Edward Adams Sowles's address provides a comprehensive account of the St. Albans raid, one of the most notorious incidents of the American Civil War. The raid, carried out by Confederate soldiers on the Vermont town of St. Albans, was the northernmost land action of the war and had a significant impact on the course of the conflict. Sowles's address sheds new light on this important event and offers a vivid and compelling narrative of the raid and its aftermath.
