This volume details the Civil War experiences of the 11th Wisconsin
Volunteers as they traveled more than 9000 miles in the service of
their country. The book looks at the attitude prevalent in
Wisconsin at the start of the war and discusses the background of
the men who comprised the regiment, 72 percent of whom were
farmers. Compiled primarily from the letters and diaries of the men
who served in the 11th Wisconsin, the work focuses on the firsthand
day-to-day experiences of the common soldier, including rations (or
lack thereof), clothing, disease, and, at times, the simple act of
waiting. The 11th Wisconsin lost more men to disease than to
battle, so their story presents an accurate picture not only of the
heroic but also the sometimes humdrum yet perilous existence of the
soldier. Appendices provide a list of occupations practiced by the
men, dates of muster into service for the regiment's companies and
a copy of a sermon delivered by George Wells after Lee's surrender
in 1865.
