Addendum And Errata
ADDENDUM,

   Of interest to the comrades is the following contributed by Comrade E. M.
Kanouse:

   Number of miles by tramp, tramp, tramp, from last of March, 1862, to Jan. 2,
1863, was 1,390—scouting raids not counted, this covers from Nashville to Savannah,
Corinth, Columbia, Waynesboro, Pittsburg Landing, Tuscumbia, Iuka, Florence,
Huntsville, Athens, Stevenson, Bridgeport, Battle Creek, Jasper, Dechard, Tullahoma,
Murfreesboro, La Vergne, Nashville; again, Bowling Green, Cave City, Munofordsville,
[sic] Elizabeth Town, West Point and Louisville, in four different states. Turning
south at Louisville we passed through Perryville, Crab Orchard, Mt. Vernon,
Bardstown, Danville, Scottsville, Somerset, Gallatin and Nashville, then to La
Vergne and Murfreesboro, thence to Woodbury, Minnville, Jasper, Ringold, [sic]
passing Chattanooga and Rossville to Chickamauga and to Chattanooga. Indirectness
and individual marches by details on steamers, scouting and Atlantic campaign, with
the march from Chattanooga to Murfreesboro and back in 1864. The first move made
from Racine to Louisville and return to Madison would, if computed, we think, foot
up in all to as many miles covered by any company in the service.

   It has been stated that fifty-two-men went into action on the guns on the 20th of
Sept.; of these of the 26 lost were eight non-commissioned officers out of nine
present.

   It is interesting to note that the survivors of the battery, almost entirely
occupy respectable positions in society, the largest per cent are farmers, then
manufacturers, merchants, judges, doctors, lawyers, mechanics, legislators, mayors,
postmasters, town officers and business men complete the list.

   An association of survivors was organized in 1896, and reunions are held from
time to time.

   Present officers of association are: J. W. Ostrander, Chicago, Ill., Pres.; 1st
V. Pres., Ira E. Smith, Dartford, Wis.; 2d V. Pres., H. T. Hunt, Hortonville, Wis.;
3rd V. Pres., W. H. Williams, Meadow Valley, Wis.; Cyrus Weber, 4th V. Pres.,
Shesburne, Minn,; H. H. G. Bradt, Sec'y, Treas. and Historian.

   The 1st Tuesday in Sept., 1902, a reunion will be held at Dartford, Wis.

History of the Services of the Third Battery Wisconsin Light Artillery

DEDICATORY

This book is reverently and affectionately dedicated to the Memory of our dead and
living Comrades, and to all patriotic relatives of the 3d Battery Wisconsin Light
Artillery.

PREFACE
   This book is not expected to cover all the service of the Battery, many facts at
this date are lost which will detract from its comprehensiveness.

    We still have a mass of information in connection with the Battery which for
sufficient reasons we cannot at present use.

    It is of a reminiscent character and very interesting and should be preserved
in
book form; likewise there should be added several other illustrations, notably one
of the Tablet placed upon the ground of our last battle and destruction.

    I will most gratefully thank in the name of the Association, those who have
responded so freely and generously to the request for information.

   Among the contributors of incidents and essential memoranda I will mention the
names of Esau Beaumont, E. D. Case, Wm. Plackett, Harlan S. Howard, E. M. Kanouse,
Alf. Lounsbury, Ed. Harroune, Lew D. Williams, E. G. Jackson, Ansel Hayes, Maj. W.
J. Colburn, Ira E. Smith and others.

                                     H. H. G. BRADT,
                                                  Secretary.
