Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from History of the Twenty-Fourth Michigan: Of the Iron Brigade, Known as the Detroit and Wayne County Regiment
By request of his comrades the author has written this volume. For centuries, the story of the Anabasis and Retreat of the Ten Thousand Greeks, and the incursions of Hannibal into Italy have been perused with interest by classical readers; while the great campaigns of Bonaparte against the Allied Powers have been the wonder of modern times. But our own nation has a martial record as eventful as any in previous time.
