Description

Although far from the fighting, the residents of Oswego County were forever changed by the Civil War.

One of the few regions that never forced a draft, thousands of men volunteered, motivated by patriotism, abolitionism or a yearning for adventure.

Neither they nor their families were ever the same, and local author Natalie Joy Woodall relates their diverse experiences.

William Adriance enlisted twice, despite suffering from rheumatism, marrying and starting a family during the war.

Otis Mason Miner and his brother enlisted shortly after Fort Sumter surrendered, and in later years, Otis and his wife became pillars of their community.

Many others made the ultimate sacrifice or suffered from wounds--seen and unseen--for the rest of their lives.

Discover the fascinating stories of survival and sacrifice from Oswego County and the Civil War.
