Friday, June 13 | 12pm – 1pm | Presented by Michael T. Sullivan
Eli, Hannibal, and Sylvester were brothers, farmers, soldiers, and friends from Palmyra, Wisconsin. They were respected for what they did and the American Civil War made them forever friends of the country. While holding the military rank of private, the brothers honorably served in Wisconsin military units within the Union Army. They made it home, partially, but the home front presented its own family and personal struggles.
Wisconsin Author Michael T. Sullivan’s presentation will introduce you to the Congdon Brothers and their extended families. Their acts rise from browned and fragile pages where they have respectfully remained silent for many years.
