Black River Falls and the Civil War

Wisconsin was barely a state at the start of the Civil War. One Black River Falls High School Senior spent some time researching and discovered how his community was involved as part of the high school Falls History Project.

From the Jackson County Chronicle: Levi Miles more readily enjoys studying world history. But after the past four months of researching the role of Black River Falls men in the Civil War, he says he’s learned the value of Jackson County’s role in an important slice of United States history.
“It’s just really, really neat,” said Miles, a Black River Falls High School senior. “Considering the time period (and our) far-north town, we had people fighting in the Civil War."
