On Monday,
April 13, The History Press will add Michigan Civil War Landmarks to its catalogue. Authors David Ingall and Karin Risko
guide readers through the Civil War sites and landmarks of Michigan.
When
America faced its greatest internal crisis, Michigan answered the call with
over ninety thousand troops. The Story of that sacrifice is preserved in the
state’s rich collection of Civil War monuments, markers, forts, cemeteries,
reenactments, museums and exhibits. Discover how General George A. Custer and
the famed Michigan Cavalry Brigade “saved the Union.” Visit the chair that
President Lincoln was assassinated in at Ford’s Theatre, and view the grave of
the last African American Union veteran. With a foreword by Civil War historian
Jack Dempsey, this work is the first of its kind to chronicle the many Civil
War Landmarks in the Wolverine State.
David Ingall is the former assistant director of the
Monroe County Historical Museum and was the chairman of the monument dedication
ceremony for the Monroe County Civil War Fallen Soldier’s Memorial. He is a
sought-after Civil War speaker and tour guide. He’s a member of the Civil War
Trust, Monroe County Civil War Round Table, and many other prestigious
organizations.
Karin Risko is the founder of Hometown History Tours, a
local tour company that shows off the rich history of Detroit and southeast
Michigan, including its Civil War and Underground Railroad history. A member of
the Detroit Metro CVB, Karin is frequently called on by local professional and
social organizations to speak on local history.
