Union Soldiers of the 1st Michigan Volunteer Infantry Regiment Posing Around the Entrance to Fort Wayne in Detroit, Michigan (1861)

Identified as men of the 1st Michigan Volunteer Infantry Regiment. Animated stereoview.

Identified as men from Company C of the 2nd Michigan Volunteer Infantry Regiment.

Two photographs of Union soldiers from Company C of the 2nd Michigan Volunteer Infantry Regiment and/or the 1st Michigan Volunteer Infantry Regiment posing around the entrance to Fort Wayne in Detroit, Michigan, 1861. Some of the men appear to be the same in both photographs, so I believe the men are either all of one regiment or the other or else are possibly a mixture of both regiments. By Jex Bardwell.
