Paul Smith’s Hotel was constructed in 1859 in Brighton, New York by Apollos Smith in the town of Brighton, New York.

The war began over the disagreements between the North and South regarding slavery. The Civil War is known for having more American deaths in a war than any other war America has been a part of. People from both halves of the nation joined this battle, both voluntarily and through a draft. Patrick Casey, of Whitehall, Washington County, enlisted with the 104th Regiment of the New York Volunteer Infantry. He served with this regiment from 1862-1865.
