A Union Army officer during the American Civil War, Franklin Aretas Haskell was killed at the Battle of Cold Harbor. Haskell penned a well-known Gettysburg narrative that was released after his death. Born in Tunbridge, Vermont, Haskell was the son of Aretas and Anna E. Folsom Haskell. He relocated to Wisconsin to work at his brother Harrison's legal business as a law student. After earning his degree from Dartmouth College in 1854, he went back to Madison, Wisconsin, to start a legal practice. Haskell took on the role of drill instructor for a militia company at this time. Haskell joined in Col. Lysander Cutler's 6th Wisconsin Infantry of Brig. Gen. Rufus King's Brigade when the Civil War broke out. The Iron Brigade was the eventual name given to this brigade. Up until April 1862, he held the rank of first lieutenant while serving as the regiment's adjutant. After that, he was appointed assistant-de-camp to Brig. Gen. John Gibbon, the newly appointed Commander of the Iron Brigade. Haskell participated in both the Maryland and Northern Virginia campaigns while serving with the Iron Brigade. Haskell accompanied Gibbon when he was elevated to command of the 2nd Division, I Corps, and continued to support him. This division participated in the Fredericksburg Battle.
