OLD ABE, THE WAR EAGLE: Historical marker at Highway 138 near Jims Falls. The mascot of Wisconsin troops with the reputation of flying high and screeching loudly during battles.
The Chippewa Indians captured it in northern Wisconsin and sold the eagle to a local farmer. Old Abe was at 42 battles, only losing a few feathers. After the war, Old Abe lived in a special room in Madison at the Capitol.
