Framingham's Civil War Hero - The Life of General George H. Gordon

This book will chronicle the life of George Henry Gordon, from his youth to his final days. The majority of the book will deal with his time spent as a General in the Civil War and his connection to Framingham, Massachusetts. He is still remembered in the town today (a number of historic sites are connected to him) and a walking tour by the Framingham History Center is scheduled to begin in August.
