This article in the Goodhue County Republican listed the Red Wing volunteers who enlisted to serve in the Civil War.

The "Goodhue Volunteers"

The "Goodhue Volunteers" is the first
company, we believe, outside of the organized
military of the State that has been offered to
the Governor under his call for one regiment
of men. Immediately upon the issue of the
Governors proclamation a movement was set
on foot for the raising of a company in this
county, and within five days the ranks were
full, and some to spare. It is the intention to
have the company composed of one hundred
men, but, as early as last Tuesday, one hun-
dred and fourteen had offered their services.
Much credit is due to Mr. Colvill, the popu-
lar Captain of the company, for the great suc-
cess that has attended the movement. The
volunteers are, without exception, fine looking
fellows, and above the average run of men in
physical capacity. Most of them, from their
habits of life, are inured to hard labor, hence,
when proficient in the drill of the service, will
make the best of soldiers. They are all "ea-
ger for the fray," and when called upon to act,
we know they will render a good account. It
required much nerve and determination in
some cases to withstand the appeals of affec-
tion and the entreaties of friends, but con-
scious that the cause was worthy of the sacrifice
they turned not away from their purpose. -
The blessings of their country go with them.
The company are ready, and are now awaiting
marching orders.
