Hillsdale Honor: The Civil War Experience, Arlan Gilbert

"Previous to this monograph, as far as I know, no Civil War historian has examined in depth the contributions of a norther college in the War Between the States. Hillsdale College played active political, military, and abolitionist roles in the sectional conflict. During a third of a century of teaching at Hillsdale, I have become aware of these significant college contributions, as well as countless untold Civil War episodes of bravery and sacrifice. The purpose of this monograph is to describe Hillsdale College's impact during the Civil War and to honor, even at this late date, those courageous men. In the words of President Lincoln, they 'gave the last full measure of devotion.'" - Preface Excerpt by Arlan K. Gilbert Author and retired professor of Hillsdale College

Praise for Hillsdale Honor: The Civil War Experience 

"There are few places in the North, and certainly no campus, where the fire of the Civil War burned more brightly than at Hillsdale College. That this was so is understandable given the character of that institution." - Albert Castel, author of Decision in the West: The Atlanta Campaign of 1864 

"Probably no college in the country is better represented in the Union army than {Hillsdale College}. It has sent its young men to the war by hundreds. They have watered with their blood every battlefield of the Republic.... Their patriotism and love of country have won for them a fame even better than college honors." - Detroit Advertiser and Tribune, 14 June 1864
