BH4.4 Certificate with red seal. Apr. 3, 1896 Mimeo
Scope and Contents
Contains twelve photographic prints of various groups in the Michigan National Guard, 1882-1929. The prints are both group shots as well as composites and feature uniforms, equipment and camp facilities. Also included is a photo of the Company K Indoor Baseball team from the turn of the century.
