Wade House Past ...
Well, sometimes, especially at the end of the season, after each one of you have given their all, there are many times people wonder how they are doing and if it is all worth it.
Let me tell you, I need to tell you, I am proud to know the people of the Second Wisconsin, and the Iron Brigade.
Last May,when you came up Capitol Hill, I was breathless, yes, you are all an awesome bunch.
You not only look awesome, but the personality of everyone of you, makes it what it is today...
I have fallen in love with you all,you are a great bunch, and contribute a lot.

Gentlemen,
I am doing some research on the 1861 gray uniform worn by Co.C.
Does anyone know if there is a complete example somewhere?
We are doing this in preparation for 140th Bull Run in 2001.
If anyone knows of an example or a pattern, please drop me a line at company@hotmail.com
<mailto:company@hotmail.com>. Thanks.
Before I forget, Co.C is the process of obtaining a reproduction of the National Colors
that the boys of the 2nd carried off to war in the summer of 1861. We look forward to
carrying this flag over South Mountain in September.
If our pards in Co.H have their Regimental Colors ready in time for the march, the sight
of the two flags with thirty or forty blackhats behind them would be a sight to behold!
