Historian Henry Howe traveled to every county in the state of Ohio in 1886, more than 20 years after the end of the Civil War, but he found the war was still vivid in the memory of many he spoke with. Scattered through his huge Ohio history are many tales of Civil War, some of which are little known outside these century-old volumes. We have extracted some of these tales and put them in this new 72-page illustrated booklet called:

"Ohio's Forgotten Episodes of the Civil War."

These tales have been compiled from Howe's huge two-volume work: Historical Collections of Ohio. The booklet is printed on 8.5" x 11" 60# paper. The front cover is protected by a vinyl sheet.

Included are:

The War Experiences of Major N. Bostwick

Lingering Wounds and Remarkable Incidents

Soldiers' Reunion

Patriotic Poetry and a Literary Curiosity

The Soldier's Creed

Drummer Boys

Prison on Johnson's Island

John Morgan's Raid

An Ohio Connection with Andrews' Raid

Cincinnati in the War

A Conversation between Rebels and Yanks

Lucy Webb Hayes

Clement Vallandigham

Ohio's Work in the Sanitary Commission

This is one of three Civil War booklets on Ohio that we have compiled largely from Henry Howe's invaluable work. The other two, "Paving the Way for Freedom: Ohio Before the Civil War" and "Ohio: Leading the Yankees to Victory in the Civil War," are also available.

Wouldn't this make a unique gift?
