Doser, John

During the Civil War years Wisconsin mustered into the service of the Union various organizations such as the Thirtieth Volunteer Infantry. Although it did not take an active part in the war against the Confederacy, it carried out its duties well. These duties included protecting civilians from Indians, enforcing the draft, building forts, and guarding prisoners of war. Of the ten companies in the Thirtieth, Company C was under the command of Captain Alexander Arnold of Galesville, Wisconsin. During much of his life Arnold kept a diary which included his years in military service. This paper centers around his diary which has not been previously transcribed. Because the Thirtieth was not engaged in combat, not much is known of its day to day operations. Arnold's diary does reveal some of these operations particularly as they relate to Company C.

Richter, Joyce Ann

This paper is a study of four men during the time they were in the Civil War. The chief figure was James Mellor, a farmer from the Coulee Region. The letters they wrote home featured life in the camps, thoughts on the battles and their concerns of home conditions. The purpose of this paper is to examine the life of the common soldier as shown in these letters and published sources. Comparing their letters with other Civil War collections added insight into the thoughts and comments of the fighting men from La Crosse.

This paper traces tt1e Twenty-fifth Regiment Infantry Wisconsin Volunteers' participation in the Civil War. Its members were recruited from western Wisconsin in 1862 with an original strength of 1018 men and were involved in operations in the western and southern theaters of the war from 1863 to until the end of the war in 1865. The Twenty-fifth lost more men than any other Wisconsin regiment. But, a majority of them died from disease rather than from combat. It spent its first year of duty serving in non-combat situations in uncomfortable weather and camp ccnditions, which dealt a severe blow to sita health and morale. It spent the last two years serving in campaigns of important consequence to the outcome of the war. It participated in the siege and capture of Vicksburg and served under Sherman in his historic campaigns against Meridian, Atlanta, Savannah, and the Carolinas.
