Book excerpt: In October 1864, approximately twenty-one Rebel soldiers took over St. Albans, Vermont, proclaiming that it was now under Confederate government control. This northernmost land action of the Civil War ignited wartime fear and anger in every Northern state. The raiders fired on townspeople as they stole horses and robbed the local banks. St. Albans men organized under recently discharged Union captain George Conger, F. Stewart Stranahan and John W. Newton to chase the Rebels out of town. The complex network of the Confederate Secret Service was entangled with the raid and conspired to unravel the North throughout the war. The perpetrators later stood trial in Canada, causing international ramifications for years to come. Michelle Arnosky Sherburne leads readers through the drama, triumph and legacy of the Confederate raid on St. Albans.

Download or read book Daredevils of the Confederate Army written by Oscar Arvle Kinchen and published by Pickle Partners Publishing. This book was released on 2018-12-01 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is an exciting story about a little known incident in the Civil War that took place in October 1864, when a small band of young Confederate soldiers, led by a gallant young rebel theology student from Kentucky named Bennett Young, crossed the border from Canada and settled in Vermont. There they proceeded to launch a surprise attack on St. Albans, Vermont, robbing and burning the small town in an attempt to strike terror into defenseless civilians throughout the north. The Confederates were estimated to have stolen some US$200,000 in greenbacks and federal bonds, harangued the officials upon federal atrocities in the south, and compelled their cringing listeners to swear allegiance to the south. The raid also met its goal of sowing widespread panic along the Union’s northern border. Although the raid ultimately ended up having little impact on the outcome of the war, Daredevils of the Confederate Army has great historical value and will be of interest to everyone who enjoys reading tales of daring and adventure.
Download or read book Burn the Town and Sack the Banks written by Cathryn J. Prince and published by Basic Books. This book was released on 2006-09-15 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On a dreary October afternoon, bands of Confederate raiders held up the three banks in St. Albans. With guns drawn, they herded the townspeople out into the common, sending the people of the North into panic. Operating out of a Confederate stronghold in Canada, the raiders were young men, mostly escapees from Union prison camps, who had been recruited to inaugurate a new kind of guerilla war along the Yankees' unprotected border. The raid, though bungling at times, was successful — the consequent pursuit of the rebels into Canada. The celebrity-like trial it sparked in Montreal and resulting diplomatic tensions that arose between the U.S., Canada, and Great Britain, left the Southern dream of a second-front diversion in ruins. What survived, however, is a fascinating tale of the South's desperate attempt to reverse the course of the war. Burn the Town and Sack the Banks is a tale filled with dashing soldiers, spies, posses, bumbling plans, smitten locals, lawyers, diplomats, and an idyllic Vermont town, set against the backdrop of the great battles far from the Northern border that were bringing the Civil War to its bloody conclusion.
