1862 21st Cincinnati Crossing Pontoon Saturday Sept Wisconsin
EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking print captures the 21st Regiment of Wisconsin Volunteers crossing the pontoon bridge in Cincinnati, Ohio, on Saturday, September 13, 1862. The Union soldiers are seen marching steadfastly across the bridge, which was built to facilitate the transportation of troops and supplies during the American Civil War. The 21st Wisconsin Volunteers, also known as the "Flying Camp," was a distinguished regiment that saw action in several major battles, including Shiloh, Perryville, and Chickamauga. The regiment was led by a number of brave and experienced officers, some of whom are identified in this print. Among them are Colonel James T. Lloyd, who commanded the regiment from its inception until his resignation in 1863; Lieutenant Colonel James H. Gilpatrick, who took command after Colonel Lloyd's resignation; and Major John H. Haskell, who was later promoted to lieutenant colonel and commanded the regiment during the Battle of Chickamauga. The pontoon bridge was an essential component of the Union Army's logistical efforts during the war, allowing troops and supplies to be transported across rivers and other bodies of water. The construction and maintenance of these bridges were often dangerous and time-consuming tasks, but they were crucial for the movement of troops and the prosecution of the war. This print offers a fascinating glimpse into the daily life and logistical challenges faced by Union soldiers during the Civil War. The determination and resolve of the soldiers as they cross the bridge is a testament to their commitment to the cause of preserving the Union and ending the slavery.
