful to the Government" of the United States. Aid to Families of Volunteers.

LEGISLATION— MILITARY PREPARATIONS, 1861. 197 1861 Section 2 of the same act authorizes ' ' any town, city or incor- porated village to raise money by tax" for like purposes. This act was amended by Chapter 11, Laws of 1863. Chapter 8 of the same session related to the same subject, and provided that all enlisted men having families dependent upon them for support, should receive the sum of five dollars per month from the time of muster into the service, such sum to remain in the State treasury, and the amount accumulated to the credit of any soldier to be used by the State treasurer to pay orders drawn on him by the soldier or authorities for the support and maintenance of such family. If the amount accumulated was not drawn, the same was to be paid to such soldier or his legal representMive at the expiration of the term of sei'viee. This act was farther amended by Chapters 112 and 374, 1862; Chapter 4, Extra Session 1862; Chapter 181, 1863; Chapters 117 and 435, 1864, and Chapter 416, 1865. Provision for Military Force.

Section 1 — provides that "For the better security and protection of the state, and to aid in enforcing the laws and maintaining the au- thority of the federal government, there shall be raised and organized in this state, any number, not to exceed six regiments of infantry, in- clusive of three already called into the service of the United States, in the discretion of the governor: provided, that if the full number of six regiments raised as aforesaid, be mustered into the service of the United States, that then and in that case the governor is hereby au- thorized and empowered, in his discretion, to raise, organize and re- ceive into the service of the state, two additional regiments of infan- try, to be held as a reserve force, subject to be mustered into the serv- ice of the United States, and as often as any call shall be made by the general government, and the forces then enrolled shall be mus- tered into the service of the United States, it shall be lawful for the governor to accept the services of so many additional volunteers as shall be constantly equal to two regiments of reserve force enrolled in advance of any requisition made upon this state." This was practically making provision for supplying as many regiments as was called for by the federal authorities, and seek- 198 ARMS, LOANS, EXEMPTION FROM PROCESS. 1861 ing to be prompt in filling quotas by having two regiments in reserve at all times.

