The Comrades: Sixth Michigan Cavalry, Company F

The author's extensive research on this Civil War Cavalry company details their experience: fighting heroically at Gettysburg, 27 other battles, receiving the surrender flag at Appomatox, and being sent west to build a fort in northern Wyoming territory after the war. Details and examples are drawn from first-hand accounts, primarily pension files. It also explores pre- and post-war conditions, social and medical issues, genealogy, and issues that affect society today.
