Excerpt from Wisconsin Memorial Day Annual 1918 The famous Iron Brigade was composed of the second. Sixth, and seventh Wisconsin, nineteenth Indiana, and twenty fourth Michigan. It was badly cut up in the battle of Gettys burg, and the governors of the three states decided to present to the brigade a fine silk banner in appreciation of its gallantry. This was done at Culpepper Court House, September 17, 1863. It was a great occasion - speeches and music, with cheers for the beautiful banner, which, because of the elegant embroidery put upon it, is said to have cost about a thousand dollars.
