Shadden Corrects Bridge Burner Story From Civil War
Captain J H Shadden of Kingston disputes Captain Cran P Young story about the 1861 bridge burnings. He contests details on Strawberry Plains and Charleston actions, asserts different dates, and recalls witnessing a hangman’s gallows and Confederate reactions. He cites the Sanders raiders burning the Charleston bridge in 1863 and questions Young’s portrayal of his father and others.
