Troops for The Civil War
Raising the Troops
On the 4th of February, however, a further notification was received from the Acting Assistant Provost Marshal General of the State, which placed the
entire quota of the State of Michigan, under the call of December, at 30, 745 men, or 30, 745 years of service, which, after deducting the credits to which, they were entitled, placed the quota of the several Congressional Districts as follows:
First District................ 1, 726
Second District.............. 1. 801
Third District............... 1, 918
Fourth District.............. 1, 263
Fifth District................ 1, 329
Sixth District..: ............ 1, 986
Total after deducting credits..................................10, 026
A quota for Michigan of over 30, 000 on a total call of 300, 000, being more than one-tenth of the whole, it is apparent at a glance involves an enormous error in calculation.
