When the 1st Michigan Volunteer Infantry regiment arrived in Washington, DC, President Lincoln exclaimed: "Thank God for Michigan!" 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 "The Boy General," George Armstrong Custer, and Officer Norman Hall, who was stationed at Fort Sumter when the war began.

Download Michigan at Antietam Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
This Civil War study examines the role played by Michiganders in the Battle of Antietam, shedding new light on their sacrifices and contributions. The Battle of Antietam remains the bloodiest day in American history, and the people of Michigan played a prominent role both in the fighting and the events surrounding it. In Michigan at Antietam, Jack Dempsey and Brian James Egan—both Civil War historians and Michigan natives—explore the state’s many connections to the historic conflict. Dempsey reveals the state's connections to the Lost Order, one of the Civil War’s greatest mysteries. He also delves into George A. Custer's role as a staff officer in combat. Most importantly, he mourns the extraordinary losses Michiganders suffered, including one regiment losing nearly half its strength at the epicenter of the battle. The Wolverine State's contributions to secure the Union and enable the Emancipation Proclamation are vast and worthy of a monument on the battlefield. The authors provide research and analysis that shed new insights on the role of Michigan soldiers and civilians during the epic struggle.
