Pam Newhouse
Pam is the author of the book about the Codori farm and
family, a project for the Friend of the National Parks at Gettysburg.
On November 11, 2001 at 11:30 A.M., in conjunction with the Hillsdale
Veterans Day ceremonies, the many descendants in Michigan joined other states in
erecting and dedicating a memorial to all the Michigan veterans that perished on
the Sultana. Given approval by the Hillsdale County Board of Commissioners, it
was placed on the Court House lawn in downtown Hillsdale. This Michigan city is
so appropriate because over 100 soldiers from the 18th Michigan Infantry, that
mustered-in in Hillsdale, were on board the Sultana that night.
