Civil War Survivor - Episode 2

Edgar W. Clark left his home in Lansing, Mich., his wife and two daughters, ages 1 and 3, to join the 3rd Michigan Regiment. Though it was organized out of Grand Rapids, the roster shows soldiers from all over Michigan. Edgar almost at once became homesick but found that a soldier's life initially was pretty easy. Finally, the author explains why primary sources prove the Civil War was fought over slavery. For more info on this project, see the website: civilwarsurvivor.com.
