Some diaries claimed Wisconsin 1st deserved and received the reward money. Other diaries claim it was the Michigan 4th that deserved and received the reward money.

I got confused between the two also, Rick. After reading some of the letters, etc. from soldiers, I finally decided that the 4th Michigan took the lead.
