"The St. Albans Raid: Confederates Attack on Vermont" by Michelle Arnosky Sherburne

I had another great find at the Yankee Bookshop in Woodstock Vermont, to go along with our visits to St. Albans!

"The St. Albans Raid:  Confederates Attack on Vermont" by Michelle Arnosky Sherburne gives all of the facts about the St. Albans Raid.

If you aren't familiar with it, some Confederates congregated in Canada and dropped down to St. Albans Vermont, robbing a few banks and justifying it as an act for the Confederacy.

They are chased back in to Canada by the people of St. Albans, but neutral Canadian authorities take over from there.

Some interesting legal wrangling goes on at that point.

There are some famous names mentioned in connection to the event, including Seward, Morgan, Davis, and others. 

 Interestingly, the author draws a link to John Wilkes Booth and his conspirators too.
