CW15- HH Bennett. Wayside Gems. 304. Old Abe - the Wisconsin War Eagle. Chippewa Indians caught Old Abe near the northern Wisconsin community of Park Falls when he was a baby. A Chippewa Indian named Big Sky found a young eaglet along the Flambeau River, and sold the eaglet for a bushel of corn to Daniel McCann, who adopted the bird as a family pet. Eventually, some soldiers from the Eau Claire area bought the young eagle for $2.50 and made him the mascot of their unit --- the 8th Wisconsin Infantry Regiment. They named him "Old Abe" in honor of President Abraham Lincoln. On October 12, 1861, the Eagle Regiment started for the front. In action Old Abe spread his wings and screamed encouragement to his men. The louder the noise in battle, the louder and fiercer were his screams.The eagle served with the regiment in 42 skirmishes and battles and lost only a few feathers. After three years of service, Old Abe was formally presented to the State of Wisconsin on September 26, 1864. A room was equipped for him in the Capitol and a man employed to care for him. His last public appearance occurred at the National Encampment of the G.A.R. in Milwaukee in 1880, where he and General U.S. Grant were honored guests. In 1881, a small fire broke out near his room in the Capitol. Although he wasn't burned, Old Abe got sick from the smoke and died a few weeks later. , Old Abe died March 28 1881. $110 SOLD!
