1 PHOTO ALBUM WITH 40 GEM SIZE PHOTOS FROM THE 19TH WISCONSIN UNION INFANTRY, OF WHICH 30 ARE IDENTIFIED, MANY CASUALTIES OF B ATTLE OF F AIR OAKS. AT THIS BATTLE THE REGIMENT NUMBERED ONLY 189 OFFICERS/MEN AND SUFFERED 144 MEN KILLED AND WOUNDED! This is a 2 1/2 inch x 3 ¼ inch album with 40 gem size tintypes (1" x ¾") all identified to Company C of the 19th Wisconsin Infantry. All the images are in military uniforms and some w ith slouch hats and kepis. Album Starts with the two company officers and moves on to NCO's, then enlisted men. Album itself is in good condition, the back spine covering coming apart but still attached and album still holds its shape and brass closure clip works just fine. P hotos themselves are very good too, a few darker than others but are quite difficult to photograph without getting flash back. However they are much better in reality than the p ictures in the listing. Album itself dated patented 1863 U nder each identified photo is written the name of the soldier, some in ink and some in p encil. The 30 identified and 2 probable soldiers are: N AME, DATES OF SERVICE 1st Lt. William R.V. Frisby - 1/07/1862 to 12/11/ P romoted from Sergt. Capt. Alonzo H. Russel - 01/07/1862 to 08/09/1865 Sergt.

Bovay, Rollin M. Strong, S amuel K. Vaughn, Amos O. Rawley. This regiment was organized in the winter of , at Camp Utley, Racine, and was o rdered to Camp Randall on April 20 to guard Confederate prisoners sent from Fort Donelson. It was mustered in April 30, 1862, left the state June 2, and was on garrison duty at N orfolk, Va., until April 14, I t was then on picket and guard duty at various points for about two weeks, when it was a ssigned to duty at W est Point a nd Y orktown until the middle of August, and at Newport News until Oct. 8. It was then divided by companies for outpost and picket duty at points near N ew Berne, N. C., and was in several small engagements wi th the enemy. It was ordered to Yorktown, April 28, 1864, and on May 12 the right wing, acting as a s kirmish line, covered the 3rd brigade. It accompanied the general advance upon F ort Darling, carried the first line of the enemy's works, and occupied the road in the rear of F ort Jackson, where the next day the regiment was united. It was compelled to fall back by the furious a ssault of a heavy force, but it did so in good order. I t took part in the operations about Petersburg, doing siege and picket duty in the trenches. In August the veterans were sent home on furlough but returned in October, and participated in the engagement at Fair Oaks, a force of less than 200 men being engaged and suffering a loss o f 136 wounded and captured. They were joined by the non- veterans and the regiment was kept on picket duty in front of Richmond until April 3, 1865, when it entered the city and planted the regimental colors upon t he city hall. It was on provost duty at Richmond, Fredericksburg and Warrenton until Aug. 4, a nd was mustered out at Richmond Aug. 9, Its original strength was 973. Gain by recruits, 187; substitutes, 54; veteran re- enlistments, 270; total, 1,484. Loss by death, 136; desertion. 46; transfer. 152; discharge, 345; mustered o ut, 805. B ATTL E OF FAIR OAKS REPORT: C orrespondence of the State Journal. T he Nineteenth Regiment L etter from Major Vaughan. C HAPIN S FARM, Va., Nov. 1, MESSRS. EDITORS : On the morning of the 27 ult. the 19th Wisconsin was ordered to join a r econnoissance [sic] in force, consisting of a large portion of the 18th Army Corps. We left camp at 5 A. M., with three days cooked rations, proceeded in a northerly course, passing through a portion of White Oak Swamp, and arrived on the old battle-f ield of Fair Oaks about 2 P. M. same day. At this point our advance became sharply engaged with the enemy s skirmishers, driving them back a distance of three- fourths of a mile into their works. th

4 F airchild s brigade, composed of the 89th and 148th New York and 19th Wisconsin, ( only the veterans being with us,) was at once sent forward to charge a six- gun fort, and in doing so had to pass over an open plain three-fourths of a mile wide, subject to a withering cross- fire a s well as a direct one from the works we were charging. I n crossing this plain or open field full one- half the brigade fell. The advance succeeded in reaching within one hundred yards, but could go no further, and, as a protection, laid down in this position and remained some t wo hours, expecting supports would come to our assistance. It was now about 5 P. M., and the Johnnies knowing they had us, charged out over their works and captured nearly the whole of the regiment. Some few escaped, choosing rather to run the fire of a storm of rebel b ullets than be sent to the Hotel de Libby [Libby Prison] or Belle Isle [Belle Island P rison]. Among the fortunate was your humble servant. We took into the fight about one hundred and eighty men and nine officers. Our loss is one h undred and forty men and eight officers. Among those known to be killed are Capt. Patrick Bennett, of Co. E, from Racine county, and Lieut. John Wright, of Co. H, residence Milwaukee. Capt. Martin Scherff, of Co. F, Capt. Harmon Wentworth, of Co. K, and Adjutant

5 C. A. Holley are prisoners in Libby. Lieut. Wm. Spiegleberg was wounded and brought off the field. Lieut. Col. R. M. Strong (known to be wounded) was last seen on the field. Fears are entertained that he died upon the field, as nothing can be heard of him. Lieut. James G. L owery and Orderly Sergeant A. E. Christie, of Co. D, are wounded and prisoners in hospital i n Richmond. Very few of the wounded succeeded in getting off the field. I am unable to inform you further at this time. Very respectfully, S. K. VAUGHAN, Major C om dg. V ery rare to have so many photos of men from just one company individually photographed. Indeed from numbers, this may well be the entire company taken when mustering in to service as Veteran's in mid At this time the regiment only n umbered about 250 men, so individual companies would have been down to around 40
