Remembering Lorain County's Civil War Heritage in Elyria
A narrative recalls early Lorain County militias marching through Elyria with blue coats and plumes, led by N B Gates on Bucephalus, linking volunteer mobilizations to Lincoln's 300000 call and the 1862 spirit mentored by local women aiding soldiers.
