- History of Northern Wisconsin.
F. W. SACKETT was born in Trumbull County, Ohio, 05 November 1847. Was
brought to Wisconsin by his parents in 1852. Lived on a farm in the town of
Osceola, Fond du Lac County [Wisconsin] until the summer of 1863, wh
enlisted as a Private in Company A, Thirty-eighth Wisconsin Volunteer
Infantry. He served until the close of the war, and was in several
engagements, commencing at the close of the Wilderness fight and ending at
the surrender of LEE [April 1865]. He was on the advance line at the battle
of Hatch's Run, and again at the Petersburg fight.
After being discharged from the service, F. W. SACKETT entered the printing
office of the Fond du Lac "Journal," and after serving an apprenticeship of
eighteen months, started in business with a fellow typo, J. C. WALEHON, and
established the Weyauwega "Times" in Waupaca County, the first Weyauwega
"Times" being issued 20 February 1869.
Mr. SACKETT was nominated for as a member of the Assembly in 1876 and made a
very creditable run, receiving about five hundred more than his party vote.
He sold the paper [the "Times"] in Weyauwega in the winter of 1876, and on 06
January 1877 started the Phillips "Times" in Price County. Upon the
formation of Price County [20 March 1879, from parts of Chippewa and Lincoln
Counties], he was appointed County Clerk, served the balance of the term, and
was elected by a large majority to the same position at the general election
of 1880.

Thirty-eighth Infantry. -- Cols., James Bintliff, Colwert K.
Pier, Lieut.Cols., Colwert K. Pier, Charles L. Ballard; Majs.,
Courtland P. Larkin Robert N. Roberts Charles L. Ballard,
Frank A. Hayward.
This regiment was organized at Camp Randall, Madison, in
March, 1864, and was mustered in April 15. Cos. A, B. C and D
left the state on May 3, being ordered to Arlington heights
and from there to White House, Va., where they were assigned
to the 4th provisional brigade, for guard duty.
On June 9, they were transferred to the Army of the Potomac
and assigned to the 3d brigade, 1st division, 8th corps, but
on the 11th they were transferred to the 1st brigade. They
were under fire in the trenches at Cold Harbor, took position
in the extreme front before Petersburg on June 16 and the
following afternoon charged the enemy's outer line of
intrenchments, capturing them at the bayonet's point.
The same evening they accompanied the general advance,
capturing and occupying a second line of the works. They then
went back to the trenches, where Co. E joined them. Upon the
explosion of the mine July 30, Cos. B and E took part in the
advance upon the enemy's works, capturing a position and
holding it until the afternoon, when they returned to the
trenches.
The regiment continued in the siege and on picket duty until
Aug. 19, when it moved to aid in the capture of the Weldon
railroad, repulsed an attack from three directions
simultaneously and fortified its position. It returned to
Petersburg and in October was under fire for 22 hours at
Hatchers' Run, after which it took position opposite the
"Crater" in the front line, remaining there until spring.
It led the right wing of the victorious assaulting column at
Fort Mahone on April 1, its loss being over half that of the
entire brigade, and entered Petersburg on the 3d.
It was in the grand review at Washington. The one year men
were mustered out at Tenallytown June 2, and the remainder on
July 26.
The original strength of the regiment was 913. Gain by
recruits, 112. It lost by death, 108; desertion, 55; transfer
21; discharge, 208; mustered out, 640.

PETERSBURG, VA.
FEB. 27TH-MARCH 28TH, 1865
Petersburg, Va., Feb. 27-March 28, 1865. Sheridan's
Expedition. On the 27th Maj.-Gen. P. H. Sheridan left
Winchester for an expedition to the front of Petersburg, the
object being the destruction of the Virginia Central railroad,
the James river canal, and the capture of Lynchburg, after
which Sheridan was to join Gen. Sherman's army in North
Carolina or return to Winchester. His forces consisted of the
1st and 3rd cavalry divisions of the Army of the Shenandoah,
respectively commanded by Brig.-Gen. T. C. Devin and Bvt.
