Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

Thursday night I will be making a presentation at the Civil War Roundtable meeting, beginning at 7 p.m. at the Freeborn County Historical Society on my great-great-grandfather, Dr. A.C. Wedge of Albert Lea, and his role as a doctor with the Third Regiment Minnesota Volunteer Infantry. On July 13, 1862, the regiment surrendered to the enemy at the Battle of Murfreesboro, Tennessee, although records show that they had them outnumbered. In the early 1900s, Dr. Wedge read an account of the battle at a meeting he was speaking at, and I will be reading this along with having some artifacts of his on display. I hope you can make it.
