Frank Krone,
Portland, Oregon based historian
and independent scholar, will talk about the recent discoveries he has
made about the almost 20,000 Civil War veterans who moved to Oregon after the
Civil War and who set down roots and raised families as they helped Oregon to
prosper and grow. He will pay special attention to five Washington County
residents and their Civil War connections, including Beaverton’s first mayor
who fought in the Civil War. This lecture is free and open to the public. No registration required.
