Troops for The Civil War
Raising the Troops
In 1865 an additional amount of $25, 000 was set apart for that purpose.
Under the law referred to six agents were appointed, and entered upon this duty: Benjamin Vernor, at Detroit; Dr. J. Tunnecliffe, Jr., at Washington, D. O.; Luther B. Willard, at Nashville, Tenn.; J. B. Gillman, at Louisville, Ky.; Weston Flint, at St. Louis, Mo.; and Darius Clark, in New York city. Daring the latter part of the war, D. A. Millard was employed at the Washington agency.
The necessity for these agencies became more and more apparent everv day as the war progressed, proving of immense benefit to the Michigan troops in general, and particularly to those who found it necessary to accept pecuniary assistance.
