Uncovering the Original Screaming Eagle: The Untold Story

Old Abe was a bald eagle who became the mascot of the 8th Wisconsin Volunteer Infantry Regiment during the Civil War. He accompanied the soldiers in 37 battles and became a symbol of courage and freedom for the Union. In this video, we follow the remarkable story of Old Abe, from his capture by a Native American chief, to his sale to a group of Wisconsin volunteers, to his heroic deeds on the battlefield, to his postwar fame and legacy. We also see how Old Abe's image was adopted by various organizations and companies, such as the Case Corporation and the 101st Airborne Division. Join us as we celebrate the life and legend of Old Abe, the war eagle of Wisconsin.
