"In Their Words"
This page contains all the links to the various dairies and journals we have published on the 4th Michigan.com. We received and found so much information on 4th Michigan Volunteer Infantry it has become necessary to move the links to their own page. What a blessing!, to have need a for separate page. When I started this website in 2000 I would have never believed that it would develop into what it is today. The members of 4th Michigan Infantry have truly been honored and remembered. Thank you one and all.
