The regiment was organized at Madison, Wisconsin, but only five companies were raised. Those five companies were mustered as a battalion in April 1865 under the command of Lieutenant Colonel Hiram J. Lewis, and sent to St. Louis, Missouri. They were then sent to Holden, Missouri, to guard workmen on the Pacific Railroad until June 21. The battalion was mustered out on June 28, 1865. During its service the battalion lost nine men to disease. [1] [2]
