Welcome to the website for the Third Michigan Infantry Research Project.

Here you will find information about the regiment, its history, and the men who at one time or another served in the "Old Third" during the American Civil War. So click on a link above to begin your research!

The history of the Old 3rd Michigan is finished at last! Nearly 20 years in the making and 800 pages long with many appendices and an exhaustive surname index! For more information on how you can purchase a copy on CD, or to receive a free copy of the Table of Contents, click here!

Oh and I'm in the process of putting online the biographical sketches of each of the 1,411 men who served at one time or another in the regiment. Click here and check it out.

I've put together a very short video of just a few of the images of men of the Old Third. Enjoy!
