Trade Review

“(M)ore than soldiers‘ stories and the usual ’greatest hits‘ of Michigan in the war…. (Michigan’s War is) an excellent collection of real, mainly contemporaneous documents…. (T)here are also heart-breaking and troubling views here that reflect Michigandlers’ ambivalence over the war and abolition, and out-and-out racism….
Any serious reader of the state’s history in the Civil War will not want to leave this book to college students.”
