Brief History[edit | edit source]
The 15th Regiment, Wisconsin Infantry was organized at Madison, Wisconsin, and it was mustered in February 14, 1862.[1] This regiment was also known as the Scndinavin Regiment since almost all of the soldiers were from Norway with some from Denmark and Sweden.[2]
Companies "A," "B" and "E" were mustered out December 1, 1864; Company "C" was mustered out January 1, Companies "F" and "G" were mustered out January 14, Companies "I" and "K" February 11 and Companies "D" and "H" were mustered out February 13, 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.
