Description
Ohio provided many soldiers/sailors to the Union cause and was a key transportation hub and manufacturer of weapons, supplies, and uniforms. Mike Wise, President of the Big Walnut Area Historical Society, will portray his second great-uncle, Captain George Wise, who served as an adjutant in the Union Army’s 43rd Ohio Volunteer Infantry under Sunbury’s hometown hero, Major General William S. Rosecrans. He will recount how Ohio’s contributions to the Union war effort to suppress the Southern rebellion were critical in achieving victory and restoring the Union.
