History Of The 6th Regiment WI Infantry
SIXTH REGIMENT.

  The several companies composing the Sixth regiment were ordered to rendezvous, at
Camp Randall, about the 25th of June, 1861. Under the direction of Colonel Lysander
Cutler, the regimental organization was soon effected, and the regiment was mustered
into United States service on the 16th of July. Twelve days afterward, on the 28th,
they left the state for active service, under orders to proceed to Harrisburg,
Penn., where they remained until the 3d of August, at which date they moved by rail
to Baltimore, Md. Proceeding to Washington on the 7th, they encamped on Meridian
Hill, joining at that place the command of General Rufus King, which has since
become so justly celebrated under the name of the "Iron Brigade of the West."
