- Abstract
The article offers a different perspective on the St. Albans Raid in Vermont by 21 Confederate soldiers on October 19, 1864. Topics discussed include how the raid was exploited by national officials and opinion leaders to pursue political objectives not related to the raid itself and the difference between local and national perspectives based on New York and Vermont newspaper articles.
