Michigan has long been proud of its military service, but many of its early accomplishments are unknown to most of the state's residents. This book fills the void in our knowledge by bringing together an impressive array of information on Michigan's armed forces from 1775 to 1860. Here we find the name rank, unit, and dates of service for all known Michigan men who served in the Revolutionary War, Indian Wars, War of 1812, Black Hawk War, Toledo War, Patriot War, and the Mexican-American War. Accompanying histories explain the reasons behind the conflicts and include maps showing all theaters of operations for Michigan troops. The in-depth accounts of the state's role in these hostilities often serve as the first serious and comprehensive studies of the contributions made by its citizens in these events. Ultimately, this book stands as a fitting memorial to the many men who took up arms on behalf of Michigan. Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |

Each roster is preceded by a very readable, concise, and entertaining history of the particular war including reasons behind the hostilities, maps of military theaters, and accounts of Michigan’s role in each war. Of particular interest to history buffs will be the coverage of the Revolutionary War period noting the role of local Indians, British garrisons at Detroit and Mackinac, and a few strategically placed Michigan men as they dominated the Northwest.
Michigan’s Early Military Forces comes with great authority as one of Michigan’s Notable Books for 2004. Roster researcher and compiler Le Roy Barnett is a former head of reference services at the State Archives of Michigan in Lansing, and Roger Rosentreter, writer of the histories, is the editor of Michigan History Magazine. Enhanced with bibliographic notes, locations of related historic sites, and organizational charts, Michigan’s Early Military Forces is sure to become known as one of the few comprehensive studies of these historical events and of the contributions made by individuals who took up arms in service to their fellow settlers and future citizens of Michigan. Come to the library, relax in the peace of the Michigan Room, and peruse an important contribution commemorating the brave souls of Michigan’s early militia which eventually became our National Guard.
