New Publication on Worcester's
Civil War History

The third publication of the Worcester Historical Society, "Worcester's Civil War Warriors," indexed with ninety-three pages, is available for purchase at $10. The publication features local anecdotes from the era, a chapter describing the Eagle Ledge murder of 1863, and numerous pictures of Worcester soldiers as well as abundant family information. It was researched and written by WHS President David Book, who also completed a similar work on Cabot's Civil War soldiers last year (published by Civil War Enterprises). Merchandise

Photo right: Truman P. Kellogg, Worcester Civil War soldier and Eagle Ledge farmer.  Died in LA of disease.

David Book is very interested in helping other societies research and write about their Civil War legacy in view of the approaching sesquicentennial of the war. He may be contacted at dbcabot@aol.com.
