Originally published in 1984 by Morningside Bookstore, Dayton, Ohio, with 372 pages. The 2nd Wisconsin, which was commanded by Colonel Lucius Fairchild, is a book which contains golden memories. Many of the writers were participants in the great conflict, which included the deadly fire fights at 1st Bull Run, Brawner's Farm. Antietam, and the epic struggle at Gettysburg. If you are looking for a book written by actual veterans and not our modern day contemporaries trying to idolize them, then try this one. 360 pages, photos, roster, cost of $ 30.00. (Side note: The 2nd Wisconsin was issued a new national color flag, August, 1863. It would be carried into action at places such as Mine Run, The Wilderness and Spotsylvania before the regiment was mustered out of service in June, 1864.
2nd Wisconsin, "Brave Men's Tears: The Iron Brigade at Brawner Farm, by Alan D. Gaff. This book focuses on the Union "Iron" Brigade, which was comprised of the 2nd, 6th, and 7th Wisconsin Volunteer Infantry Regiments, the 19th Indiana Infantry and Battery B of the 4th U.S. Artillery, and its involvement in the battle with Stonewall Jackson's Confederate forces at John C. Brawner's farm, near Groveton, at the 2nd Battle of Bull Run, on August 28th, 1862. Along with Abner Doubleday's brigade, the Iron Brigade which was commanded by Brigadier General John Gibbon, would contribute to an eventual stalemate between Union and Reb forces, particularly those under General Taliferro and Richard S. Ewell's units. Although not a true regimental history, those who are particularly interested in the Union units may want to pick up a copy of this book. Originally published in 1985 by Morningside Bookstore, with 209 pages, copies should be suntil be available.

6th Wisconsin, "Service with the Sixth Wisconsin Volunteers, part of the Iron Brigade at the Railroad Cut at Gettysburg," by Rufus Robinson Dawes. "Originally published in 1890, by E.R. Alderman & Sons, Marietta, Ohio, within 330 pages. Rufus Dawes was an Ohio native, born July 4th, 1838, in Malta, Ohio. Dawes would one day become a war hero, businessman, and Congressman. Dawes attended the University of Wisconsin at Madison for two years before returning to Ohio to graduate from Marietta College in 1860. When the Civil War started, Dawes was living in Juneau County, Wisconsin and immediately raised an infantry company called the "Lemonwier Minute Men." This Company was assigned as Company K of the Sixth Wisconsin with Dawes as its captain. He was appointed Major in 1862, Lieutenant Colonel in 1863, and full Colonel of the Regiment in 1864. On March 15, 1865, he was appointed a "brevet" brigadier-general. (not much importance). During the Civil War Dawes served in many battles in the Eastern Theater, when he took a commission in the famous Iron Brigade , and led his black-hatted troops into most of the major battles of the Eastern theater, including 2nd Bull Run, Antietam, Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, Gettsyburg, Spotsylvania, and Petersburg, keeping a journal throughout, of which he spent sixty-two days under fire. Amazingly, he was never wounded. Dawe's performance in battle was exceptional and he proved to be a leader of men. At Antietam, he led the regiment into the Cornfield where they suffered casualties. When they withdrew, the regiment's fallen members marked the furthest point of the Federal advance. In all, the regiment lost sixty-two percent killed or wounded. On the 1st day at Gettysburg, Dawes' men charged the Railroad Cut and captured the 2nd Mississippi along with portions of the 42nd Mississippi and 55th North Carolina. Eight officers handed their swords over to Dawes in surrender. While on veteran furlough in January, 1864, he married Mary Breman Gates. The couple had six children, one of whom, Charles G. Dawes, served as Vice-President of the United States under Calvin Coolidge. After the war Rufus engaged in the wholesale lumber business in Marietta, Ohio. In 1880 he was elected to the Forty-Seventh Congress, but lost his bid for reelection in 1882. He returned to Marietta and returned to the wholesale lumber business. Daves remained active in Republican politics, veteran affairs, and civic activities even after ill health confined him to a wheelchair. He died at Marietta on August 1st, 1899, and was buried in Marietta, Ohio at the Oak Grove Cemetery. (Perhaps you can pay your respects at his gravesite someday?). Dawes was a man of excellent breeding and education, and this is apparent in his journal. His style is sharp and vigorous, sparing no detail of war for squeamish readers. This 367 page reprint costs around $ 35.00.
