August 29, 1861 – Another Company for the Seventh Regiment

Company E of the Seventh Regiment, Captain J. H. Richardson of Tuscola, is now full, seventy men, in addition to those already in camp, having passed through this city yesterday for their rendezvous at Monroe. The men are all from Tuscola county, average five feet and ten inches in height, and are thoroughly inured to the hardships of life in the backwoods and the more exciting scenes of log driving on the rapid streams which empty into the Saginaw. They are nearly all crack shots with the rifle and for active service will be found equal to any company which has left the State. The morale of the company is beyond question as good as that of any equal number of soldiers in the service, and from their appearance we are well assured that the honor of Tuscola county is safe in their hands. Det. Free Press.
