Join local historian Tim Warn for a fascinating look at the nearly 700 men from the Peekskill and Cortlandt area who served the Union in the American Civil War. Who were they, what units did they serve in and what battles did they see? What became of them after the war - and how many never made it home? Discover the mystery behind the 9,000-pound cannon at Hillside Cemetery, including new details from a recently uncovered 1898 newspaper article, and learn about the cannon's restoration.
