Colonel Hans Christian Heg

Honoring Colonel Heg of the 15th Wisconsin Infantry. The 6th Wisconsin Battery shared in their 1st Battle together with the 15th at the Battle of Island #10. Heg was a Norwegian Immigrant and an anti-slavery activist. Born 1829, Heg was mortally wounded Sep. 18 1863 in the Battle of Chickamauga and died Sep. 20 1863. We honor this Soldier for his brave service to Wisconsin.

The A-Tent

This is an  A-Tent.  During the Civil War an Artillery Unit would have used this tent and

was shared by at least 4 men, possibly more.  In our modern day use it houses one or two soldiers, usually with cots. Our clothing and food may be stored underneath. Yes we do sleep well like this.  We don't go to motels, and our food is cooked over the fire in cast iron or tin skillets.
