The Dexter Area Historical Society is proud to sponsor the authors of an acclaimed book about Michigan soldiers. Martin Bertera and Kim Crawford, who researched and wrote "The 4th Michigan Infantry in the Civil War," will give a presentation about Colonel Harrison Jeffords of Dexter, a heroic young officer who was mortally wounded in combat at the battle of Gettysburg on July 2, 1863.
The event is free and open to the public as the Society looks to recruit new members and gets ready for its June event "Civil War Days at Gordon Hall" (June 8-10).
