Michigan Civil War
Eleventh Regiment Infantry
ELEVENTH REGIMENT INFANTRY.
" For God and our country we'll fight till we die;
Here's welcome to wounding and combat and scars,
And the glory of death for the stripes and stars!"
The raising of the 11th Regiment was given by the Secretary of War to Colonel William J. May, of White Pigeon, but met with some just opposition at the time from the Governor, who did not approve of the interference of the War Department with that which he considered was made solely the duty of the Governors of the States, and which that department before long recognized and decided that the whole matter of raising regiments was vested in the Governor.
