Three Wisconsin Cushings A sketch of the lives of Howard B., Alonzo H. and William B. Cushing, children of a pioneer family of Waukesha County

"Three Wisconsin Cushings" by Theron Wilber Haight is a historical narrative from the early 1900s that follows the remarkable lives of three brothers, Howard B., Alonzo H., and William B. Cushing, raised in a pioneering Wisconsin family, who distinguished themselves during the Civil War. It likely explores themes of sacrifice, honor, and the strong family connections formed in challenging times. The story starts by explaining the Cushing family's move from New England due to problems after the Revolutionary War. This part shows the toughness of the Cushing brothers as their mother deals with the tough life of living on the Wisconsin frontier. The beginning parts examine how the family settled new land and why this book was written, which is to celebrate the Cushing brothers' important actions and lasting impact as they become well-known during the Civil War.
