A Wartime Reunion and War Memory in a Wisconsin Village
A recounting of local Civil War memory begins with a meeting where young Bragg urged volunteers for the Union. Eugene Hardy, a sixteen year old, joined the effort, while Bragg’s company became part of the Iron Brigade. The article covers recruitment, battles, drafts, and the later recall of Lincoln’s era, Gettysburg and Bull Run, the surrender at Appomattox, Lincoln’s assassination, and postwar reflections. It ends with a quote on veteran honor and the Grand Army of the Republic, dated Santiago, Chile, March 20, 1906.
