Excerpt from Memoirs: Detroit Post N. 384, Department of Michigan, G. A. R Commander and Comrades: The preparation of these memoirs has been prompted by a desire that all members might have a knowledge of the personnel of the Post that could not in any other manner be gained, and for the purpose of recording many interesting facts and deeds in connection with our service in the War of the Rebellion that would not otherwise be preserved. Some general information that was thought would be of interest, and found only in special publications not readily accessible to all, has also been included. The writer is especially indebted to Fox's "Regimental Losses" for much of this. Necessarily only a brief sketch of the service of each command is given, but there has been incorporated all the prominent achievements of the different regiments, batteries, etc., represented in our membership so far as it has been possible to collect them, and mention also made of all the personal experiences that would be of general interest which have been reported. While it is not expected that each member will be concerned in all that is said, it is hoped that every one may find something that he will learn with pride and satisfaction. It is a gratification to know that Detroit Post may fairly claim to have in its ranks survivors of some of the most noted regiments in the army, those which met with some of the hardest service of the civil war, and the subscriber will feel amply repaid for his efforts in compiling these facts if the knowledge that we have such heroes as associates is gained from reading these pages.
