Vermont Women and the Civil War
and Annual Meeting
On October 27th about 30 people joined together with masks to hear a presentation on Vermont women and their contributions to the Civil War. Howard Coffin presented a well documented story of Vermont women and their hardships, successes, and contributions to the war effort. They sewed uniforms, provided blankets, mended shoes, washed clothes, and cooked for the soldiers. Perhaps the most important role women played during the war was providing medical care for the sick and wounded.
