Reader Scott Gerych of the Michigan Military History Museum has sent a link to a local history website he has compiled for Camp Wolverine, 673rd Company, located in Chandler Township Charlevoix County MI.
Scott has done an extraordinary job of weaving together contemporary newspaper articles with images from camp albums. The result is a granular, almost week by week portrait of the camp in its first year. You can follow the whole process from announcement of the Corps, selection of local enrollees, arrival of the 673rd in town, and slow transformation from tent camp to a permanent camp.
Well worth a look!
