SUMMARY:Michigan and the Civil War: The 150th Anniversary
DESCRIPTION:
 Drawn from the MSU Museum's historical collection, 
 the exhibit highlights Michigan connections 
 in the Civil War. Notably, the entire first 
 graduating class of the Michigan Agricultural 
 College (now MSU) was excused before the 
 graduation ceremonies in 1861 so that they could 
 join the Union Army. Another thread: Luther 
 Baker, the man who led the capture of Lincoln's 
 assassin, was a Michigan native who returned 
 to Lansing after the war. Several artifacts 
 relate to Civil War General John G. Parkhurst 
 from Coldwater, Mich., who spent time in 
 the notorious Confederate Libby Prison. Other 
 artifacts include Civil War uniforms, weapons, 
 camp goods, medical equipment -- including 
 an amputation and surgery kit -- and objects 
 relating to the assassination of President 
 Abraham Lincoln.\n
