The Forty-second Wisconsin Infantry Regiment was organized at Camp Randall, Madison, WI, and the last company mustered into the service of the United States on September 7, 1864. The regiment left the state on Sept. 20 proceeding at once to Cairo, IL, where it was stationed in discharge of post and garrison duty.
On the 25th of October Companies B, E, G, H and K were ordered to Springfield, IL, for provost duty, at which point this battalion remained until April, 1865, when all but Company B re-assembled at Cairo, and was engaged in garrison and guard duty until the regiment was ordered to return to Wisconsin. It reached Madison on June 20, 1865, and was shortly thereafter mustered out and disbanded.
