Bennitt traces the history of the 19th Michigan Infantry, from its mustering in Dowagiac in August 1862, to its duty in Kentucky and Tennessee, its capture and imprisonment by Confederate forces and its subsequent exchange and reorganization, its participation in the Atlanta and the Carolinas campaigns, its place in the Grand Review in Washington, and its final mustering out in Detroit in June 1865. John Bennitt's significant collection of letters sheds light not only on the Civil War but also on life in a small Michigan town.
