A History and Genealogy Research Site

I am an avid historian of the war of the rebellion of 1861 to 1865, and in particular the Battle of Gettysburg. The information I have on this site is a result of many years of research. I have published this site as an aid to those whose quest for information may be less time consuming than mine. Feel free to download any information that you may want to archive for your personal records.


REGIMENTAL HISTORIES, STATISTICS AND BATTLES !

During the war, Michigan fielded 31 Regiments of "INFANTRY", 11 Regiments of "CAVALRY", 14 Batteries of "ARTILLERY", 1 Regiment of "SHARPSHOOTERS" and 1 Regiment of "ENGINEERS".As the men who volunteered exceeded Michigan's quotas, many men joined "UNITS IN OTHER STATES". Of these 90,000 Michigan men who left their homes, farms, businesses and loved ones many were to become one of 359,755 "DEATHS BY STATES" statistic of the Union deaths in the Civil War. Thousands were to return maimed and disabled, 14,434 never to return at all, most of whom rest beneath a stone marked, "UNKNOWN"; except, to the rest of their comrades, when they arrived at the final "BIVOUAC OF THE DEAD". I have also included a chronological list of every "BATTLE" of the Civil War including casualties. You will also find the action reports included in the Michigan regimental histories of those units who fought there, plus the chain of command for the "ARMY OF THE POTOMAC" , "THE ARMY OF NORTHERN VIRGINIA". At the Battle of Gettysburg.
