The Second Vermont Regiment, the first of the three years’ regiments to leave the state, with one exception, is the last to return home, having reached Burlington on Wednesday. Well may it be said of it that it has seen the war through and with its valor achieved a record which few if any regiments in any army can equal.


Unfortunately, life happens and gets in the way of genealogy! I was not able to publish for a few weeks. The Vermont Project will be back next Thursday.

In the meantime, I thought I could share with you this article on the return of the Vermont Second Regiment from the Civil War. Louis Tourville was mustered out on July 15, 1865. He was one of these men.
