SUMMARY:May 2016 Monthly Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Author Carleton Young will be speaking about his book "Voices From the Attic" at the monthly meeting this Wednesday\, May 11\, at 7 p.m.\n\n"Voices From the Attic" is the story of two brothers who witnessed and helped to make history by fighting in the Peninsula Campaign\, then at South Mountain\, Antietam.\n\nImagine clearing out your family attic and discovering hundreds of letters written during the Civil War. Faced with that situation\, and not knowing why his family had the letters\, the author uses the resources of Ancestry.com and other sources to discover how two Vermont soldiers fit into his family heritage. Using excerpts from their letters\, which are filled with in-depth accounts of battles and army life\, he weaves together their dramatic war-time narrative into the context of the war and adds in additional information about the friends and relatives who fought by their side.\n\nCarleton Young has a undergraduate degrees in economics and English from Westminster College and Point Park University. He earned a MA in history from Ohio University and a Ph.D. in History from the University of Pittsburgh. For 37 years\, he has taught AP history at Thomas Jefferson High School.
