Second Friday Lecture: Major Ephraim Cutler Dawes: Outside of a Famous Brother’s Shadow

The name “Dawes” recalls one of the Civil War’s most remarkable fighting families. Brevet Brigadier General Rufus Dawes of the famed Iron Brigade penned a classic memoir of his “Service with the Sixth Wisconsin Volunteers.” But his younger brother, Ephraim, also served with distinction, equally as brave and courageous with the 53rd Ohio. Discover Ephraim’s fascinating story and reflect upon the display of his military artifacts with a true understanding of supreme service and sacrifice.
