St. Albans, VT – While many people think northern New England was isolated from the Civil War battlefront, it may be a bit of a surprise to learn that the northernmost battle of the Civil War occurred about 15 miles from the Canadian border in Vermont. The St. Albans' Raid was led by a Confederate soldier who had escaped his capture by Union forces by entering Canada. North Country Bureau Chief Pat Bradley was in St. Albans recently to talk about, and follow the route of, the raid with Vermont historian and author Howard Coffin.
