Brief History[edit | edit source]
The 31st Regiment, Wisconsin Infantry . Companies "A," "B," "C," "D," "E" and "F"
were organized at Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin, and were mustered in October 9 1862. Companies "G," "H," "I" and "K" were organized at Camp Utley, Racine, Wisconsin, and were mustered in December 24, 1862. It was in the Grand Review May 24. Companies "A" to "F" were mustered out June 20, and Companies "G" to "K" were mustered out July 8, 1865. [1]
Companies in this Regiment with the Counties of Origin[edit | edit source]
Men often enlisted in a company recruited in the counties where they lived though not always. After many battles, companies might be combined because so many men were killed or wounded. However if you are unsure which company your ancestor was in, try the company recruited in his county first.
