Title: Michigan's early military forces
Description: "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 that void in our knowledge by bringing together an 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."--BOOK JACKET.
