Speaking this evening at the Civil War Roundtable of New York about Clara Barton and have been treated to this view of St. Patrick’s Cathedral from the venue on 51st Street! Wow!

Made a stop in Mechanicville, New York to commune with one of the earliest Union heroes of the #CivilWar. Colonel Elmer E. Ellsworth was killed on May 24, 1861 while removing a Confederate flag from a hotel rooftop in Alexandria, Virginia. He became a martyr to the Union; “Avenge Ellsworth” became a rallying cry across the North. My great-great-great grandfather S. Ellsworth Schwalm was named in his honor. #AmericanCivilWar #AmericanHistory #USHistory

Stumbled across the grave of General George H. Thomas in Troy’s Oakwood Cemetery! Happy surprise to see the man with the best #CivilWar nickname: “the Rock of Chickamauga.”
