Webmaster’s note: This book is based on the journal of Color Sergeant Dan Crotty. Dan began the war as a member of the 3rd Michigan Infantry Regiment. As the 3rd and 5th were part of the same Brigade, this is an excellent accounting of the travels of the 5th. Also, the 3rd and the 5th merged into one regiment about December, 1863.
