Author and historian Michael Eckers will discuss his book "The Boys of Wasioja" on Tuesday, August 19 at 7 p.m. at New Ulm Public Library. The book focuses on the story of 68 men who enlisted early in the Civil War to fight for the Union. Signing up in Dodge County, Minnesota, this group included 10 students from a seminary in Wasioja. CASTLE Lifelong Learning, the New Ulm Battery, and the Brown County Historical Society are partners. This free event is made possible by a grant provided by the Traverse des Sioux Library Cooperative and was funded in part with money from Minnesota's Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund.
