Used to think that every other place talked more about their connections to the Civil War than Michigan. Been disabused of that notion a bit lately, what with several publications having stories about the era in their current issues:
Surviving that "Dismal Hole" in Georgia is an excellent article by historian and writer Roger L. Rosentreter (Andersonville) in the current May/June issue of Michigan History Magazine.
The Chronicle, a quarterly publication of the Historical Society of Michigan, features an article on Zachariah Chandler's role in the 1864 election.
Perhaps the most challenging of these articles is in the Spring 2009 edition of The Michigan Historical Review, Vol. 35, No. 1, under the title Civil War Recruiting and Recruits from Ever-Changing Labor Pools: Midland County, Michigan as a Case Study, by Robert E. Mitchell.
Great to see the triumvirate of Michigan historical publications treating CW subjects.
