While cleaning out his parents’ attic, Carleton Young discovered an enormous collection of letters written during the Civil War by two soldiers. After spending about five years transcribing the letters with the help of friends, the retired history teacher compiled their stories into the book ‘Voices from the Attic: The Williamstown Boys in the Civil War.’

Young's book tells the story of two brothers who witnessed and made history by fighting in the Peninsula Campaign, then at South Mountain, Antietam, Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, Gettysburg, the Wilderness, and Cedar Creek. They preserved that history through their surprisingly detailed and insightful letters, rediscovered after 150 years in his parent’s attic.

Young will visit the Peters Township Public Library on Thursday, December 1 at 7 p.m. to talk about the book and his efforts to retrace the steps of the two brothers based on their letters home as they fought in the Civil War.

Register to attend by emailing programs@ptlibrary.org or call 724.941.9430 #1. A book signing will follow the presentation.
