Truman Naramore joined the Vermont Cavalry, fought in the Civil War, survived the Confederacy’s notorious Andersonville Prison, and came home to Vermont to raise a family, to farm, invent farm implements, and start local Grange chapters, all the while dealing with poor health. He eventually moved to California and was in the midst of the great land boom in Los Angeles in the 1880s.
Truman Naramore’s life reveals the impact of some major events of the nineteenth century on one man and his family: the Civil War, the mechanization of agriculture, and migration west. His adaptability to respond to changing times and demanding economic factors is a testament to the strength of Union veterans after the war.