DECISIONS— SUPREME COURT. 209 DECISIONS OF THE SUPREME COURT OF WISCONSIN ON QUESTIONS OF LEGISLATION AND THE LAW RELATING TO ENLISTMENTS IN THE ARMY, AND UPON OTHER QUES- TIONS ARISING OUT OF EFFORTS TO SUSTAIN THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. Financial Questions. Among the early questions which faced the State officials was the problem of raising the necessary funds to pay the expenses connected with the organization and equipment of the volunteers. The legislature of 1861, to provide for the common defense and to aid in enforcing the laws and maintaining the authority of the Federal government, had enacted Chapter 239, laws 1861, and Chapter 13, extra session 1861, which authorized the issue of bonds amounting in the aggregate to one million dollars. The question was at once raised as to the constitutionality of the leg- islation. While this question remained unanswered there was no prospect of negotiating the bonds, and without money the equipment of the volunteer army could not be carried on. In his perplexity the governor appealed to the judges of the Su- preme Court to aid him by a public expression of their opinion. Recognizing the extraordinary emergency and necessity for ac- tion, the judges wrote the following letter : State of Wisconsin, Supreme Court. Clerk's Office, Madison, June 5th, 1861. His Excellency Alex. W. Randall, Oovernor of Wisconsin. Sir: — We are in receipt of your communication of the 4th inst. ask- ing our opinion as to the constitutionality of Chapter 239 of the Gen- eral Laws of 1861, entitled "An Act to provide for the defense of the state and to aid in enforcing the laws and maintaining the authority of the Federal Government," and Chapter 13, of the extra session held 14— A. o. w. 210 BONDS, VALIDITY— SUFFRAGE. in May, 1861, entitled "An Act to provide ior borrowing money to re- pel invasion, suppress insurrection and defend the state in time of war," and as to whether 'bonds, issued under the above acts and in conformiiy to their provisions, would be valid and binding against the state. Your Excellency is pleased to intimate that it has become a neces- sity in the present exigencies of the state and country to appeal to us for an opinion upon the above question. Yielding to this emer- gency, we have lelt it to be our duty to give you our opinion upon the question suggested in your communication, and we would there- fore state that we have considered the above mentioned laws, and from the examination we have given them we entertain no doubt as to their constitutionality, and we are of the opinion that the bonds issued in conformity to their provisions will be valid and binding upon the State of Vv^isconsin. Respectfully yours, LuTiiEE S. Dixon, Chief Justice. O. Cole, Associate Justice. P. S. Mr. Justice Paine is at present in Milwaukee and has had no opportunity of acting upon the subject matter of your communication. O. Cole." By the aid of this opinion the bonds were negotiated, the money raised, and the volunteers equipped, and to the credit of the people of the state no one ever questioned the validity of these obligations. In Breitenhach vs. Turner, 18 "Wis. 140, [January 1864] the financial legislation of Congress which made treasury notes of the United States a legal tender for the payment of pre-existing debts was sustained. Soldiers Voting. At the extra session of the legislature in 1862 a law was passed allowing the qualified electors of this State, who should be acting as volunteer soldiers in the service of the United States, to vote at the general fall elections. The constitutionality of this act was challenged at the January term of the Supreme Court in 1863, and the validity of the law sustained in an able opinion by Mr. Justice Paine. In conclusion, speaking for the Court, the Justice says: "But, whenever else may be said upon the subject, this at least is true, that history has furnished no better example illustrating the capacity of the people for self government, than that furnished ENLISTMENTS— MINOR— HABEAS CORPUS. 211 under this law, of the citizen soldiers pausing amid the horrors of war to discharge their duties as the primary legislators of the republic, and to guard by an intelligent use of their ballots, to be forwarded to their hones, the welfare of their country, and those principles of civil liberty for which they are ready at any moment to lay down their lives upon the field of battle." State ex rcl. Chandler v. Main, 16 Wis. 398. Original enactment Chapter 11, extra session 1862, amended Chapter 59, 1863, and Chapter 88, 1865. Enlistments. — Habeas Corpus. The first ease decided by tlie Supreme Court involving the law relating to enlistments was that of Rlartin Gregg, a minor over eighteen years of age who had, without the consent of his father, enlisted as a soldier into the service of the United States in the Twentieth Wisconsin Volunteer infantry. The father made an application to the Court for a writ of habeas corpus, seeking to have the soldier discharged on the ground that the minor could not make a valid contract of enlistment. The application was denied, the court holding that under the Acts of Congress then in force (Act February 13, 1862) a minor over eighteen years of age could make a valid contract of enlistment in the military service of the United States without the consent of his parent or guardian. In re Gregg, 15 Wis. 479. In re Riggins, 16 Wis. 351, the question of the enlistment of a minor was again presented to the Supreme Court. A minor about seventeen years of age enlisted in the First Cavalry. At the time of his enlistment he took the usual formal oath that he was eighteen j'ears of age, but it appeared that the minor had told the recruiting officer that he was only seventeen years of age. The Court held that the enlistment was unauthorized, and that upon habeas corpus the minor should be discharged from the service. In re Oliver, 17 Wis. 681, was an application by a father for a writ of habeas corpus to procure the discharge of his son, a mi- nor under eighteen years of age, who had been enlisted in the army. The application came within the rule adopted in in re Higgins, But since the decision in that case Congress had adopted 212 BOUNTIES FOR SOLDIERS. (March 3, 1863) an act authorizing the President to suspend the privilege of the writ of habeas corpus, and the President in pur- suance of the authority by such act conferred, had on the 15th of September 1863, suspended the privilege of the writ. The court accordingly denied the application and refused the writ. In re Kemp, 16 Wis. 359. In the fall of 1862 the authorities deemed it necessary to make a draft for men for the military service. Resistance was en- countered and litigation followed. Nicholas Kemj^ was arrested by the military authorities on the 12th day of November, 1862, for forcible resistance to the draft in Ozaukee count}^ and held in custody at Camp Randall. Upon due application a writ of habeas corpus was issued out of the Su- preme Court on the 4th day of December 1862, directed to Gen- eral Elliott, the commander of the military department; service of the writ was made and General Elliott sent to the clerk of the court a return, stating the reason for the arrest and deten- tion of Kemp, and claimed that the writ of habeas corpus had been suspended by the President under General Orders No. 141, dated September 24, 1862. The case then as presented to the court was a question as to the power of the President of the United States under the Con- stitution and laws of the United States, in time of civil war, to suspend the writ of habeas corpus, to declare martial law and to arrest and cause to be punished by the sentence of a court martial, or military commission, citizens charged with offenses against the laws and regulations of war. And to declare and punish as offenses those acts not made such by Congress. The conclusion of the court was that the power of suspending the Avrit of habeas corpus under the first section of Article IX of the constitution of the United States is a legislative power vested in Congress, and the President had no power to suspend the privilege of the writ, and that the proclamation relied on, dated September 24, 1862, was not a valid exercise of power. This decision, coming from a court of acknowledged ability and undoubted loyalty, attracted attention throughout the coun- try, and Congress passed an act approved March 3, 1863, author- izing the President to suspend the writ of habeas corpus at any time during the war when he should deem such action necessary. In re Griner, 16 "Wis. 423, was an application for a writ of habeas corpus to discharge the petitioner from the custody of the HABEAS CORPUS— ENLISTMENT. 213 military authorities. The prisoner having been drafted under the acts of congress, the real question passed upon by the court being the validity of such legislation, and it was held the act of Congress of February 28, 1795, which provides for calling forth the militia to execute the laws of the Union, suppress insurrec- tions and repel invasions, confers on the president authority to detail, draft, and call into the field the quotas of militia of the several states, and to make all necessary rules and regulations for that purpose, as supplemented by act of July 17, 162 was valid. The same rule was approved and applied in the ease of Dnoecker v. Salomon, 21 Wis. 621, which was an action for false imprisonment by one of the participants in the efforts to oppose the draft, then about to be made by the officers of the state, acting by virtue of the laws of the United States. In re Wehlitz, 16 Wis. 443, it was held that a resident alien, who had declared his intention to become a citizen of the United States, became under the Constitution and laws of Wisconsin a citizen of this State, and one who had exercised the right of suf- frage in this State, was liable to be drafted into the military serv- ice of the United States under the provisions of the acts of Congress of May 8, 1792, and July 17, 1862. In re Conway, 17 Wis. 527, it was held that a minor of foreign birth who came to this country with his parents, and who attained full age before the father became a citizen of the United States, was not a citizen of the State and hence not liable to draft. In Broadhcad v. Milivaukce, 19 Wis. 624, Chapter 14 laws of 1865, authorizing towns, cities and villages to raise money by taxation for the payment of bounties to volunteers for the mil- itary service of the United States, was sustained as a valid exer- cise of legislative power. In the course of the opinion Chief Justice Dixon, speaking for the Court, says : "I think the consideration of gratitude alone to the soldier for his services, be he volunteer, substitute or drafted man, will sus- tain a tax for bounty money to be paid to him or his family. Cer- tainly no stronger consideration of gratitude can possibly exist than that which arises from the hardships, privations and dangers which attend the citizen in the military service of his country; 214 DRAFT— CITIZENSHIP. and all nations Ijave ever so regarded it. Who will say that the legislature may not, in consideration of such services, either di- rectly or indirectly, or through the agency of the municipality 216 REBELLION RECORDS. Official No. SERIES II.
