SUMMARY:100 Wyandotte Soldiers from the Civil War with Marty Bertera and Mary Johns Wien
DESCRIPTION:By the war’s end in 1865\, nearly 3 million young men and a few hundred women served in the civil war. They left their homes in large cities\, towns\, and small villages for an adventure of a lifetime; our presenters will look at one of these communities\, Wyandotte\, Michigan. The soldiers would serve their country in many far-flung locations throughout the United States. Ultimately\, some would die\, but most returned to civilian life\, and a few suffered the traumas from personally experiencing war. \nWhat started for them as a keep me busy project during covid\, updating the correct number of soldiers in the city\, ended up being over a 260-page book. By using as our foundation earlier books such as Proudly We Record and Historical Society notes that listed as few as 35 to a higher number of 112 soldiers from Wyandotte. The authors have been able to add and correct these numbers up to over 140. Along the way\, they corrected the spelling of a few first and last names. They deleted a few names listed as Civil War but were Spanish American War soldiers. \nYou would be mistaken if you think this is just a civil war history; it’s more than a war story; for those that survived the war\, it was a small-time frame of their existence but an important one. These veterans’ lives did not end when they were mustered out and discharged. Through many hours of research online\, old newspapers\, military books\, and state archives\, they have brought new information about the soldiers\, such as the location of their birth\, family members\, occupation before and after the war\, same with profession\, location\, and death date. \nThe authors:\nMary Johna Wein is the President of the Wyandotte Historical Society—director of the Friends of Wyandotte Cemetery and the Webpage of the same name.\nMarty Bertera has published several civil war books and has worked in the film industry on historical films and documentaries. He also built the large diorama at Raisin River National Park in Monroe\, Michigan\, of Frenchtown in 1812\, along with dioramas for other local museums
