Cabot's Soldiers In The Civil War

"It is Sweet and Honorable to Die for the Fatherland" is a collection of stories about Cabot, Vermont, and the soldiers it sent to the Civil War. Author David Book, former principal and teacher at Cabot School, makes a personal connection with these men and the community from which they came. He did intensive research at the National Archives in Washington, D.C., and visited fifteen national cemeteries where many Cabot soldiers are interred. Area newspapers, letters and journals were utilized to give a perspective on life in Cabot during the era. Extensive appendices are offered identifying all Cabot's Civil War soldiers.
