RE: Powell's Remains
Wonderful post, Dave! You and Betty have done great work explaining the strange journey of Powell's remains. How great that you found Powell's listing in the Army Medical Museum's catalog. It must have been chilling for you to read, “P. Hung at Washington, D.C., for the attempted assassination of Secretary of State, W. H. Seward, in April, 1865.”
I wish that the Powell family knew that they could claim their son's body so that they could give him a decent burial. |
