[trumpet fanfare]
- Female narrator: "In the summer of 1861, a band of Flambeau Chippewa Indians
was on the trail and camped near the Chippewa River. They discovered a nest of eagles in a nearby tree, and took them along on their journey. They met a man who offered a sack of shelled corn for one of them. They needed food,	so the deal was made. This young eaglet was destined to become famous in the Civil War. A patriotic group of men	from Eau Claire, Wisconsin became the famous Company C.
The young eagle was chosen as a mascot to accompany them. He was christened 'Old Abe.' Above the smoke of battle and rumble of cannons, his victorious scream could always be heard."
Mrs. William Rolfe Marsh.
