Second view of a crowd greeting Union soldiers of the 1st Michigan Volunteer Infantry Regiment after their return from fighting in the First Battle of Bull Run at the D&M Railroad Depot in Detroit, Michigan, August 2, 1861. Politician Lewis Cass is said to be speaking to the crowd and is probably standing with other dignitaries below the American flags on the left. By Jex Bardwell.
