RE: The Bloody Pillow Case
Fascinating, Anita!
Thanks for the link. I had never heard of vulcanized rubber overshoes. I knew about the rubberized blankets/ponchos which Union soldiers occasionally issued. Lew Powell had supposedly gutta percha (vulcanized rubber) buttons on his frock coat when captured. The comb also found on his person was described as gutta percha as well. I have to agree. This forum is a great knowledge base! "The Past is a foreign country...they do things differently there" - L. P. Hartley |
