Infantry Correspondence Dated; July 17, 1862               

While many of Wisconsins soldiers served valiantly, and so many gave their lives
for the Union cause, by no means were they all Saints. Examples of
soldiers misbehavior can be gleaned from Regimental records. Private
Gustav H. Hollenbeck served in the La Crosse County Light Guards
(Company B, 2nd Wisconsin Infantry). The following letter reveals
that Hollenbeck, was less than a model soldier:

Office of Provost] Marshall
Fredericksburg, [Virginia]
July 17, 1862   

Colonel  OConner             
2nd Regiment Wisconsin
Volunteers               

Sir,               

I send you the person of Private Hollenbeck of B Company your regt. 
arrested today by the Provost Guard, with a Captains coat on, with pockets 
full of Brownsville [counterfeit] money, five dollars of which he had passed,
and fraudulent dice, &c.               
It is reported that he has been a long time in this town in citizens 
clothing ready to engage in any light amusement that might turn up. 

I regard him a fit subject for discipline & therefore return him to you.
Respectfully
Jno. Mansfield
Colonel Provost Guard                 

Just two months later, Private Hollenbeck would step off into the inferno of Antietam. 

A casualty report, dated September 17, 1862, and from the 2nd Wisconsin
Volunteers, would list him as having been wounded on this date.
Gustav Hollenbeck Co. B, wounded in Side, Slight. 
If Pvt. Holenbecks wound didnt knock the starch out of him, maybe 
his being a prisoner of war at Gettysburg, did?
