HISTORY
VOICES FROM THE
ATTIC 7 p. m., Wednesday, Oct. 11
Imagine clearing out your family attic and discovering hundreds of letters written during the Civil War. Faced with that situation, and not knowing why his family had the letters, Carleton Young used Ancestry. com and other sources to discover how two Vermont soldiers fit into his family heritage. He then wrote Voices from the Attic: The Williamstown Boys in the Civil War, the story of two brothers who witnessed and helped to make history by fighting in the Peninsula Campaign, South Mountain, Antietam, Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, Gettysburg, the Wilderness, and Cedar Creek. They preserved that history through their surprisingly detailed and insightful letters. Their letters offer a valuable source of information as seen through the eyes of two soldiers as they fought in America’ s great Civil War. Speaker / author Carleton Young will have copies of his book available to purchase after the talk. Presented by the Historical Society of Mount Lebanon.
