Join us in person at the Vermont Genealogy Library, on Saturday, March 18th for Liam McKone's presentation on the life of Captain John Lonergan, recipient of the Medal of Honor for gallantry at the Battle of Gettysburg. Lonergan formed a company of Vermont Irishmen, Company A, 13th Vermont Volunteer Infantry, to preserve the Union and to gain military skills to help fight for Irish freedom. After the war, Lonergan helped organize two Fenian raids into Canada with the hope that the raids would pressure the British to surrender control of Ireland.

This presentation will be held on Saturday, March 18, in-person at the Vermont Genealogy Library in Pinewood Plaza, 57 River Road in Essex Junction. It will be from 10:30 to noon and the cost is $10.00. Please visit our website, www.vtgenlib.org for additional details and for registration. This will not be recorded for later viewing.
