Civil War
FOURTH REGIMENT INFANTRY
The fine appearance of the 4th while passing through Cleveland brought from the "Leader" of that city the following general notice of Michigan troops:
"When we see the splendidly armed and equipped regiments from Michigan pass through here on their way to the seat of war, and compare their appearance with that of the regiments which recently left Camp Cleveland, it makes us almost ashamed of Ohio, and inclines us to inquire in the mildest and most collected manner, why it is that Michigan in the same length of time, sent 3 regiments to the field prepared for service, while Ohio, who boasts of her enterprise and patriotism, sends from her camps as regiments, mere mobs of men, half uniformed, unarmed, and wholly without drill. "