6th Wisconsin, "An Irishman in the Iron Brigade: The Civil War Memoirs of James P. Sullivan, Sergeant, 6th Wisconsin," by Lance J. Herdegen and William J. K. Beaudot. Readers may catch a sneezable whiff of deja vu from this addition to Fordham's Irish in the Civil War series because J.P. Sullivan's recollections make up a significant part of the authors' blockbuster 1990 regimental history of the 6th Wisconsin-In the Blood Railroad Cut at Gettysburg. Rather than using extracted quotes to support its broader topic, however, An Irishman in the Iron Brigade presents the sergeant's complete memoirs in their original form as a dozen newspaper pieces by "Mickey of Company K," published between 1883 and 1886. These articles. These articles do not form a seamless history of the 6th, but are snapshots of the regiment's life, ranging from camp to the battlefield. Tied together by relevant commentary and helpful footnotes from Beaudot and Herdegen, Sullivan tells of combats at Brawner Farm, 2nd Bull Run, South Mountain, Fitz Hugh's Crossing, Gettysburg, and Weldon Railroad, while 5 other articles focus on soldier's life. The authors also provide an outline of Sullivan's life along with 3 of his poems. As might be expected, Sullivan's strongest passages appear in his account of the 6th Wisconsin's Gettysburg charge. He invigorates the particulars of combat with an acolyte's reverence and the knowledge of having been there. Taken not with film and camera, his images were seared into his memory through experience. The sergeant is at his comical best in describing an afternoon of drilling 2 fresh fish-a pigeon-toed diminutive son of Erin and a former subject of Koenig Wilhelm over 6 feet and of old Frederick the Great. This book does not overflow with stereotyped Irish vernacular; but Mickey of Company K occasionally lets slip a few times with the "fighting of my reace" or a fellow soldier "whose ancestor, like my own, was some of the "rale ould kind" and who was aware of the proclivit of our race to engage in a ruction of any kind. (reviewed by Ben Maryniak), 208 pages, 1993 issue, cost $ 28.00.
James P. Sullivan was 17 when he started off for the front in 1861, and he was present in the battlefields most of the next four years; when not recuperating from one or another of his four wounds. The authors, who are editors, have done a wonderful job of collecting and annotating Sullivan's writings, which first appeared in the Milwaukee Telegraph in the 1880's. The material has been collected together here for the first time. Their notes are exhaustive, the bibliography useful, and the index very complete and comprehensive, which are matters all too often overlooked when old materials are brought to life for us in these times. And there are pictures of the important personalities who relate to the story. Sullivan served in the 6th Wisconsin with the Iron Brigade, and together they fought at Brawner Farm, 2nd Bull Run, South Mountain, Chancellorsville, at the railroad cut at Gettysburg, and on with the Army of the Potomac in 1864. These are not a collection of letters. They are instead Sullivan's recollections, put down 20 years after the events. So, although first hand, they have that different tone which soldier's writings took as time passed, the sound of proud soldiers recollecting events perhaps in their best light, rather than in the light of the moment, when a much wider mix of emotions might be recorded. The old soldiers rarely recollected times when they were scared or less than brave; they were all heroes in their own minds as the real war drifted back in the distance of time. Some of what he says is the endless debate which the old soldiers carried on in the 1880's, arguing about who was where, and who did what, when, but most of it has meat for anyone interested in the long march of the Iron Brigade of the West. And the editor's notes will go a long way in steering you toward a continuing study of these men.

6th Wisconsin, "In the Bloody Railroad Cut at Gettysburg," by Lance J. Herdegen and William J.K. Beaudot. Originally published in 1990 by the Morningside Bookstore, Dayton, Ohio, with 389 pages. In the Bloody Railroad Cut at Gettysburg, Herdegen and Beaudot focus on the key role the 6th Wisconsin played in capturing over 200 Confederates in the unfinished railroad cut. Their action in wrecking Joe Davis' brigade prevented the Confederates from sweeping the Iron Brigade from McPherson's Ridge before the remainder of the First U.S. Army Corps and the Eleventh U.S. Army Corps could be deployed. This book examines in detail this action and the claim of Colonel Edward Fowler, 14th Brooklyn, that his regiment charged the railroad cut with assistance from the 95th New York and the 6th Wisconsin. As a bonus the latest research on how the Iron Brigade was uniformed at Gettysburg is provided in an appendix written by Howard Madaus. Photos, maps, 1991 reprint, 389 page paperback, cost $ 15.00.
