Civil War American National Cemeteries
The National cemeteries, where rest the heroic dead, have always had the required aid from Michigan. The State has never failed to make ready and substantial response to all calls made for means to improve and beautify these silent cities of the dead.
By an act of the Legislature, approved February 3d, 1864, the sum of $3, 500 of the war fund was appropriated "for the purpose of paying the proportion of this State of the estimated expense of preparing the ground, furnishing the Soldiers' National Cemetery, at Gettysburg, in the State of Pennsylvania, and of making improvements upon that portion thereof which is set apart to this State, " which sum the Governor was authorized to disburse for said purposes.
