The Badax Tigers were as common a company in as common a regiment as may be found in the annals of the Civil War. They marched, camped, and fought their way through four years of service with their fair share of battle honors and few blemishes to mar their record. They rallied at Shiloh, stood firm at Corinth, laid siege to Vicksburg, rescued Chattanooga, and saved Allatoona. In short, they represented the backbone of the Federal volunteer army from 1861 to 1865. When the original Tigers returned to Viroqua at the close of the war, they numbered only fourteen men out of the more than 100 recruits who had been mustered into service.
This intimate unit history of the Badax Tigers chronicles the experiences of Company C of the 18th Wisconsin Volunteer Infantry during the entire Civil War as seen through the eyes of Private Thomas Jefferson Davis. Daviss letters provide an extraordinarily complete picture of a typical Federal volunteer company in the Civil War. Supplemented by newspaper articles and the letters of some soldiers that were written and intended for publication in local newspapers, The Badax Tigers is a detailed and comprehensive portrait of the Civil War from the perspective of the average soldier.

Unable to obtain an audience at the White House, T. J. Davis never did return to his regiment. He bought eleven army mules at auction and returned to his wife and baby daughter in Wisconsin. Listed as a deserter from his unit, Davis military record was cleared, as were thousands of others, by a general amnesty that was declared by Congress in 1889.
After the war, Thomas J. Davis initially settled his family on a farm near La Crosse, Wisconsin, then moved to Little Sioux, Iowa, in 1872. Losing a sawmill operation to a flood, T. J. and Lucinda Davis moved their growing family of six children to a farmstead in the Red Water Creek area of the Black Hills, South Dakota, in 1877. Upon their retirement from farming in 1891, Davis and his wife moved by covered wagon to the Camas Valley, Oregon. They remained in that location until fire destroyed their home in 1899. The couple returned to South Dakota in 1900 and made their last move to a small house near Belle Fourche in 1907. T. J. Davis died 31 January 1915 in Belle Fourche and was buried in Pine Slope Cemetery.
Ransom J. Chase mustered out of the 42nd Wisconsin on 20 June 1865. Returning to Madison, he resumed his law practice and joined several partnerships over a nine year period. On 20 October 1868, Chase and Mary M. (Baker) Kurtz, a widow, were married at Muncie, Indiana. Bothered for years by the poor health that had forced him to leave the army in 1863, Chase moved with his wife and five children to Sibley, Iowa, in 1874 to recuperate. Within a year he moved to Sioux City, Iowa, built a new law practice, and retired a millionaire in 1883. Chase continued to act in a consulting capacity for corporate interests and became a civic leader in Sioux City. He was a member of the Grand Army of the Republic, the Military Order of the Loyal Legion of the United States, and the Society of the Army of the Tennessee.
