Something Abides: Discovering the Civil War in Today's Vermont [Paperback]

Today, throughout Vermont, it is possible to identify hundreds and hundreds of Civil Warrelated sites. Throughout Vermont are soldier homes, halls where war meetings encouraged enlistments, churches where soldier funerals were held and abolitionists spoke, monuments to those who served, hospital sites, and homes where women gathered to make items for the soldiers. The Vermont State House is a virtual Civil War museum. A building survives in Woodstock where the war was administered. Cemeteries hold the gravestones of many of the 34,000 who fought. A field even exists where in 1803 a Quaker preacher heard a voice from above fortell a bloody war over slavery.Experience Civil War historic sites and small towns that can be found nowhere else in America
