Troops for The Civil War
Raising the Troops
The system of preserving records of credits by sub-districts, required by the law for enrolling and calling out the national forces, did not become practically operative until the 19th of September, 1863. In the books of the War Department enlistments made previous to that date were entered to the credit of the State at large. All that had been made after that were placed directly to the credit of the sub-district furnishing them.
APPROXIMATE NUMBER OF TROOPS
Furnished by the several Counties of the State, prior to November 1st, 1S64. This Table does not include the Three Months' Infantry, Michigan Companies in Regiments of other States, and some 2, 000 additional Soldiers whose residence could not be ascertained.
