Gustavus Andrew Bronson - Private
Gustavus, son of Nils Cornelius Gulbrandsen, was born 20 November 1841 in Christiana, Norway. He enlisted with Company C in Menasha and served three years. He was a musician and entertained the troups with his song and dance. He kept a diary (in my possession) of his time in service, including the Battle of Chickamauga. It is said that the statue dedicated to the Company was carved in his likeness and indeed there is a very strong resemblance to the statue and photographs.
