| Summary | "Three Wisconsin Cushings" by Theron Wilber Haight is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book chronicles the lives of Howard B., Alonzo H., and William B. Cushing, three brothers from a pioneering family in Wisconsin, who became notable figures during the Civil War. Through their stories, the book likely explores themes of sacrifice, valor, and the familial bonds that were forged in the face of adversity. At the start of the narrative, the author lays a foundational context about the emigration of the Cushing family from New England, driven by dissatisfaction and hardship following the War for Independence. This historical backdrop sets the stage for understanding the resilience displayed by the Cushing brothers as their mother navigates the challenges of frontier life in Wisconsin. The opening portions delve into the family's pioneering experiences, highlighting their journey and establishing the purpose of the book: to honor the Cushing brothers' contributions and legacy as they rise to prominence amid the tumult of the Civil War.
