On November 15, historian and genealogist Wayne Kling will give a presentation describing the service of Ho-Chunk and other Native American warriors in the American civil war. Many Ho-Chunk warriors from Wisconsin served in the Union Army during the civil war.

Mr. Kling is a retired military veteran, having served 30 years in the United States Army. He is a long-time civil war collector and historian and is currently employed as a security officer for the Ho-Chunk Nation. Wayne is also a member and past secretary of the Monroe, Juneau and Jackson County Genealogical Society, the American Legion, and Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War, Old Abe Camp No. 8 at Omro, Wisconsin.

Join us for what will be a very informative discussion of this relatively unknown story of the Ho-Chunk nation’s service in the civil war. Wayne’s presentation begins at 7:00 p.m. in the Main Auditorium of the La Crosse Public Library, 8^th and Main Streets. Free and open to the public.
