The 7th Wisconsin Infantry, Company G, was not originally a company from northwest Wisconsin, but a number of men—including many Ojibwe (Chippewa) Indians and “half-breeds”—were recruited in the spring of 1864 to fill the roster. Most of these men were from Burnett County, and a few from Polk County. Many of them were recruited by George W. Davis, himself a recent recruit. When taken to La Crosse to formally enlist, many of them are listed in the published Roster of Wisconsin Volunteers, 1861-1865 as being from La Crosse County, but when you look at the “Red Book”—the original hand-written roster—you see they are from Burnett County.

The Civil War and Northwest Wisconsin 
Joseph King is buried at Gordon. The name “King” derived from the old fur trade name of “Roi” (which means “King”). Alexis La Prairie is buried at Chittamo. George Metawash is buried at Danbury. That name was changed to Matrious.
