Throughout New Hampshire, towns, individuals, and veterans’ organizations have erected an assortment of memorials to the Civil War. Beginning with obelisks of the 1860s and continuing onto re-mastered works of the 21st century, historian George Morrison of Bow will present a diverse selection of New Hampshire’s commemorations and their stories at a presentation at the Pembroke Town Library. However, the event, originally scheduled for Thursday, Feb. 13 at 7 p.m., has been postponed due to incoming inclement weather, with a new date to be set soon.

Hosted by the Pembroke Historical Society, Morrison’s talk, entitled “Vanished Veterans: An Illustrated Introduction to New Hampshire’s Civil War Monuments and Memorials,” will come as the latest installment of the New Hampshire Humanities speaker series.

Morrison earned a B.A. in History at the University of New Hampshire. A high-school teacher for 27-years and a long-time researcher of unpublished primary sources, Morrison has traveled over 18,000 miles to research monuments and memorials.

The presentation will be free and open to the public. For more information, call 603-566-1031.
