Have you Heard?

In case you haven’t noticed… we have three new audio files on our website. In the first Register Howe talks about some basic concepts related to Registered Land. The Register’s second interview is a two-part discussion dealing with “Lowell in the Civil War”. This interview focuses on the tragic events that took place in Baltimore on April 19, 1861. Three soldiers from Lowell and one from Lawrence were killed by Southern sympathizers during a riot as they were being transported across the city. The death of Luther Ladd, Addison Whitney, Charles Taylor and Sumner Needham (Lawrence) were the first of the Civil War. They became the first martyrs of the great rebellion and became symbols for the country to rally around. If you have any suggestions for topics you would like to hear the register discuss feel free to let us know. You can do this using the “Contact Us” button on the Website.
