Wisconsin in the Civil War: ca. 1900 unique book from Baraboo Republic
(Wisconsin): np, c. 1900. Wraps. A large unique book, ca. 1900, 14 x 8.5 inches, vertically oriented; softcover, about 100 pages of typescript in purple carbon, very seldom with ink corrections, culled from “The Republic” — probably the Baraboo Republic, a newspaper of the period published in Baraboo, the county seat of Sauk County, Wisconsin, this book with material relating to the Iron Brigade, the 6th Wisconsin Regiment of volunteers who fought for the Union in the Civil War, and also concerning the Sauk County Riflemen. It apparently was compiled by a veteran-turned-historian, who concludes this compilation writing, “Returned to private life -- became the 'man behind the hoe' instead of 'behind the gun.’” Very rare, and a great resource for anyone interested in this period of Wisconsin history. Very Good. Item #0086438
