of the campaign. The old books,
in turn, will be sold in the
drive's second phase, a "New

effort on April 8, designated
as "Buzzes and Bags Day."

Publication of this study was
made possible with the coopera-

A foreword to the book by Dr.
Jacob R. Marcus, of Cincinnati,
director of American Jewish
Archives, commends Katz for
his research work and expresses
the hope that it "will serve as a
spur to other Jewish communi-
ties to write the story of their
coreligionists who also fought
in those troubled times in the
struggle to save the Union."
Containing many photo-

alities who figured in the
story and supplemented by an
• extensive bibliography, Katz's
book throws light on the early
history of the Jews in Michi-
gan. It serves to supplement
the vast amount of historical
data that is being compiled
about Jews who served in the
Civil War.
This study contains the rec-
ord of the Jewish soldiers in
the Civil War from this area,
listing many names, the regi-
ments in which they served and
any category, for children and
adults, and may include paper-
backs.
