Howgate, who after the war became a controversial figure as the Chief Disbursing Officer for the United States Army Signal Corps in charge of Arctic explorations.[cite news |first=Kenn |last=Harper |authorlink= |coauthors= |title=Henry Howgate |url=http://www.nunatsiaqnews.com/archives/2007/710/71026/opinionEditorial/columns.html |work= |publisher=Nunatsiaq News |date=October, 2007 |accessdate=2008-04-14] ]In September 1862, Wisner was stricken with typhoid fever while en route to the regiment's deployment and died in Kentucky.
