Macomb County Civil War Footprints

Bys: Cheryl J. Allen and Robert D. Allen

In the quest of identifying Civil War soldiers and sailors buried in cemeteries in Macomb County, Michigan, the stories of several veterans aroused the interest of the authors. To that end, extensive research began and culminated in the stories of the six veterans noted in this work.& ; & ; The stories begin with two cavalry sergeants, progress through the man widely credited with shooting Confederate General J.E.B. Stuart, then chronicling the prison experiences of an infantry officer, highlighting the career of the only Civil War general buried in Macomb County, and culminates with the military career of an 1812 soldier who served his country into the beginning of the Civil War.& ; & ; The individuals presented in this book were not heroes. They were not much different than others who served in this conflict. They might be considered victims of the circumstances in which they found themselves. They certainly displayed fortitude and resolve in performing the duties given them and assumed responsibility for the actions they undertook. They should be viewed as examples of what many of the participants in this conflict did, however difficult their circumstances.& ; & ; We salute them all. & ; & ;
