Plow Fields to Battlefields: The Sacrifice of Two Ohioans in the Civil War

Plow Fields to Battlefields: The Sacrifice of Two Ohioans in the Civil War

About

The Lee-Fendall House Museum operated as the Grosvenor Branch Hospital between 1863 and 1865. While the hospital treated about one thousand patients during those two years, 100 of those men died - including Private Martin Swick of the 126th Ohio & Private James Luman of the 122nd Ohio Infantry. Brent will touch briefly on the families of both men and their service up to the battle where each was wounded; focusing on the journey of both men from where they were respectively wounded to Grosvenor Branch. Brent will also touch on what happens to their families after their deaths.
