St. Lawrence County Historical Association to discuss county's Civil War veterans on Sunday

Posted

CANTON -- St. Lawrence County’s Civil War Veterans is the topic for discussion at the next St. Lawrence County Historical Association Civil War Roundtable on March 30 at 2 p.m. the Silas Wright House, 3 East Main St. John Austin will tell about his project to document all of St. Lawrence County’s Civil War veterans.

The North Country Civil War Roundtable is part of the St. Lawrence County Historical Association’s Commemoration of the 150th anniversary of the Civil War, which was fought from 1861-1865.

Austin undertook a huge project to identify and document all of the men who served in the war from St. Lawrence County.

The culmination of this five year project is a 730 page book listing approximately 6,700 men, the regiment(s) each served in, along with any additional information available including parents names, birth dates, service records, and burial locations. Info: 386-8133 or info@slcha.org.
