Fort Snelling and the Civil War

Over one hundred fifty years ago, our state offered the first volunteers to defend the Union in the fight against slavery. Every Minnesota soldier passed through historic Fort Snelling to the fighting. Using detailed research and first-hand accounts, Stephen E. Osman’s new book, Fort Snelling and the Civil War, tells the stories of the men and women who created a community in the old fort.

Fort Snelling and the Civil War is available in trade-size softcover, with sixteen chapters, source notes, bibliography, index, more than one-hundred photos and seven maps in 336 pages from the Ramsey County Historical Society.
