Michigan In The American Civil War
Michigan made a substantial contribution to the Union during the American Civil War. While the state itself was far removed from the combat theaters of the war, Michigan supplied many troops and several generals, including George Armstrong Custer. When, at the beginning of the war, Michigan was asked to supply no more than one regiment, Governor Austin Blair sent seven.

Sarah Emma Edmonds
Sarah Emma Edmonds (born Sarah Emma Evelyn Edmondson, married name Seelye, alias Franklin Flint Thompson; December 1841 – September 5, 1898) was a Canadian-born woman who claimed to have served as a man with the Union Army as a nurse and spy during the American Civil War.

Early life Edmonds was born in December 1841 in New Brunswick, Canada, then a British colony.

At age 15, Edmondson fled home to escape an arranged marriage; she was aided by her mother, who also ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
