Troops for The Civil War
Raising the Troops
Their battle cry is ' Michigan ! Remember Michigan!' and Michigan must remember them. We have already a long list of immortal heroes dead in battle. I hope you will, in some appropriate way, place upon the enduring records of the State your appreciation of the valor and patriotic devotion of these brave men. Let us hand down their names to posterity upon an illuminated page, that they may be revered as examples for all time to come. They belong to history now. We must take care that it is rightly written. Your hearty thanks are also due to the gallant men who still uphold the flag of our country in the field, and have lately borne it on to victory over bloody ground. Let us send them warm words of cheer from home. May God give them other and greater victories, and bring them back speedily in peace and triumph. Then, indeed shall heaven's arches ring with glad shouts of welcome.
