Wisconsin War Records Move Toward Clean, Complete Files
Weekly Wisconsin reports on the 1865 orders to Wisconsin regiments to record each volunteer’s service, the chaotic, patchy state of wartime records, and the drive under Gov. Rusk and Adjt-Gen. Chapman to compile, recopy, and publish a full roster. It notes scarce two-thirds response, prejudiced comments, and the ongoing pension claim work, with nine clerks and two repairers advancing the project in Mavisex, Wis.
