Monday, May 5th, is the 150th anniversary of the Civil War battle, 'The Wilderness'. In the battle, which was the turning point of the war, 1,234 Vermonters (members of the 1st. Vermont Brigade), died -- an extraordinary number of losses. Howard Coffin, renowned Civil War historian, has asked all towns in Vermont to toll their bells at 4 PM. On the 5th, the bells at the Castleton Federated Church will toll to commemorate the sacrifices of the 1st Vermont Brigade.
