Troops for The Civil War
Raising the Troops
The Governor alluded to them in the following beautiful and kindly language:
"Again, and for the last time, I commend the Michigan troops to your continued care and support. They have never failed in their duty to the country or to the State. Upon every great battle field of the war their shouts have been heard and their sturdy blows have been delivered for the Union and victory. Their hard earned fame is the treasure of every household in the State, and the red blood of their veins has been poured out in large measure to redeem the rebellious South from its great sin and curse.
