Scouts and guides in the Army of the Potomac, around 1864 : “The individuals in the group were attached to the secret service
department of the Army of the Potomac when it was directed by Allan
Pinkerton. Many of these men who were gathered for service on the Peninsula
were known as Pamunkey Indians, relics of a small Virginia tribe which had
intermarried considerably with the African Americans. They were very loyal
to the Union, and their services were invaluable to McClellan during the
spring and summer of 1862. After Pinkerton left the army, the whole secret
service department was reorganized by Colonel Sharpe and he drew more largely
from the ranks for the composition of his force. Whenever these men were
captured, they were hanged as spice.”

Sketch of Camp Randall seen from “top of University Building”
done by William Fiske Brown, Co. B, 40th Wisconsin Volunteer Infantry, Madison,
Wisconsin, 1864 May 20 : At the outbreak of the Civil War, Governor Randall directed Maj. Horace A.
Tenney to put the fairground near the University into condition for
reception of Wisconsin troops. This was quickly done and in honor of the
governor, it was named Camp Randall. During the war the following troops
were stationed at Camp Randall while being organized for service: 2nd, 5th,
6th, 7th, 8th, 11th, 12th, 15th, 16th, 17th, 20th, 23rd, 19th, 30th, 36th,
37th, 38th, 40th, 46th, 47th, 19th and 50th. Also, Co. G of Berdan’s
Sharpshooters. The building on the mound to the left is the old fairground
building. The other barracks were probably built during the Civil War as
part of the “putting into condition” ordered by Gov.
Randall.

The most immediate of the tragic results of the Civil War in Mobile,
Alabama was the great explosion of 1865 May 25 : Federal soldiers collected and stored large quantities of recently
surrendered Confederate ammunition in Mobile cotton warehouses. When the
warehouse of Pomeroy and Marshall exploded, only a hold in the ground was
left and the sound was heard at Fort Morgan thirty miles away. Careless
handling of the ammunition by Negro soldiers was said to be the cause by eye
witnesses who had left the scene before the explosion. The total number of
persons killed was never determined accurately. Property loss was in excess
of $700,000.

“Old Abe,” eagle mascot of the 8th Wisconsin Regiment,
looking much like the “Yankee Buzzard” his enemies referred to him,
Black River Falls, Wisconsin, 1863 June
This picture was taken in a camp on the Big Black River in June 1863. All
that remained of the shield was the perch, following a fall by its carrier
during a skirmish. With meager facilities in camp. The members of Company C
built the one picture.
Photographer: John J. Putney, Racine, Wisconsin.

“Old Abe,” eagle mascot of the 8th Regiment, Wisconsin
Volunteer Infantry. Madison, Wisconsin, 1865 April
Photographer: James F. Bodtker, Madison, Wisconsin.
Bodtker on this occasion attempted to photograph Old Abe by taking him to the
roof in order to use the brightest light; but the eagle, sensing freedom,
started to fly away and was nearly killed by the abrupt jerk when he reached
the end of is short chain. The photograph was taken later in Bodtker’s
studio and is sometimes referred to as the “sanitary” photograph
of the bird since it was made for sale at the Northwest Sanitary Fair for
the benefit of disabled soldiers, held in Chicago 1865.

Anonymous oil painting on canvas of Old Abe, the Civil War eagle, mascot
of the 8th Infantry Regiment of Wisconsin Volunteers, circa 1868 : The painting has been associated with the McCann family as far back its
history is known. The McCanns were in some way associated with the original
bird, its capture and preservation when later stuffed according to Mrs.
Edward Santrucek, nee McCann; Mrs. Santrucek’s mother took it to Spokane, WA
with her and it hung in the armory there for many years. When Mr., Santrucek
returned to Wisconsin, she brought the painting back with her and donated it
to the State Historical Society of Wisconsin in 1958.
