  COMPANY HISTORY

     The "Madison Zouaves" began their organization in June 1861 as a company of the Wisconsin State Militia, with members being recruited in the town of Madison, Dane County. The original purpose was to recruit members under the age of 18, who had been turned away from active service with the volunteers, and to ensure that they were properly instructed and trained the men elected William F. Vilas as their first Captain. Captain Vilas had served with the Wisconsin State Militia for a number of years as a member of the Governor's Guard, and was present when that company took part in a competition against Captain Elmer E. Ellsworth's 'United States Zouaves Cadets' in 1860.

    As part of the State Militia the company took part from 1861 to 1862 in a number of drills, demonstrations, re-cruiting efforts and such, until August 1862. Per General Order No. 22, Wisconsin Adjutant General's Office, the company was officially accepted into active service and assigned to the then organizing Twenty-Third (23rd) Infan-try Regiment at Camp Randall in Madison. Efforts were immediately begun to recruit the company to full strength, and in short time the necessary number were obtained and the company reported at Camp Randall for active ser-vice. On August 30th, 1862, the men were officially mustered into United States service as Company A of the Twen-ty-Third (23rd) Wisconsin Volunteer Infantry Regiment for the period of three years' service, under the command of Captain William F. Vilas, 1st Lieutenant Sinclair W. Botkin and 2nd Lieutenant Henry Vilas.

    Serving with the regiment throughout its marches, battles and campaigns the regiment concluded its service in Alabama, being officially mustered out of United States service on July 4th, 1865, at Mobile, Alabama. The men were then transported to Madison, where on July 24th, 1865, they were paid off and the company, and regiment, was officially disbanded.

  UNIFORM

    At this time (03.26.2020) the original enlisted uniform of the "Madison Zouaves" is not known; however, there is a surviving example of the officers' uniform.

    Pictured (at left) is the uniform of Captain William F. Vilas, supposed to have been worn at the time of his commanding the company in 1861. It consists of the standard nine button navy blue frock coat, with red cuffs and collar, and trimmed around the collar and cuffs with red worsted trim. This was worn with red wool trousers, topped off by a red fez (not pictured) with buff trim and highly embroidered.

    The uniform was donated by Mary Esther Vilas Hanks (his daughter) in 1900, and is in the collection of the Wisconsin Historical Society.
