Burlington, Wis. Civil War Deaths on October 8, 1862

While researching the role played by Burlington, Wisconsin, in the Civil War, I came across a list of men who died in the war from Burlington and the surrounding area.  I noticed that there were a lot of men killed on one particular day, October 8, 1862.

That date would be the Battle of Perryville in Kentucky, also called Chaplin Hills or Chaplin's Hill.  It was the end of the Confederate Heartland Offensive.
