Fourth Cavalry III
Third by Generals Stanley, Thomas, and Elliott, the spring of 1864, and fifth Colonel Minty676 MICHIGAN IN THE WAK. MICHIGAN IN THE WAK. 67? Generals Kilpatrick and Sherman for gallant conduct during the late campaign. The Governor of Michigan with the two United States Senators, and all the Representatives in Congress, have united in asking of the War Department a star for this successful and brilliant cavalry commander. His friends have ceased to look for justice to this truly worthy officer. When this cruel war is over and history does justice to those that have fought, it will be seen how little minds invested with temporary power, from motives of jealousy so mean that they can hardly be believed, have withheld that which was due honest merit, while blustering pretence and worthless impudence have stolen honors due better men.
