Ozaukee County's
War History
by Daniel E. McGinley

as extracted from THE PORT WASHINGTON STAR
May 6, 1896



Preface

Hon. D. E. McGinley has contracted to write for THE PORT WASHINGTON STAR a series of articles relating to the War History of Ozaukee County, 1861-65, beginning with Ozaukee County's War Record, which will run through five issues of THE STAR; to be followed by brief historical sketches of the Ozaukee Rifles or Co. K 16th Wisconsin, Capt. Peter Spehn's Co. I, 9th Wisconsin, Co. H, 24th Wisconsin and of squads of boys from Ozaukee in several other Wisconsin companies and regiments; and to close with Personal Sketches of a number of gallant Ozaukeeans, living and dead, who made proud records while fighting for the old flag.

It is expected that these articles will run through twenty or more issues of THE STAR, and will be replete with facts of local and general interest. They will be as historically correct as it will be possible to make them; will contain much local history heretofore unwritten, and will be very interesting to old and young alike. Those who lived in war time will be much pleased; students of history will find valuable information in them, and they will be instructive and entertaining informational for all.

The opening chapters will be printed in THE STAR on May 16th, 1896.

You will want to read these articles. Send FIFTY CENTS to the publisher of THE STAR and get the paper for six months.

Address all letters to A. D. Bolens, Port Washington, Wis.
