Four Men of First Delaware Regiment program set Oct. 22

In recognition of the Delaware heroes who fought in the American Civil War, Dover’s Old State House will present Civil War Band of Brothers: Four Men of the First Delaware Regiment at 6 p.m., Thursday Oct. 22, via Zoom.

The Civil War has captured Americans’ imaginations for more than 150 years since the conflict’s conclusion in 1865. In this lecture, created by Old State House historical interpreters, viewers will have an opportunity to learn about the true stories of four men – a doctor, a chaplain, a soldier and an Irish immigrant – who served in the Union Army’s First Delaware Volunteer Infantry Regiment, which participated in some of the bloodiest battles of the war including Antietam, Fredericksburg and Gettysburg.

The virtual program is free and open to the first 100 registrants. To register, go to delaware.gov and search Civil War Band of Brothers.
