Description

Celebrating 250 @ the Library

The Civil War wasn’t only fought in the south. Especially at the start of the war, there were numerous skirmishes in the north between those who felt the Union ought to fight the Confederates to stop slavery and those who felt that negotiation ought to be pursued instead. In one very memorable skirmish, soldiers from Danbury confronted supporters of peace in New Fairfield at the Battle of Charcoal Run. Early reports of two fatalities made this the most significant encounter in Connecticut.
