WIS2-02N – 2nd Wisconsin Infantry Regiment, 1861 (4 pcs) | John Jenkins Designs

WIS2-02N brings together four soldiers of the 2nd Wisconsin Infantry Regiment, providing collectors with an excellent foundation for building the regiment as it appeared during the opening year of the American Civil War.

The 2nd Wisconsin was organised in 1861 and was quickly sent east for active service. On 21 July it fought at the First Battle of Bull Run, where inexperienced Union and Confederate armies confronted one another in the first major land battle of the war.

The regiment's story, however, was only beginning. It later became one of the original Wisconsin components of the famous Iron Brigade, a formation whose reputation was forged through repeated participation in some of the Eastern Theatre's fiercest battles.

The four-figure format gives WIS2-02N considerable presence. Rather than displaying the soldiers in a perfectly straight line, they can be mixed among the other WIS2 releases to suggest a formation moving, regrouping or preparing to engage the enemy.

Available from The Military Workshop – a substantial four-piece John Jenkins Designs set representing the 2nd Wisconsin during the formative first year of the Civil War.
