The Minnesota 11th Regiment was organized in August and September
1864 and the men were sent to Ft. Snelling near Minneapolis where they were
trained. The original term of service was for three years. John H. Booth
enlisted August 29th. On September 20th the Regiment, now over
1,000 strong, marched to St. Paul and boarded steamboats for the trip south
to La Crosse, Wisconsin. From there they were loaded into boxcars for the
journey to Chicago where they were detained for a week while it was feared
