Brigadier General Mark Flanigan (spelled Flannigan on the document) of Detroit served as the Wayne County Sheriff in 1862 and helped to subdue the participants of the Detroit Draft Riot of 1862. Shortly thereafter Flanigan and Judge Henry A. Morrow formed the Twenty-fourth Michigan regiment. He was thirty-seven years old, married with six children. On July 1st at the Battle of Gettysburg the Twenty-fourth engaged the Confederates, halted their advance and captured many prisoners including Brigadier General James Archer. The official report of the battle, written by Colonel Henry A. Morrow who stated "Lieutenant-Colonel Flanigan lost his leg in the battle. His conduct here, as everywhere in battle, was gallant and daring". The twenty-fourth entered Gettysburg with 496 men, after the first day of battle, only 99 remained, it was the greatest numerical loss of all Union regiments. One of the survivors was Henry Ford's maternal uncle, Barney Litogot who was later part of the honor guard for President Lincoln's funeral procession. Flanigan was sent home to recover where he was honorably discharged and appointed Provost Marshall for Michigan's First District. On March 13, 1865 he was breveted Brigadier General of Volunteers for his service in Gettysburg.
