Company F of the 1st Wisconsin Infantry contained soldiers from Polk, Saint Croix, and Pierce counties in Northwest Wisconsin. Most of them enlisted in August and September, and a few in October, of 1861. These are only the soldiers from Northwest Wisconsin and a few from across the river in Minnesota. For the full company roster, see the Roster of Wisconsin Volunteers, 1861-1865.
The 1st Infantry (3 Years) should not be confused with the 1st Infantry (3 Months). The 3-months regiment was the first raised when President Lincoln put out his first call for troops in the spring of 1861; the 3-year regiment was raised in the late summer of 1861 after those 3-month enlistments had expired. To save space, however, the (3 Years) designation is not included in the list below.
