When America fought its bloodiest war, Michigan sent over
90,000 troops. The First Michigan was the first western regiment to respond to
Abraham Lincoln’s call for troops, leading to his famous exclamation “Thank God
for Michigan!” History buffs will be delighted with Michigan Civil War Landmarks by
David Ingall & Karin Risko. With over 70 monuments in the lower peninsula
alone, there is probably one close enough to visit this week. If you are the
least bit curious about Michigan’s role in the War Between the States take a
look at this book soon! DB
