The clippings in this series have been culled from the Local History Vertical File. Included are those from the Civil War era, 1861-1865, and those post Civil War, 1866-ca, 1964. Articles document officers and veterans of the Old 3rd, or the Michigan Engineers and Mechanics, for example. Some discuss in general the progress of the war. Postwar clippings document GAR activities and war memories.
