Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book, meticulously researched, narrates the storied history of the Detroit Light Guard, an American Volunteer Military Company whose members' service to the Union spans the Civil and Spanish-American Wars. The narrative begins in 1836 when the Guard was organized as the Brady Guard, and follows the company through its subsequent changes until its re-emergence as the Detroit Light Guard in 1855. The author captures the fervor of the volunteers as the nation faced internal strife, and their unwavering dedication is evident in their keen response to President Lincoln's call for troops in 1861. The book recounts the Guardsmen's valiant defense of the Union during the Civil War, chronicling both their participation in special operations and harrowing battles such as Bull Run. Additionally, the book provides detailed accounts of their service during the Spanish-American War. The author draws connections between the Guardsmen's experiences and the broader historical context of the times, highlighting the profound impact their sacrifices had on the course of the nation. The book is not merely a historical record; it is a testament to the indomitable spirit of American volunteers, highlighting the sacrifices and heroism of citizen-soldiers throughout history.
