It was a war that featured its share of heroes and cowards, of leaders and followers. While the 24th Michigan Infantry Regiment was just a small fragment of this massive conflict, the regiment's story is one of excitement, hardship, defeat, and victory, making it one that can be associated with any other unit, Union or Confederate that served in the American Civil War.

Follow this regiment through five pivotal characters, as the unit journeys from the streets of Detroit to some of the bloodiest battles of the war. Leaving their peaceful lives behind them at Lincoln's second call for volunteers, these Michiganders put their nation ahead of all else and marched into the raging conflicts that awaited them. With rifles in hand and the glorious flag at the helm, the 24th fought with the famed Iron Brigade to not just serve the country, but to earn the respect of its hardened comrades of that fabled brigade. And they gave their all and left nothing off the fields of battle to prove their worth. We challenge you to join them. Do you have what it takes?

Among Men of Iron is based on the actual journey of the Twenty-Fourth Michigan Infantry Regiment from Detroit to Gettysburg. Methodically researched, the reader will find this work historically accurate. Although fictionalized, the men portrayed are based upon actual soldiers of the regiment. From speeches to battles to conversations, Among Men of Iron is full of known quotes and actions. The reader will not only share in the regiment's adventures, but learn about the trials, tribulations, and triumphs of one of the Civil War's most famous regiments.

From Matthew Borders of the National Conference of State Historic Preservation Officers, "Among Men of Iron is a meticulously researched and excellently written work that is both fun and educational for both the layman and the scholar interested in Civil War history. Mr. Force's attention to detail and the amount of dedication he brings to getting the facts straight is very impressive for a work of historic fiction. I highly recommend this work to anyone interested in Michigan history, the Civil War, or just a good story."
