Excerpt from Gazetteer and Business Directory of Franklin and Grand Isle Counties, Vt., For 1882-83 It was designed to give a brief account of all the church and other societies in the counties, but owing, in some cases, to the negligence of those who were able to give the necessary information, and in others, to the inability of any one to do so, we have been obliged to omit special notices of a few. We would suggest that our patrons observe and become familiar with the explanations at the commencement of the Directory. The names it em braces, and the information connected therewith, were obtained by actual canvass, and are as correct and reliable as the judgment of those from whom they were solicited render practicable. Each agent is furnished with a map of the town he is expected to canvass, and he is required to pass over every road, and call at every farm-house and place of business in the town, in order to obtain the facts from the individuals concerned wherever possible.

In October 1864, approximately twenty-one Rebel soldiers took over St. Albans, Vermont, proclaiming that it was now under Confederate government control. This northernmost land action of the Civil War ignited wartime fear and anger in every Northern state. The raiders fired on townspeople as they stole horses and robbed the local banks. St. Albans men organized under recently discharged Union captain George Conger, F. Stewart Stranahan and John W. Newton to chase the Rebels out of town. The complex network of the Confederate Secret Service was entangled with the raid and conspired to unravel the North throughout the war. The perpetrators later stood trial in Canada, causing international ramifications for years to come. Michelle Arnosky Sherburne leads readers through the drama, triumph and legacy of the Confederate raid on St. Albans.
