Few 19th-century Americans were as adventurous as Henry Baxter.
Best known for his Civil War exploits-from leading the 7th Michigan
Volunteer Infantry across the Rappahannock River at Fredericksburg
in the first daylight amphibious assault in American history, to
his defense of the Union line on day one of Gettysburg-he
accomplished these despite having no prewar military training. His
heroism and leadership propelled him from officer of volunteers to
major general in the Army of the Potomac. A New York emigrant from
a prominent family, Baxter was involved in developing Michigan's
political, business and educational foundations. He excelled at
enterprise, leading a group of adventurers to California during the
Gold Rush, co-founding what would become the Republican Party and
eventually becoming President Grant's diplomat to Honduras during
one of the most dynamic periods of Central American history. His
story parallels Michigan's transition from territory to state and
the United States' transformation from a divided republic into a
fledgling world power.
