  • A History of the Lieutenant Governor's Office S209
    A History of A History of The Office of the Adjutant, Quartermaster, The Lieutenantand Inspector Governor’s Generals Office S209 S105 The Lieutenant Governor The modern office of the Lieutenant Governor is rare in that it is still used by the office holder for which it was originally designed. Architect Elijah E. Myers located the suite on the second floor to the immediate south of the Senate Chamber, as the Lieutenant Gover- nor has always served as a presiding officer of the Michigan Senate. The Capitol’s original floor plans indicate that the office originally consisted of only two rooms: an office (now S209) and a small adjoining washroom and water closet (now S209B). The Secretary of the Senate worked next door. Interestingly, Myers’s floor plans also assigned the Lieutenant Governor a small apartment located on the basement (or ground) floor in the west wing where he could stay during legislative sessions. This unique suite, the only one of its kind proposed for the Capitol, was to contain a dining room, a kitchen, and two bedrooms. Ultimately this scheme was scrapped, and the space used as storerooms and offices. The first Lieutenant Governor to work in the present Capitol was Mr. Alonzo Sessions, a native New Yorker who came to Michigan in 1833 to acquire land. Two years later he began farming in Ionia County, where he eventually held several local offices and positions including Justice of the Peace, Chairman of the Board of Supervisors, Ionia County Sheriff, and President of the First National Bank of Ionia. In 1856 Michigan’s present Capitol, the state’s third, opened on January 1, 1879, to great acclaim.

  • First Michigan Volunteer Infantry Regiment (Three Months) Receiving Its Colors from the Ladies of Detroit
    First Michigan – Three Months Volunteer Infantry Regiment “Thank God for Michigan!” It is confidently expected that the patriotic citizen soldiery of Michigan will promptly come forward to enlist in the cause of the Union, against which an extensive rebellion in arms exists, threatening the integrity and perpetuity of the government.1 Governor and Commander-in-Chief Austin Blair April 16, 1861 On April 12, 1861, the first guns of the Civil War were fired on Fort Sumter. On April 15, Governor Austin only three days later, Lincoln appealed to the “loyal” states for help in putting down the Blair rebellion, calling for 75,000 volunteers to serve for three months.2 Governor Austin Blair received the War Department’s telegram at his home in Jackson, advising him of Lincoln’s call to arms and informing him of Michigan’s quota: one regiment consisting of ten companies, or about 1,000 men. Governor Blair immediately left for Detroit to confer with the state’s Adjutant General, John Robertson.3 The problem: how to recruit, organize, arm, equip and train a regiment as quickly as possible. There were no funds for such an undertaking. Michigan’s treasury in 1861 was nearly depleted. Prominent business and civic leaders around the state stepped forward, pledging $80,000 in loans to get Michigan’s war effort started.4 On April 16, one day after receiving the War Department’s telegram, Governor Blair called for volunteers. The response was wildly enthusiastic, marked by a massive war Adjutant General John Robertson 1 First Michigan – Three Months Volunteer Infantry Regiment Ypsilanti Light Guard, the Marshall Light Guard and the Hardee Cadets— rendezvoused at Fort Wayne to drill and train.7 Colonel Frank W.

  • President-Elect in Springfield (1860-1861)
    Chapter Seventeen “I Will Suffer Death Before I Will Consent to Any Concession or Compromise”: President-elect in Springfield (1860-1861) During the four months separating his election from his inauguration, Lincoln faced the daunting challenge of Southern secession. Though he would not officially take power until March 1861, his party looked to him for guidance. Like most Republicans, he was startled when the Cotton States made good their supposedly idle threats to withdraw from the Union.1 Should they be allowed to go in peace? Should they be forcibly resisted? Should they be conciliated or appeased? What compromise measures might preserve national unity without sacrificing the party’s principles? Radicals like Zachariah Chandler believed “all will be well” if Lincoln would only “‘Stand like an Anvil when the sparks fall thick & fast, a fiery shower,’” but some Republicans feared that he would not do so.2 A few days after the election, Charles Francis Adams viewed Southern threats to secede as a means “to frighten Mr Lincoln at the outset, and to compel him to declare himself in opposition to the principles of the party that has elected him.” Adams confessed that the awaited the president-elect’s 1 David M.

Chandler was quoting, somewhat inaccurately, from a poem by George Washington Doane. 1875 Michael Burlingame – Abraham Lincoln: A Life – Vol. 1, Chapter 17 reaction “with some misgivings,” for “the swarms that surround Mr Lincoln are by no means the best.”3 Adams need not have worried, for Lincoln sided with the “stiff-backed” Republicans in rejecting any concession of basic principle, just as he had rebuffed those eastern Republicans who two years earlier had supported the reelection of Douglas.

BOX 30014 JOHN TRUSCOTT (VICE-CHAIR) LANSING, MICHIGAN 48909-7514 TIM BOWLIN (517) 373-1433 KERRY CHARTKOFF JEFF COBB TRAVIS WEBER The Michigan State Capitol is a great example of a uniquely American architectural form — the statehouse. Opened on January 1, 1879, our elegant Capitol has stood watch as Michigan evolved from a timbered frontier to a center of manufacturing, agriculture, and tourism. As the years passed, our once beautiful building became neglected and fell into decay. Brilliant decorative art was concealed, and spacious rooms were subdivided into dark and crowded offices. As the Capitol neared its century mark, the threat of demolition loomed on the horizon. Yet, the people of Michigan were not ready to bid farewell to their historic Capitol. A dedicated group of citizens and elected officials joined forces to preserve the building. A major restoration, executed from 1987-1992, addressed the Capitol’s ornamental interiors and a limited number of exterior concerns. At the conclusion of the restoration, the Capitol was rededicated to the people of Michigan. Nevertheless, there were some major projects, such as the replacement of missing and weathered decorative elements on the dome and the complete restoration of the grounds, that were not addressed. As the years passed, time took its toll on the building’s electrical, mechanical, and plumbing systems. The ability to complete such large projects, however, remained elusive in tight budget years.
