St. Albans Raid History Talk June 11

Past event
Jun 11, 2015, 6:30 to 8 PM

In October 1864, approximately twenty-one Confederate soldiers took over St. Albans, Vermont. This northernmost land action of the Civil War ignited wartime fear and anger in every Northern state. The raiders fired on townspeople as they stole horses and robbed the local banks. St. Albans men organized to chase the Rebels out of town, and the perpetrators eventually stood trial in Canada, causing international ramifications for years to come.

On Thursday, June 11 at 6:30 p.m., Michelle Arnosky Sherburne will lead readers through the drama, triumph, and legacy of the Confederate raid as she discusses her research and her latest book.
