Homeward Bound in the Wisconsin Volunteers Memoir
A long wartime reminiscence follows Ivan and friends as their Thirty Wisconsin regiment returns home from a brutal campaign. They face loss, reunion, and bittersweet reflections while attending entertainments, sharing songs, and a perilous riverboat excursion ended by a leak and near disaster. Mourning, memory, and what becomes of each man close the tale.
