Civil War re-enactor portrays soldier at Shelton Intermediate School

Kevin Johnson from the Connecticut State Library portrayed a Civil War soldier Monday in the award-winning program, "Life and Time of William Webb," for seventh graders at Shelton Intermediate School. Private William Webb hailed from Connecticut.

The seventh graders created a gallery walk outside the school and set up placards along the entrance and walkway that honored Connecticut men who were killed at the Battle of Antietam on Sept. 17, 1862 in Sharpsburg, Md.

Thanks go out to Shelton Intermediate School Housemaster and Civil War historian Carolyn Ivanoff who provided the information and photos.
