Mount Hope's Civil War PlotBrian Bennett, author of Sons of Old Monroe, A Regimental History of Patrick O'Rorke's 140th New York Volunteer Infantry, joins Marilyn Nolte, Friends of Mount Hope Cemetery's Civil War historian, for the Friends' annual Civil War Tour. The story of the 140th New York Volunteer Infantry's involvement in the Civil War will be told through the lives of several of its members. These men, who fought to preserve the union, suffered many hardships, but also celebrated great victories. They left behind a rich written history. "These men eternally warrant our respect and admiration," states Bennett. Come and hear their stories!
