5th Wisconsin at Williamsburg

Hi all,

Looking for primary accounts of the 5th Wisconsin at Williamsburg (their first fight). They lost 79 and had a big part in annihilating the 5th NC and 24th VA. Have lots of sources on them, but always our for more.

As a side note, the field where they fought is one of the last remaining undeveloped parcels left of the battlefield. If you would like to be on the mailing list for the Williamsburg Battlefield Trust (new organization to preserve what is left), please let me know.

Thanks!
