It is the story of how the people of Oakland County responded collectively and individually to one of the most perilous times in our nation's history. It is about how 10 percent of its populace would volunteer to fight for the rights and freedom of others, but it is also about the 90 percent who supported this effort from the home front; the shared sacrifices collectively borne by the families of those who enlisted. It is about how citizens collectively supported one another and their soldiers. These are but a few examples of the rich heritage of Oakland County and her people that awaits you. We encourage you to use the map to locate those special places that can connect you with this history and to embark on your own exploration of the Civil War and the history that is uniquely Oakland County. Hard copies of this map are available for purchase from the Oakland County One Stop Shop. </td></tr></tbody></table>
