C 8th Wis. Regt. In the spring of 1861, an eaglet was found in a tree on the Flambeau River by Sky Chief, a Flambeau Indian who later sold him to Mrs. Dan McCann of Jim Falls for a sack of corn. In August, 1861, Dan McCann tried to sell the bird to a Civil War company forming at Chippewa Falls, but failing, carried it to Eau Claire where Captain John Perkins was organizing Company C. Capt. Perkins hesitated about enlisting such a strange volunteer, but accepted the new recruit from the Chippewa Valley after R.E. Wilson (for whom this park was named) argued, Nothing could be better chosen, not even the flag itself, to insure fame and success. S.M. Jefferson, a civilian, purchased the bird for two dollars and fifty cents and presented it to Co. C. The eagle was sworn into U.S. service and his first bearer, James McGinnes of Eau Claire, trained the eagle to ride on his perch beneath the Stars and Stripes and to obey various commands. Company C. left Eau Claire on Sept. 6, 1861, on the steamboat Stella Whipple for La Crosse and on to Madison by railroad. Old Abe was named in Madison in honor of his commander-in-chief, Abraham Lincoln. Company C became the Eagle Company and the Eighth Wisconsin Regiment became the Eagle Regiment. Old Abe was carried as a mascot through thirty-six battles or skirmishes of the Civil War. At Corinth, Mississippi, rebel General Price, knowing of the fame of Old Abe, realized his capture would electrify the South. He ordered his men to take him at any cost. I would rather capture Old Abe than a whole brigade. Old Abe was adored by his soldiers. In battle he was always able to locate his regiment and company. His enlistment ended Sept. 1864, after three years of service. At the close of the war career Old Abe was presented by the Eagle Company to the state of Wisconsin. A place was provided for him at the state capitol where he was viewed by thousands. In March 1881, a fire started in the state capitol and as a result of smoke inhalation Old Abe died a few days later."

It was designed to provide freedom and justice to all Americans. However, it was the soldiers who went into the battlefields and fought, often giving their lives, that made the Bill of Rights a reality and gave Americans the freedoms they enjoy. America's Armed Forces on land, the High Seas, and in the air enforced the cause of freedom. Throughout the history of this country, it has been the American Armed Forces that protected those rights and made our country what it is today. Because of the soldier, we have earned the right to be what we are...free Americans. It is the Soldier... It is the Soldier not the reporter who has given us freedom of the press It is the Soldier not the poet who has given us freedom of speech It is the Soldier not the campus organizer who has given us freedom to demonstrate It is the Soldier not the lawyer who has given us the right to a fair trail It is the Soldier who salutes the flag who serves under the flag whose coffin is draped by the flag Who allows the protester to burn the flag.
