Default welcome
A hearty welcome from the Republic of Wisconsin. The 13th was a fine regiment. The first regiment formed from the 2nd congressional district in northern Illinois. So respected by General Fremont, he dubbed them Freemont's Greyhounds. They once marched 42 miles in a day (impressive, to be sure). Again welcome to the forum. Glad to have you....huzzah!

My dear mother:- I have come safely through two more terrible engagements with the enemy, that at South Mountain and the great battle of yesterday (Antietam). Our splendid regiment is almost destroyed. We have had nearly 400 men killed and wounded in the battles. Seven of our officers were shot and three killed in yesterday's battle and nearly 150 men killed and wounded. All from less than 300 engaged. The men have stood like iron....Maj.
