ST. ALBANS SOURCES:

PERIOD SOURCES:

‘The raiders had been lounging about the different hotels in St. Albans for several days…’
“The Invasion of St. Albans.” (St. Albans Daily Messenger / St. Albans, Vermont / 20 October 1864 / page 2)

‘St. Albans has been surprised – excited. At about half-past three o’clock yesterday, our peaceable community was taken somewhat aback to find in our streets a company of some twenty or thirty armed horsemen. The meaning of it, it was impossible to divine. Men rushed from their stores and offices, not, perhaps, paralyzed with fear, but with wonderment. One enquired of another, “what does this mean?” “They are armed with revolvers!” “It is a rebel raid; they mean to destroy the village,” were the exclamations that greeted us on all sides as we entered the street.’
