24th Michigan Volunteer Infantry

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The 24th Michigan Regiment was an infantry regiment raised in the state of Michigan during the American Civil War. A part of the famous Iron Brigade in the Army of the Potomac, it was noted for suffering the most casualties of any Union Army regiment in the Battle of Gettysburg in 1863.

Raised in the southeastern portion of Michigan, many of the recruits joined the new regiment in Detroit in the summer of 1862.
