"As more than a thousandVermont infantrymen fell in the Wilderness, the Vermont Cavalry also waged a desperate fight at nearby Craig's Meeting House. Among the Vermonters captured there was Truman Naramore. Confined at infamous Andersonville, Naramore was reduced to crawling about the fetid grounds. But he survived to become a successful farmer, businessman, and inventor, even joining bthe California real estate boom. His story, a fascinating one told ably here, sheds vivid light on the type of individuals who, as as cirizen soldiers, gave Vermont an outsized role in the Union victory."

Charlotte, Vermont, like all towns both north and south, was a microcosm of the war effort — its people and politics generally representative of the greater population. Men and boys from our town were involved almost from the time of the firing on Fort Sumter, to and beyond the end of the fighting war. Some left their homes to confront the tragedy of war; some did not survive; some survived to return to confront tragedy at home. Few, if any, of these men and boys who left to join the army came back unaltected.
