First Wisconsin Cavalry in the Capture of Jefferson Davis was originally prepared substantially as it is now pre sented, at the request of Comrades of the G. A. R., and has already been given before a number of the different Posts. It has been put into its present form for the reason that it is believed it will be a pleasure to the surviving members of the regiments, and to their children and friends to have the same for convenient perusal. My personal recollection has been re freshed as far as possible by re-reading the official records and reports made at the time, and also by letters and correspondence had with persons who took part in the capture.
