Organizations
In 1863 a company known as the "Provost Guard" was raised and organized by Captain Erastus D. Robinson, Detroit, with John Vanstan, Detroit, as First Lieutenant, and Hubbard Smith, Detroit, as Second Lieutenant. This company was mustered into service January 3d, 1863, under authority from the Secretary of War, for duty at Detroit Barracks and served until May 9th, 1865, when it was mustered out of service at Detroit.
The number of men from Michigan who served in organizations of other States and in the regular army and navy, so far as reported, will be found quite inconsiderable when compared with the aggregate of troops, and is as follows:
Company A, 23d Illinois, 281; 33d Illinois,
Civil War
