They left out the bit where Confederate guerrillas entered Vermont from Canada and robbed (four?) banks of about $300,000. Although the Canadian (actually British at the time) authorities soon arrested the Confederates and interned them for the duration of the War, the money was never recovered. $300,000 'll buy a lot of Molsons, 'specially in 1865.
