Animal Mascots in the Civil War: A Lecture by David Koch

Edith Wheeler Memorial Library joins the Monroe Civil War Commemoration with this lecture by David Koch

Mr. Koch, an Assistant Professor of History at Housatonic Community College and a Civil War expert, shines a light on an often ignored aspect of the War: the animals that men brought with them or adopted over the years of bitter fighting. This is a heartwarming story suitable for all ages.
