Remembering Michigan's Civil War Soldiers (Images of America)

When the 1st Michigan Volunteer Infantry regiment arrived in Washington, DC, President Lincoln exclaimed: â€œThank God for Michigan!â€ The state raised more than 90,000 men to serve during the Civil War, and 69 of them received the Medal of Honor. Notable Michiganders include Gens. Israel Richardson, Orlando Poe, Alpheus Williams, Orlando Willcox, and George Hartsuff, as well as â€œThe Boy General,â€ George Armstrong Custer, and Officer Norman Hall, who was stationed at Fort Sumter when the war began. Featuring images of the 4th Michigan Cavalry, which captured Confederate president Jefferson Davis at the warâ€™s end, and never-before-published photographs of Wolverine soldiers, Images of America: Remembering Michiganâ€™s Civil War Soldiers highlights hundreds of Michiganians who were committed to preserving the Union.
