29th USCT-- Part 3

War losses of the 29th USCT came to three officers and 43 enlisted killed or mortally wounded.  Another 188 died of disease for a total loss of 234.

Company F was mostly made up of blacks from Wisconsin and there is a living history group representing them.

At the Siege of Petersburg, the 29th's officers were Lt. Col. John A. Bross, Lt.Col. Charles J. Wright (of the 27th USCT) and Major T. Jefferson Brown.
