SOLD!!!

A nice bust up view of Corporal Robert G. Crubaugh.  Signed on the front of the card under the image is "Robt Crubaugh - Privt - Co "H" - 11th Wis" in ink.  There is no backmark on this image.  Crubaugh mustered in in October, 1861 and mustered out Sept. 1865.  He must have been busted because he mustered in as a Corporal.

 

The 11th Wisconsin Infantry started their battle experience at Bayou Cache, Arkansas.  The regiment patroled along the Mississippi River until it was swept up in Grant's push toward Vicksburg.  The 11th fought at Port Gibson, Champion's Hill, the Big Black River, and Vicksburg.  The regiment received a special compliment from Colonel Stone, brigade commander, at Port Gibson.  At the Big Black the regiment led the charge which carried the enemy's works, and captured several hundred prisioners.  At Vicksburg it's loss was heavy, the regiment occupying open ground which was swept by Confederate bullets.  The regiment fought General Forrest in Northen Mississippi and moved to Louisiana.  The regiments last battle was Fort Blakely, Alabama.  The 11th Wisconsin was among one of the first regiments to place it's colors on the enemy's parapet in the face of murderous fire.  The 11th Wisconsin was mustered out in September, 1865.
