Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Record of Service of Michigan Volunteers in the Civil War: 1861-1865 The compilation of the military history of each soldier of the Civil War (who was a resident of the State of Michigan at the time he enlisted), for publication and distribution has been the subject of controversy for years. The magnitude of such a work, together with the cost of publication, the exhaustive research required and the amount of clerical services necessary in its compilation, have been large factors in postponing, from time to time, the consideration of the subject. To comply as far as possible with this demand an admirable history was prepared by Adjutant General John Robertson, a few years ago, entitled "Michigan in the War," and gratuitously distributed through the generosity of the state to the surviving soldiers of the war and to the families of those who perished. But this work was general in character, referring mostly to regimental organizations, and contained the military biography of commissioned officers only. The enlisted men of the army who endured the hardships and suffered the perils of war considered it due themselves and their children that their names should appear of record in the archives of their country and their services noted, that future generations might know the honorable part their ancestors bore in the memorable conflict known as the Civil War. Such a record will ever be a source of patriotic pride to the soldier who did his duty whether he served in the ranks or in command of divisions or corps, and an inspiration to the youth of the country who must in the future assume the civic and military responsibilities of this grand republic. At the annual encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic, Department of Michigan, held at Pontiac, June 11 and 12, 1902, the following resolution was passed unanimously: "Resolved: That the Department of Michigan, Grand Army of the Republic, in encampment assembled, hereby request of the legislature and the Governor of Michigan that immediate provision be made for the publication of the record of the officers and enlisted men who served from this state during the Civil War in form substantially the same as those published by other states, notably New Hampshire, Connecticut and Ohio." The Department Commander appointed a committee on legislation consisting of C. E. Foote, Kalamazoo, Col. Fred Schneider, Lansing, and Alfred Milnes, Coldwater.
