Thanks Linda, I'm aware of the Hardin family papers at CHS but haven't called them just yet. Unfortunately, Gen. Hardin started writing his memoirs but he only got as far as right before the Civil War. I'm hoping that he may have written a letter regarding the execution.

A very nice gentleman named James Huffstodt in Tallahassee has been researching Hardin for quite a while now and shared some of his contacts with me. He also believes the man on the wall is indeed Gen. Hardin.

I love these visual mysteries.