Maj.Gen. G. A. Custer; one section of the 2nd and one of the
4th U. S. artillery, and a pontoon train, the total strength
being about 10,000, men. Mount Crawford was reached on March
1, and here about 200 of Rosser's Confederate cavalry were
discovered trying to burn the bridge over the middle fork of
the Shenandoah. Two regiments of Capehart's brigade swam the
river above the bridge, charged and routed Rosser, pursuing
him nearly to Staunton, killing a few of his men and capturing
30 prisoners, with 20 wagons and ambulances, Capehart's loss
being 5 men wounded. This caused Gen. Early to retreat from
Staunton to Waynesboro, where he intrenched a position. At
Staunton Sheridan detached a part of his command for the
destruction of some stores at Swoope's station, and pushed on
with the main column, Custer's division in advance, for
Waynesboro. At Fisherville, 6 miles from Staunton, Custer's
advance encountered the enemy's pickets and drove them rapidly
to Waynesboro. Without waiting for the 1st division to come
up, Custer sent the 2nd brigade against Early's position, to
display the force in the works, and directed Lieut.-Col.
Whitaker to take three regiments of Pennington's brigade to
the extreme right. The 1st Conn., 2nd Ohio and 3rd N. J., all
armed with Spencer carbines, were moved to the right and
dismounted under cover of the woods. When they were in
position to attack, Woodruff's section of horse artillery
opened fire with such vigor that the Confederates were
compelled to lie down behind their embankment. Wells and
Capehart moved their brigades to the attack in front, at the
charge, and at the same time the three regiments on the right
caught the enemy on the flank, the whole movement being so
sudden that Early's men were completely routed and fled in all
directions, leaving 11 pieces of artillery, with their horses
and caissons, 200 wagons loaded with subsistence with their
teams and harness; a large quantity of ammunition; all the
camp equipage and officers' baggage, the headquarters,
papers; 16 battle flags and 1,600 prisoners in the hands of
the Federals.
On the 3rd the expedition moved toward Charlottesville,
which place was reached on the 4th, the bridges' depots, etc.,
between Staunton and Charlottesville having been destroyed
during the march. At Charlottesville the command divided, the
1st division moving to Scottsville on the James river, and the
3rd, with the wagon trains, along the Lynchburg railroad,
destroying the bridges and culverts as far as Buffalo river.
The two divisions came together near New Market, where the dam
and locks on the canal were thoroughly destroyed. At
Duguidsville, on the 8th, the Confederates fired on Devin's
division from across the river, but the 5th U.S. cavalry was
dismounted and covered the retirement of the rest of the
division. All the locks on the canal between Goochland and
Duguidsville were destroyed, as well as large stores of
Cotton, tobacco and subsistence. Columbia was reached on the
1Oth, where the expedition rested for a day, and on the 12th
the march was resumed toward the Virginia Central railroad,
which was struck at Tolersville on the 13th, and several miles
of track torn up. The next day Custer directed his march
toward Ground Squirrel bridge, while Devin moved along the
railroad to the South Anna. Both bridges were destroyed after
a slight skirmish with the guards, in which the 5th U. S.
cavalry captured a number of prisoners and 3 pieces of
artillery. The 1st division was here ordered to move toward
Hanover Court House and the 3rd to push south as far as
Ashland, but upon learning that a considerable force of the
enemy under Longstreet was moving to intercept the expedition,
the two divisions were united, the whole command recrossed the
South Anna and moved along the north bank of the Pamunkey to
White House landing, which was reached on the 18th. Here the
expedition rested until the 25th, when it again took up the
march and two days later rejoined the Army of the Potomac.
During the movement Sheridan's forces captured 1,603
prisoners, 2,154 horses and mules, 16 battle flags, 17 pieces
of artillery and over 2,000 stands of small arms. The line of
march was marked by wholesale destruction. Sixteen large
mills and factories 26 warehouses and 8 railroad depots,
together with their contents of valuable stores, were laid in
ashes, 47 miles of railroad track, 30 miles of telegraph, 49
canal locks, 44 railroad and several wagon bridges, 10
watertanks, and about 40 canal and flatboats all loaded with
provisions, etc., were completely destroyed.
