Yankee Spy! Stoddard’s Jonathan Hale in the Civil War

February 8, 2025 | The Cathedral of the Pines | 2 pm

Cheshire County native Jonathan Davis Hale left New Hampshire to seek his fortune in the mid-1800s. He gained wealth in his adopted state of Tennessee, only to lose it all when the Civil War began because he supported the Union. His amazing life story is a tale of wealth, happiness, patriotism, danger, loss, and, finally, heartbreak and poverty.

This is a joint program between the Historical Society of Cheshire County and the Cathedral of the Pines.

Alan Rumrill is the senior historian of the Historical Society of Cheshire County.  He has written hundreds of articles and 10 books on historical subjects and made over 1000 local history presentations.  He is a native of Stoddard where his family has lived since 1770.
