Post subject: The First Michigan Engineers and Their Civil War
The Library of Michigan has announced its 2008 Michigan Notable Books.
Included in the list, "My Brave Mechanics: The First Michigan Engineers and Their Civil War," by Mark Hoffman (Wayne State University Press): Letters, diaries, regimental records, and local newspapers enrich this compelling history of the 1st Michigan Engineers and Mechanics.
The state's only such Civil War unit, the regiment was largely composed of skilled craftsmen and artisans. After training at Camp Owen in Marshall in 1861, the unit moved south and fought to maintain and support the Union supply lines in the Civil War's Western Theater, building and repairing bridges, railroads, and telegraph lines. One Thousand Tracings: Healing the Wounds of World War II, by Lita Judge (Hyperion Books for Children) - The very special and lovingly illustrated story of Judge's mother and grandmother, set during World War II in Pinckney. During the war, Judge's grandmother received an appeal from German friends who were starving and cold, and from this one simple request, a refugee assistance effort began, supported by ornithologists across the United States and Pinckney residents. By sending hope and kindness in the care packages, these people began healing the wounds of war.
