In this remarkable book\, she documents over 200 men from Jefferson who served in the Union forces during the Civil War\, focusing especially on those who never returned home. \nStephanie began her work with the 28 men commemorated on Jefferson’s Evergreen Cemetery Civil War monument\, erected in 1868\, the first of its kind in Schoharie County. Her research expanded far beyond the monument\, uncovering the stories of 51 Jefferson men who lost their lives during the war\, many from disease or the brutal conditions of Confederate prisons like Andersonville\, rather than the battlefield. \nEach soldier is remembered in her book with a dedicated entry that brings their life and service to light. During this special talk\, Stephanie will share her fascinating discoveries and the stories behind these local heroes. \nDon’t miss this opportunity to hear firsthand about Jefferson’s Civil War history and the extraordinary efforts behind “Fallen Heroes.” \nThis event is open to the public\, with a suggested donation of $5 per person to support programming.
