Old Capitol Prison

[L Verge]

Way back in the early-1970s, while I was still teaching, there was a brief newspaper article about sixteen boxes of Civil War materials that had been recently discovered in a warehouse in Chicago. I have often wondered if anyone ever went through those things to find out what was there -- or did they just relegate them to a shredder or another warehouse...

I would love to find the "confession" or whatever it was that David Herold was writing during recesses in the courtroom.
