“He was a Union soldier, but I believe he was also just a typical 16-year-old young kid from Beaver County” – Author Jay Paisley about William Henry Huffman
In 1861, sixteen year old William Henry Huffman of Darlington Township, Beaver County, enlisted in the Union Army. As part of the 100th PA regiment (Roundheads) based in Lawrence County, he participated in over 20 battles, including Fredericksburg and Vicksburg.
Jay Paisley, author of The Huffman Letters: Civil War Letters to Beaver County, Pennsylvania, will be taking his audience back in time to the Civil War, Saturday, April 9th, 10am at the Lawrence County Historical Society, 408 N. Jefferson Street, New Castle.
Paisley brings Huffman’s story to life through his discussion of the young man’s letters, highlighting his experiences during the war.
Paisley will also have a book signing at the end of his talk. Books are $20.
