The St . Albans Raid

Relive the daring raid that shook the foundations of the Union during the American Civil War. In 1864, a group of Confederate soldiers crossed the border from Canada into Vermont and seized the town of St. Albans. Their goal: to rob its banks and burn its buildings to the ground. But the citizens fought back, and the raid became a turning point in the war. This compelling account of the raid and its aftermath offers a fresh perspective on a little-known chapter of American history.
