Ragged Civil War Snippets Spark Public Amid Rumors From Ocean to Iowa
A Jersey schooner off Maine hailed a whaler flying a secession flag and threatened to sink it. A Rochester couple wed after a man asked if his fiancée preferred widowhood over cowardice. A Pennsylvania Dutch officer doubted if fortifications could fight without killing. Leroy Gates, a Barraboo secessionist, joined South Carolina and faced Palmetto reprisals. Other notes mention arms shipments, regiments forming, and local papers like Marengo Republican and McGregor Press resuming publication.
