Experience Civil War action as re-enactors gather at the Wade House historic site near Fond du Lac. Madison's Camp Randall was originally a training camp for Civil War recruits, and historian Brett Barker talks about conditions there for Wisconsin's army. Abolitionist and surgeon Chandler Chapman gave three years of his life to the Civil War effort. Letters to and from the Chapman family on the Wisconsin home front reveal the personal toll of the war. Wisconsin gave not only men but supplies essential for the war effort. Wisconsin was known for "wool and wheat." Confederate POWs were also brought north, again to Camp Randall. Their arrival created a public stir, starting with curiosity about the enemy, which turned into sympathy. Those who died here were honored with their own Confederate Cemetery, still well-tended after all these years.
