Dundas Valley Historical Society Speaker Series - Robin McKee

Our next meeting will be on Thursday. March 12th in the Education Room at the Dundas Museum & Archives and will start at 7:00pm sharp with light refreshments set up in the adjacent room.

Our returning Guest Speaker will be Robin McKee who will be presenting  ‘Hamilton & the Civil War’. 

More Canadians, by population, went to fight for the Americans during the Civil War than they did for Vietnam! In 1861, Canadians began crossing the border and signing up to enlist in the military to fight during the Civil War. Why? Learn the motives of Hamiltonians who went to war when the war was not a Canadian problem.  He has found 20 Civil War veterans in the Hamilton Cemetery, and three are black! There are more veterans buried in other surrounding cemeteries.
