Abraham Rudisill was born in Hanover PA on April 14, 1811, and entered the Pennsylvania Conference of the United Brethren Church in 1871 at the age of 60. A truly unique personality, he was a soldier throughout the Civil War, including the Battle of Gettysburg. He was also a self-educated scientist who contributed many articles to scientific journals. As much at home with Greek and Hebrew as with English, he was also a scholar and writer - and for a while he published a paper called The Monthly Friend. More information about Abraham, along with many of his letters, can be found at https://www.lycoming.edu/umarch/chronicles/2012/RudisillCombined.pdf.

"Paper read before the Hamilton Library and Historical Society on February 12, 1931."
Summary
"Landis explores important political moments, including Presidential and local elections between 1860 and 1865, as well as describes how Carlisle residents respond to various events during the war. These events include the initial rush to volunteer after Fort Sumter in April 1861, the Confederate occupation of Carlisle in 1863, and General Robert E. Lee surrender at Appomattox Court House in April 1865. In addition, Landis also includes several photographs of places in Carlisle during this period. This essay is from an address that Landis, a member of the Class of 1896, delivered on February 12, 1931 at the Hamilton Library in Carlisle." [from Dickinson.edu]
